whats the difference between a pitbull and a vice president?

Its not lipstick.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin tomorrow. I think its our best chance so far for us to get to see who the over protected Palin is. When she is on stage facing off against a guy who has been in the senate as long as i have been alive, i think the real Palin will come out. She will be forced to answer scripted questions, but she wont have a script for her rebuttals.

in recent days its become ever more evident how uneasy the campaign is with her. Even John McCain squirmed in a joint interview asking about her comments over the weekend. She has been coddled and protected to such a degree that Rochelle Riley, a Free Press reporter, called for her to quit. When she does speak she continues to say odd and just plain dumb things. In this more lengthy Couric interview she calls homosexuality a choice and when asked what news sources she uses to stay informed, she says 'all of them' and goes on to explain that Alaska has the news like the rest of the US.

This alone is suspect, not to mention her shady church affiliation, ties to the Alaska Independence Party, and total lack of any type of foreign policy experience. Like Couric, i look forward to tomorrow's debate to see how she handles the unscripted spot light withough handlers to rush reporters out of the room when the ask her anything of substance.

the real question is what is the difference between Sarah Palin and a VP? I bet its bigger than the difference between Joe Biden and a VP.
