Watch: Gov. Sarah Palin talks about McCain's performance in Friday's debate and what can be expected from her on Thursday.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) — Before hunkering down at John McCain's Arizona ranch for three days of debate boot camp, Sarah Palin used a Monday rally in Ohio to throw a few jabs at her Democratic counterpart, Sen. Joseph Biden.

She started by taking a swipe at Biden's age and 36-year tenure in the United States Senate.

"I do look forward to Thursday night and debating Sen. Joe Biden," Palin said while introducing John McCain at a rally here. "We are going to talk about those new ideas, new energy for America. I'm looking forward to meeting him too. I've never met him before. But I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."

Palin, 44, would have been eight years old when Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at the age of 29. John McCain was 36.

Palin turned 18 in 1982, the year McCain was first elected to Congress at the age of 46. If elected, McCain, 72, would become the oldest president in United States history.

The Alaska governor has generally shied away from attacking Biden directly while on the trail, although she did use the "second grade" remark in an interview with Fox News two weeks ago. But Monday marked the first time she has openly engaged Biden in her stump speech.

She also challenged her vice presidential opponent on policy grounds. Speaking in a state that's among the nation's leaders in coal output, consumption and reserves, Palin tried to capitalize on Biden's recent criticism of coal production as environmentally hazardous.

"We're not supporting clean coal," Biden said last week in Maumee, Ohio. "No coal plants here in America. Build 'em, if they're gonna build 'em, over there and make 'em clean because they're killing ya."

Palin promised that a McCain administration will utilize clean coal technologies that seek to mitigate the environmental impact of coal production and use.

"Just recently, Sen. Biden made it perfectly clear that in an Obama-Biden administration, there would no use of clean coal at all," she said, drawing boos from the audience. "From Wyoming to West Virginia and especially right here in Ohio, American coal resources are greater than the oil riches of the Middle East.

"And yet Joe Biden says, 'Sorry Ohio, we're not going to use it.' As for Sen. McCain and I, we will make clean coal a reality, and to help power the American economy with clean coal technology, we're going to look to the hard working people of Ohio to help us do that."

I thought she quit school in the third grade. Second grade wow, now that explain everything. She should have stayed another year.
I wonder how palin and first dude feel about john mccain dismissing them from debate night, and not only have rudy speak for him, but rudy and judy were waving to the crowd joined the mccain aboard john and cindy plane. and no palin

I feel sorry for palin, I mean how much more trashy can mccain get Also, I heard that CSB has more footage of the kate palin interview. And the word is, that it is worseeeeeeeeer than the released footage.

brad   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Wow. smart girl to be listening to Biden at age 2. Honestly the most stupid thing to say especially when McCain is 72. Sad

John Starnes Tampa Florida   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Her juvenile, self-satisfied arrogance and stunted intellect make clear that the only difference between her and George Bush is……..lip stick.

Daniel va   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

blablabla Palin the only think which differ you from Joe is you can see Russia from your kitchen window

Low   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Well, at least you did get something right, but you will be 44 when Obama becomes President of the United States

Young Mom   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Go `palin! ~ You go Girl!!…..show that old man (biden) who`s the boss!
Sara…Your the best!!

Not the Grinch   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Well, since she wants to throw jabs at Biden who has barely mentioned her, it's time to hit her with a couple of hooks and uppercuts about her intelligence. Period.

BC   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

…it's like, "What's the difference between a Pit Bull and Sarah Palin? – Pit Bulls are pretty easy to train." I can't believe McCain is going to let her go through with this… I still won't be surprised if she is a no show.

Oseki Otens Evans   September 29th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Bring it on! Remember to let americans know why it`s good for rape victims to pay for their own examination bills Sarah, and why you refused to testify in the troopergate scandal and yes, about the witchcraft thing in your church. This will surely be fun, looking forward!

landi   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

BUSH : Bad

MCCAIN : Management

PALIN : Policies

Repulican destroy the economy and the environment   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Just because you keep calling it "clean" coal doesn't eventually make it clean. There's no such thing as clean coal. It's bad for the environment. Republicans only care about making money, screw Mother Earth. And now Palin is painting Biden as being a permanent Washington figure? Does she know who her running partner is? The economy is in horrible shape thanks to Republicans and lack of oversight. Yet, people are still voting Republican? I just do not get it. Remember when Clinton was leaving office and we had a projected 5 billion dollar surplus in the next 4 years?

