In October, the one and only vice presidential debate will unfold in St. Louis. The forum will feature Democratic U.S. Senator Joseph Biden from Delaware...and Republican Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska. No contest! Biden should easily outshine Palin in what should be an intellectual mismatch.
The only caveat for Biden: don't be smug and ungentlemanly. Biden's plus is his ability to display his knowledge of foreign policy and other pertinent issues without coming across as a policy wonk. From what little I've seen of her, Palin seems personable enough. She may try the strategy Bush used against Gore in 2000. That is, being more relatable to the masses by dumbing down the discourse. I still think Biden will win hands down because he's better at ad-libbing than Gore.
