Biden? Biden?

In case the American voting population may have forgotten, there is another vice presidential nominee out there. His name is Joe Biden.
He could be the equivalent of the Professor and Mary Ann in the first year of Gilligan’s Island where they were just referred to as “the rest” in the popular sitcom theme song. But as “Island” fans will remember, in season two they were given their proper billing at the end of the song.
Back in the saddle
Just like the forgotten duo, Joe Biden is back and getting his proper recognition. Why? Well, it’s because of Sarah Palin, sure, but news is news.
He’s gearing up for his October 2 debate with the “moose-shooter” (as Barack Obama described Governor Palin recently). And he’s doing it by preparing with another female Governor who shares similarities with Palin.
Getting ready to rumble
Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm will play the part of Sarah Palin in multiple sparring sessions preparing the sometimes-gaffe prone Senator for the upcoming showdown.
Granholm and Palin are both sitting Governors. They’re both in the same age bracket and both competed in beauty pageants. In fact, Granholm once appeared on “The Dating Game.” And they’ve both been described as “tough as nails.”
Just a sample
Biden gave a little preview of his strategy at a fundraiser last night in Chicago.
“I know what she’s going to try to do,” told the gathering of supporters. “She’s going to try to make it as personal as she can. She’s going to take a lot of straight lefts and jabs at me, she’s going to try to get me to respond, she’s going to try to get me to respond in a personal way. That’s not my style. I’m not going to do it.”

who ?
Never heard of him....
Isn’t he one of those Congressional idiots, like Oil Nazi (”No oil for you!) Pelosi?
Make sure you remember your athletic skills from your years of youth, Joe. Governor Sarah Palin does not need to remind people yet again she was a “Hockey mom” when her children were young, or that she was a basketball player herself in high school. They do not refer to her as “Sarah Barracuda” for nothing. When she makes a drive in to shoot, she is all elbows.
And “shoot” is not an image to take lightly, either. Any number of moose manitou can attest to that.
I am convinced that Mrs. Palin is being well-prepared by OUR side - John Bolton specifically - with the information she needs to make an impressive showing both on the stump and with her upcoming debate with Slow Joe Biden. My hope is greater that Mrs. Palin impresses the “world” with her natural saavy and understanding than with any blunder we (could/would) expect from Mr. Biden. I hope she just knocks the ball completely out of the ballpark when that debate happens. She needs all of our good thoughts and prayers going HER way. Be sure you take the time.....
Biden? Biden?
Pray for Sarah that the Holy Spirit will be in her mouth, and guide her in wisdom, and Biden falls into the traps he sets for her. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Prayer ping!