Chad in Cincinnati   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Add this to the list of things Sarah Palin says that are either dumb or not grounded in reality… I mean come on, you're running with the guy who wants to be the Oldest President EVER (that has a nice ring to it coming in after Worst President Ever, eh?) and you point out that his opponent's running mate is really old… just 7 years younger than your guy. OR to put it in terms she might understand: if Biden were to become President, he'd be about McCain's age right now, after finishing a second term.

Diane Mandy   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

She's unbelievable. ANd how long has she been listening to McCain speeches?

PD Thomas   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

NOW LET'S SEE WHO ACCUSES HER OF MAKING REMARKS AGAINST HIS AGE…

IF HE HITS BACK, NO SEXIST COMMENTS PEOPLE…

Ted   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

She is the only reason i will vote for democrats this time. She is STUPID, she have no idea whats going on around the world. And above all she pretend that she can run this nation easily, Pls drop out MS.PALIN for the sake of american. God save us all.

Cincy voter   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Palin is going to destroyed by Biden in the debate Thursday. There is no way she can successfully "cram" for it. She isn't anywhere near smart enough to pull it off and failure is inevitable. If her VP nomination couldn't give McBush the long term momentum he needed, and it didn't, then neither will her debate performance. The Obama camp has nothing to worry about. The pitbull in lipstick has proven that she is all bark and no bite. The debate should be fun to watch.

DJ in Colorado   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

yes, another repug who is not too good at math.

haha   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

yes, she'll build the coal bridge to no where, yaaaaayyyyyy

Lou   September 29th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Cant wait either. Sarah is going to rock on thursday night.

SoCal   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

"We will make clean coal a reality." Seriously? Really now? With all of the kick backs given to energy and oil companies over the past 8 years, I fear that a McCain-Palin admin. would just continue "more of the same"…not to over-use Joe Biden's comment at the DNC.
And by the way CNN, Regan was older at his second inaguration than McCain would be if elected President…

Judge   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Palin needs to be careful about what she think she knows and stick to what she actually knows. She is an idoit and so is John McCain.

demwit   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

If Joe's hair plugs fall out, Sarah can adopt them because Plug goes great with Bristol, Piper, Track, Willow, and Trig..

Ex Republican   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Good to see Sarah doing away with issues entirely. Now Biden is too old. What's next? McCain saying women have no business being on a presidential ticket?

John, Encino, California   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

I wonder how Joe Biden is feeling going into this debate. If I were him, I would be humiliated. The guy has been in government since Palin was a child and has been all over the world. He's voted on some of the most important issues the country has ever faced and chaired important committees, yet here he is, facing off with a woman who knows just about nothing about anything except what her Republican handlers tell her. What can he do? Attack her inexperience? I don't know. He can't just call her stupid, even though that is her most obvious disqualifier. Palin's insistence on remaining on the ticket would put the whole country at risk if McCain were to be elected. She is both ignorant and ambitious– a dangerous combination in anyone, but especially in a politician.

Wayne   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Can someone tell her that McCain is even older than Biden. Old jokes wont work.

Jenny, Rio Vista, CA   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

If Palin is so looking forward to debating Joe Biden, then why did her campaign demand rules that prevent the two candidates from asking each other questions.

And why does she need 2 weeks to rehearse if she is "so ready".

D, IN   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Tina Fey should show up to the debate and would do a better job than her.

Bruce   September 29th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Wonder who wrote that for her..
I think she has been hiding and might jsut well be better than biden gives her credit for.
Of course I also think that something is up with her going to AZ to Debate Camp, and "Todd and the kids coming there as well" ..would not put it past some family emergency that will cause her to not debate, or drop out…this si all being too well orchestarted…almost like the supposed "suspension of the campaign"/

cmc   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

give me a break, this is typical, when all else fails pull the BS card out. Please no more of the "moderation" crap.

