Did you catch Joe Biden making the rounds on the morning shows today? He obviously jumped out of bed this morning and said, “I have to start lowering expectations for the VP debate NOW!.” He looked like someone stole his puppy.
These quotes from his CNN live shot are representatibve of his morning,
“Boy she’s going to be a tough debater, she’s going to be a skillful debater.”
Here are a couple of exchanges,
Biden: “What I’m going to try to do, and I may not be able to get to because she’s so good, but I’m gonna try to point out where we want to take the country and how they don’t have a single answer to dig us out of the hole we’ve been dug into the last eight years.”
“If it comes down who can deliver the toughest lines, she’s going to win the debate, but I’m not going there.”
John Roberts: “I can see that you are already playing the game of raising expectations for her.”
Biden: Hey look, you watched her last night she was good, she was really good.”
Roberts: I’m looking forward to that debate on October 2nd
Biden: I’m not sure I am now after seeing her.
Is Biden afraid of Pailin? No, of course not. Yes, he was being gracious, to an extent. It showed me that he is unsure of how to effectively go after her.
