Sarah Palin - Joe Biden VP debate could make ratings history
Forget the presidential debates. The veepstakes has all the action, and this week’s match between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin could make ratings history.
“I love the vice presidential debate; it’s always the one I look forward to the most,” says Alan Schroeder, author of “Presidential Debates: 40 Years of High-Risk TV” and a journalism professor at Northeastern U. “The stakes are lower, so the candidates usually attack harder. It’s much better political theater.”Anyone not remember Lloyd Bentsen’s stinging put-down of Dan Quayle in the 1988 veep debate when Quayle compared himself to JFK? “Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”
“The vice presidential debate usually draws the lowest ratings, but this could be the year that changes all that,” Schroeder says, mainly because of the Palin factor. “This is the mystery woman meeting the public almost for the first time. We’ve never had such a thing with a vice presidential candidate in history.”

No way Tim, Sarah Palin is a Master Debater. You obviously haven’t seen the pic from this website yet. You’d be a believer if you did.