November fools??   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Just recently, Gov. Palin made it perfectly clear that in a McCain-Palin administration, there would be no use of truth at all.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Please stop spreading those lies in my state Palin. Thank you.

JOYCE MOORE   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

SARAH PALIN SHOULD WORRY MORE ABOUT MAKING A FOOL OF HERSELF AGAIN-AS SHE DID WITH KATIE COURIC–INSTEAD OF ATTACKING SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING POLITICAL FIGURE FOR 35+ YEARS. JUST BECAUSE ONE HAS AGE DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE WISDOM!

Spuddy In New Orleans, LA   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

She's kidding right? All of a sudden she's ready to debate Joe Biden. Does she not realize that in a debate she cannot answer any of the questions with " I find some and get back to ya" This woman is a joke AND it isn't even a funny joke. As a female, I would love to have a female as POTUS or even Vice POTUS, just not her. She is not qualified. She will set the Women's Movement back 100 years. You can't tell me there weren't any other more QUALIFIED females that John McCain could've picked. He needs to be drug tested QUICK, he had to be on something when he picked this woman and I use the term loosely.

david   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

She's great at delivering other people's lines, but you have to wonder if she'd have anything to say beside garbled nonsense she had to come up with it on her own.

Becky   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

jabs jabs jabs that's all she's good for. If she's wanting to not sound like George W. Bush, she's not doing a good job. If this cheap behavior of hers is what is to be expected at the VP Debate, I am not worried.

Obama/Biden '08

carol   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Sarah Palin does what she does best and that is talk a load of junk, so out of touch with reality……I just do not know how she and John Mccain can go around the country talking all about what they are going to do……..hasn't John McCain done enough already with the crisis in the financial markets!!!!!
It's time for them to just disappear into the sunset…..this country does not need them now or ever!!!!
ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP REPUBLICAN PARTY.

McCain = McChicken   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Not a wise strategy. It makes her look too young…

VA girl for Obama   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Palin, please! Go back toAlaska and continue shooting moose and eating their young. John McCain is old enought to be my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather so, you should not be talking about age….You idiot! Biden is going to eat you alive and I can not wait to watch!

jill   September 29th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Would it behoove Ms. Palin to issue a statement which represents her own intellect rather than demonstrating her best skill is attacking her opponents with lines supplied by the McCain campaign?

Don   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

She need to talk about the Economy Stupid. I think the bush team has lost all touch with reality and allowing her to campaign negative is not going to shore up anyone but the base and that alone will not do the job. John McCain and team need to get their act together or end the campain.

McCain/Palin 08

Dustin   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Maybe she can include Clean Coal Energy as part of her explanation of the bailout plan next time!

K   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

aThat's all she does is talk trach about people, no credibility at all.
No experience and the ignorance shows.
BOO THIS WOMAN
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

George in Indianapolis   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Double standard if I ever saw one. Unless the Obama camp can go after McCain on his age who is 7 years older than Biden. Then Palin is way out of line going after Biden. Perhaps if she had paid attention in second grade, she may have learned acceptable sociall behavior, self-dicipline as oppoes to pouting, and just maybe she would have learnerned how to spek in complete sentences. Who knows she might would have been able to understand world affairs beyond the 2nd grade level.

Barbara Chicago, IL   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

What a little Kid. ewww!

Mark   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

"But I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in like second grade."

Fitting since she's been running her campaign like a 2nd grader

WI Cheesehead   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

“Straight Distortion Express”
It's time for McCain campaign to let Palin be Palin — and let it all hang out, we keep hearing she’s a good “team player” but someone needs to tell her that being a VP is not a HS BB game she’s playing. Otherwise keep the leash and muzzle on her for another 36 days, unless McCain wants to do a mop-up every time his patchwork VP speaks buth then again he might as well just before he goes into retirement.

Darryl   September 29th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Whatever the case, after Palin and Allen met, VECO contributed $5,000 to Palin’s campaign for lieutenant governor. The contributions came at $500 a pop over a two-day period in late December from Allen, his executives and a couple of their spouses, representing 10 percent of all money Palin raised in her 2002 campaign.

