Biden said he would debate Palin with respect.
SARASOTA, Florida (CNN) – Joe Biden again refused to attack the experience of GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, hours before she was to deliver a speech sharply critical of the Democratic ticket. At an event in Sarasota, a voter asked Biden how he would debate Palin when she “was not prepared to face an international crisis.” Biden offered a strong rebuke. “Well look, the answer is one word: with respect,” he said. “She is the governor of a state. She warrants respect.” He told the crowded high school gymnasium he would debate Palin on the issues, not on her experience of governor of Alaska. “It will be determined by what her positions are,” Biden said. “Our disagreements will be based upon how fundamentally, if it is fundamental, and I expect it's likely to be, her views on everything form the Supreme Court, protecting a woman's right, all the way up to ending the war in Iraq. That's what it's going to be based upon.” Filed under: Joe Biden Republican National Convention Sarah Palin
