Palin's first strike? Plagiarism
How should Biden respond? And yeah, I absolutely think she'll go there.

1. Piece of cake for Joe. He's had to answer that charge many, many,
many times before.

9. I always loved the last few lines of the NYT article about him being cleared...
"The Senator ended his Presidential campaign Sept. 23, 1987, and, because the allegations involved his standing as a lawyer, he notified the state Supreme Court about them later that year.

The court's Board on Professional Responsibility, consisting of lawyers and non-lawyers, ruled on Dec. 21, 1987, that Mr. Biden had not violated any rules.

Mr. Biden said he decided not to publicize the ruling, which was confidential. ''I guess I had in the back of my mind . . . this was more of a personal vindication than a political one,'' he said.

But he added that he had decided to divulge the ruling because he expected ''somebody would go back someday and check. And I knew there was a hard record there.''

2. It would be a loss for her, since he can easily
tell the story...being that it was trumped up bullshit anyway.

4. Joe has had answers for that since the beginning of time.
She'll have to do better than that to rattle him.

6. I don't think she's going to go there. She'll attack, but it won't be that personal, or she'll
just look like a flaming bitch.

13. Nah, she'll hit him over the RAVE act and it's negative impact on the Meth market
Though seriously, the RAVE act is some piece-of-shit legislation and it was one reason I couldn't warm up to Biden in the primaries. Kinda like Tipper Gore and rock lyrics, I suppose - there's always something that doesn't fit 100%. What can you do.

15. Talk about her getting on a 10 hour flight when she knew she was in labor
with a special needs child. Oh right that we can't talk about, even though it endangered her childs life.

She will question how he can defend showing up, when he always trumpets his work on the Violence against Women Act.

20. That'd be a hoot!
Lordy, it'd be worth it to hear her mangled explanations for Keating, if she even knows what that's about, that is.