Today, Palin is Sen. John McCain’s presidential running mate on the Republican ticket. She’s cast herself as a reformer, the woman mayor-turned governor who cleaned up Alaska’s politics. She now vows to change Washington.

Al   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Biden should win this debate easily, no any excuses for him. We've seen her talking!

Obama/Biden 2008

JD in NC   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I'd like to hear her explain *how* we are going to use clean coal technology, and why we should use a technology that is behind solar and wind power. This smells like a way to let coal sidestep regulations to help "fund" new research.

TINA   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

BIDEN AND OBAMA ARE BOTH IDIOTS WHO HAVE NOT IDEA HOW TO HELP THIS COUNTRY. WE WILL BE ATTACKED AGAIN WORST THAN 911 IF THEY GET IN.

November fools??   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Just recently, Gov. Palin made it perfectly clear that in a McCain-Palin administration, there would be no use of truth at all.

McCain didn't utter a word about clean coal until after Obama did.

Please stop spreading those lies in my state Palin. Thank you.

maynard hopkins wi   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Sarah Palin will do just fine … she will be the politicain that she is…I read that she is on a leash well just wait until the debate then you people will have seen the other side of V. P. Palin give it to him blow this guy out of the water

Bob Indianapolis IN   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

SO if anyone says anything bad about Caribou Barbie, it's sexist, but she can call out Biden for being old? Ageist, much, honey?

Oh, by the way, science [something strange in creationism land] does not support the economic reality of "clean coal". First you have to extract the CO2 from the coal. Next you have to store it someplace. And if that someplace leaks, uh the result would be more breathtaking than all the leg-crossing that went on last week.

Here's two new words for you to learn: Lake Nyos!

Sweetgreen   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

CNN…FYI, this isn't news. Palin has said this several times. Her speeches are all the same. Palin began saying this over 2 weeks ago, now here you come with "breaking news" as if she just started this. I thought you guys were journalist. It's called research and someone is obviously not on the job @ CNN.

demwit   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Joe has hair plugs older than all 4 of Sarah's children..

Heather, Cleveland, OH   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

It's funny that Palin can attack Joe Biden's policy positions. It will be difficult for Biden to do the same because Palin has NO policy positions whatsoever. Maybe she'll "find ya some and bring 'em to ya", but after a month of campaigning, the only major policy position on which she has taken a stand is the one she took about following Bin Laden into Pakistan if need be – one that her running mate, the man actually OLDER than Joe Biden has to retract the next day.

What a bumbling pair these two are!

ajks   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Democrats can not use age as a talking point, but Palin can? Again she is using her female gender to get away with what other politicians can not do.

Tom   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

I think Sarah Palin will do better in the debate with Joe Biden than most people think. She will spit out the lines that they have pounded into her head at debate camp. Now here is where it gets really interesting, understanding what you say and saying it with believable conviction is the real test. Smart people can generally pull this off however from what I have seen Sarah is not one of those people. I believe the rehearsed lines and gestures will come across to those well informed loud and clear. I do not wish her any ill will however the fact that she does not seem to realize she is in way over her head is very troubling . This old issue is compounded by the fact that it is obvious the McCain campaign seems to know she falls way short.

Change..just the SAME   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

She can't be talking about no one age. If age was the problem then McCain would not have used her on his ticket. I am so sick of PEOPLE yelling sexist, she a soccer mom, ect…SHE does NOT have the RIGHT to go around to town to town RUNNING her mouth and expect not to BE talked about.
Biden ask her:
-Palin depicts herself as a pit bull fighting good old boy politics in her years as mayor she and her friends RECEIVED special benefits.
-Palin needed to sell her house during her last year as Wasilla mayor, she got the city to sign off on a special zoning EXCEPTION…and did so without keeping a promise to remove a potential FIRE hazard.
-She gladly accepted gifts from merchants.
-Palin’s actions after being elected mayor in 1996 raised possible ETHICAL RED Flags.

Obama/Biden 08

Cam   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Wow, have some respect Sarah.

