Here’s where I think Joe is kicking her cheerleading butt. She can’t talk foreign policy–she gets points for just pronouncing the names right. ---

Folksy doesn’t work when talking about foreign policy. Biden is looking much stronger now. ---

Finger pointing --oh, the irony burns. Does she KNOW the GOP loves Big Business. She better stop drumming all that stuff about nasty. Joe’s on a roll–the same as George Bush’s! ---

God she sounds like a moron. “The answer is no but I’d like to talk about another subject I mugged up on.” It’s nice that looking into the camera counts as smarts, though. ---

Point to Biden on the real power holders in Iran. Hearing Palin talk about “women’s rights” is ironic, especially when her policy on choice is the same as that [currently in Iran](http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/09/09/palin_fundamentalist/). > [@](#): > > Iran’s law on abortion is therefore virtually identical to the one that Palin would like to see imposed on American women, and the rationale in both cases is the same, a literalist religious impulse that resists any compromise with the realities of biology and of women’s lives. If she says Nucular one more time, I’m going to scream. ---