I mean, isn't McCain older than Biden? 72 seems to be older than 65. The bar has been set so low for this tragic VP pick that everyone says Biden has to go easy on her. That doesn't stop her from disrespecting a man who has forgotten more than she will ever know.

It is a sad day when just because of a person's gender their opponent is not allowed to point out their serious shortcomings. If she was a man, everybody would be just fine with Biden shredding her. Only in America could a potential VP use her gender, inexperience, and lack of knowledge as a way to shield herself from scrutiny. If I was American (which I'm not) I would be ashamed to have her as a VP pick.

I hope Biden shreds her. Then all the spinners can just say, well Joe is Joe and he went over the line……poor Sarah. How pathetic.

Jim F   September 29th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

She sounds like she wrote her speeches in second grade too.

Mo   September 29th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

If Sarah Palin is so "experienced" – why is she being "coached "on how to "debate"? Someone please tell me………

Former Clinton supporter   September 29th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Biden be careful— they're trying to egg you on, it's so obvious!

They're such dirty players— she has no clue about the issues so she's diverting her comments to his age.

Bulldog   September 29th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Wow, she can get away with it but as soon as Biden says something they call him sexist. What a hypocrite.

The more this lady opens her mouth the more i dislike her. All she can do is attack but she can't back an ounce of it up with substance.

Sarah Palin – Wiccan free since 2003

Does Palin really want to antagonize Biden? And is it really a good idea to tease about Biden's age, considering the fact that she's running with a 73 year old man?

Sure Palin. Criticize Biden's age. Never mind the fossil you call a running-mate. If she wants to make age an issue, so be it. It will come back to bite her.

Trish-NJ   September 29th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Wow! This woman is one-of-a-Kind! If I were her, I'd be very careful as to how she throws insults at her counter parts, as her running mate was a guest at the last super! Also, since she thinks that she has foreign policy experience b/c she can see Russia from her house I’d say this makes her some-what of an idiot, and idiots should just keep quiet! I can’t wait to watch her eat her words when she falls flat on her face during the debate. This is must see TV for sure.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   September 29th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Palin is at her best, saying stupid things that have nothing to do with "her" qualifications as VP or issues which she's proven not to know. Palin can't talk on issues but can read a gossip column and quote from that which just ain't gonna cut it.

Scott Tucson   September 29th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Andrea KC   September 29th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

This woman is dumber than I thought. Is she seriously attempting to make fun of Biden's age and years in the senate? Has she ever met John McCain. Seriously McCain is 6 years older than Biden (McCain born in 1936; Biden born in 1942). Instead of wasting time acting like a dumb blond (no offense to the smart blonds in the world) she needs to spend her time preparing for the thrashing she'll receive in Thursday night's debate.

When John McCain announced his choice for VP, I felt amazement. After a few days and "performances" I felt wonder. A few times I felt frustration and ire. Now, watching this poor creature with no skills, not alot of intellect and, amazingly, no self awareness, I just feel pity.

Vern   September 29th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

This woman needs to keep her mouth shut because she knows nothing. She's talking about Biden age, just how old is McCain? Does she realize than McCain is older than Biden!? She is a nutcase!

Osama Bin Laden's intention on 911 was to destroy our economic structure. Plan well executed.

Thanks to John McCain and his experience.

She couldn't even handle Katie Couric. How does she plan on handling Biden. She must have been a cheerleader in high school as she is doing a great job of that now…what a horrible pick by McCain

Hoping she'll bbe sorry after this debate, and may be decide to bow out.

wwf   September 29th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

She better get her shots in while she can, especially from a distance. If the gloves are allowed to come off on Thursday, she is going to wish she had stayed home. Oh, she could always cry foul, because she is a woman who wants to act like a man, talk like a man, just not be treated like a man. Glad to know sexism is alive and well.

bill b. from Stratford,Ct   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I'm sick of all these pundits out here telling Biden he needs to go easy on Palin at the debate, but in the mean time, she saying what every she wants about Biden and Obama on the trail. Screw that crap, she's in the big league now so I say treat her like everyone else running for office, go after her hard and show no shame!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN – Please Post this – Comment Re: McCain's public comments about attending the Presidential Debates

I would also like to interject that if McCain is aiming towards transparency if elected as our President then why did he not tell all of us (Americans) that there was no Republican elder that would be at the Economical Bailout and that was why he flew back to Washington? Instead he put everyone into a tail spin because we did not understand his position. This tells me that he was making a political attempt to throw the entire debate and the polls to slant his direction because he KNEW he was loosing ground….

McCain does not speak the TRUTH!

Phil, CA   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Maybe Biden should retort with, "Well, McCain started his career off debating a T. Rex. But wait, Sarah Palin probably doesn't believe in dinosaurs."

That comment makes her sound like the spoiled little brat she is. Can she say something INTELLIGENT for once?!?!?!?

Rj   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

With the country in crisis, we can't afford to even joke about Sarah possibly being anywhere near the White House. I'm scared!

Justin   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Nice cheap shot on Biden's age.

God forbid anyone mention the fact that McCain is old without an uproar from the right.

chelle   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Sarah Palin is trying to tell us that she was following politics in the second grade so avidly that she was aware of a Senator from Delaware's speeches. Yet this is the same person that DID NOT KNOW what the Vice President of the United States does???? Oh please….Sarah Palin has let yet another lie given to her by her handlers cross her lips.

As for clean coal – no such animal exists, which was Joe Biden's point. There are methods to make coal use cleaner…but not CLEAN.

Tainopower   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Will Biden tell palin that she is right? like obama did on the presidential debate . Obama say 7 time that McCain was right. Will his age affect him whit his gaffles ? Will he undermined the women of this country like he has done in the past? my take is yes he will.

Dem for McCain   September 29th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

They all go to debate boot camp. If they don't, as Obama showed Friday, they should.

KMAN   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

She is simply a shrill and empty skirt.

Dameun Strange   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

If that is the best she can do, I am not worried. Biden doesn't even have to respond…we all saw the 3 interviews.

Steve, Madison WI   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Based on Palin's rambling responses to the few interviews and questions she's taken, her reference to "second grade" seems appropriate.

I can't believe she is still on the ticket. While the "base" still loves her, Independents are running away scared as they contemplate her potentially having her finger on "the button" someday.

She makes Bush look smart and that's scary!

watch out Palin is talking wonder who gave her the ok and who gave her the words to say.

Mercedes   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Gov. Palin,

How old were you when McCain became Senator? Let's not play the stupid game that your running mate is playing. You know, you just might get caught in your lies if it comes back to show that McCain was also a Senator for many, many, many years. Grow up and get a real education and find out more about your country and the rest of the world before opening your mouth. Every time you do that you put your foot in your mouth.

JD   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Do you really think she was listening to senate speeches in the 2nd grade?

Sarah Palin "Ready on Day 1-NOT"   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

What year did Palin complete law school? Oh that's right she didn't go to law school, she went to journalism school. I think it's kind of funny how someone who has a degree in the very thing she does so well at avoiding. You would think being a journalist would give her an upper hand on interviews, but that's definitely NOT been the case thus far.

Democrat 4 Life   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

You are clueless, unintelligent and a pathological liar! Please crawl back to Alaska and even they don't want you. They had the LARGEST anti palin rally this weekend that out did their one a few weeks ago.

Dougals, Los Angeles   September 29th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

She loves her little stump speeches and attacking people. I'm still waiting to hear someting of substance from Gov Palin. She has a good sense of humor, but running the United States of America is no laughing matter.

why will Palin make a comment about Biden's age when McCain is 6 years older than Biden? This just reminds people of McCain's age. Another senseless comment from Palin.

Poetic Justice   September 29th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

The "pit bull' is in need of a muzzle! I am looking forward to the debate too, although I will probably think it is actually a skit from Saturday Night Live every time this woefully unqualified woman opens her mouth.

Stacy from Loudoun County, VA   September 29th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Sarah, if you are lucky, he’ll sign an autograph for you and everything. Then, your field trip to the lower 48 will be complete and we can send you packing back to Alaska so that you can tell everyone there of your great adventure here.

Seriously, you had better hit the books and hit them hard, Mr. Biden is well steeped in knowledge and you will be made to answer for your arrogance on the campaign trail and at the convention.

RM   September 29th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Was she making a cheap shot about Biden's age and length of time in the senate? She may as well attack McCain for the same reason. If that is the best she has to offer, Thursday will be a sad sad day for her.

"I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in like second grade."

Too bad she never learned anything from them. She brings no substance to the ticket at all.

One more thing…will someone please tell me what clean coal is? I thought there is no such thing….and if we have so much coal reserves, does this mean Palin wants to make the country from W. VA to Wyoming one big coal strip mine? Does anyone think this woman is running on all thrusters?

Lisa   September 29th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

She needs to stop with the sniddy remarks and get ready for this debate. I hope Joe doesn't back down to this woman. I can't stand her smug tone.

It doesn't seem to be the smartest thing to make age an issue when you are on the same ticket as the crypt keeper.

Alma   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

She got her nerve when she mentioned about when she first heard of Biden, McCain has been in Washington just as long as Biden.
I admire Mrs. Obama, she decided to help her husband in the campaign when she knew for sure that her mother would take care of her girls, Palin is dragging her kids all over the place, to show what? that she is a caring mom? Palin, please leave your kids in Alaska, so they won't miss school… and save the taxpayers some money. Are we paying for all her traveling and lodging expenses?

Beth   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Sarah, why don't you take a look at Sweden (like Biden and Obama)—they use NO COAL, NO FOSSIL FUELS, they recycle everything (including recycling their own bodily fluids)! There will be plenty of SAFER and ECO-FRIENDLY jobs for Ohioans if we use Sweden's model…..oh but I forgot, Sarah probably thinks the Swedish are the "bad guys"!

JT   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Brilliant Palin.. go for his age.

Ignore the fact that McCain is older, and is running on a mantle of experience.

Actually, just go ahead and say that Biden is older. You've lied your way this far.. what's a few more?

To the moon   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Like, ok, it is a JOKE, but while living in AK, I am pretty sure she never heard about Joe Biden's speeches she was in 2nd grade. Why say things that just aren't true?

Redrocketnet   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

And she talks like she's still, like, in second grade.

The thought of this woman in power is terrifying…to say the least!

Niel McDowell   September 29th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Amazing…while McCain, whose VP running mate is patently unready for the national stage, attacks Obama for lack of experience…said VP candidate, the running mate of more than SEVENTY YEAR OLD presidential candidate, makes fun of Biden for being…wait for it…too old!!

This truly is bizarro world politics.

I am so sick of Palin. All she does is take pop-shots, then disappear for a few days. She failed miserable every interview she has given. She had contradicted her own running mate. Her Alaskan town she was mayor of is millions in debt. I am dumbfounded that she is still on the ticket.

She really wants to go after Biden on his age and experience in Congress…I thought that was what her running mate was running on. Does this lady even have a clue as to what the heck she is saying? How can the exact same strengths of one candidate be the weaknesses of another?

CNN and John King stop reporting that McCain suspended his ads and campaign. I for one saw several McCain ads throughout the "72 hour period" his campaign was supposed to be suspended. Some of the ads were on CNN.

She goes after Biden's age and length of time in the Senate, but is completely ignorant to McCain's age and length of service.

She may ahve been in 2nd grade when Biden went into the Sente, but she wasn't even born when McCain began.

This fool boggles the mind. I cannot wait for Biden to tear her apart on Thursday.

John, Austin, TX   September 29th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

If Barack Obama had said the exact same thing about McCain, Barack would have been cast as an impudent young black guy.

By the way, if Barack had a 17-year old pregnant daughter, imagine what people would say about how that symbolizes the social ills of black people.

How hypocritical is that thought process? If any one with any common sense heard the Couric/Palin interview, adn still belieive she is qualified, then you are just as intellectually challanged as Palin.

Age shouldn't be an issue, Palin is almost equal to Obama in age and McCain is almost equal to Biden, so let them cancel each other out and leave it at that.

I don't care if Ms. Fluff is a woman, if she wants the V.P. part of the ticket she should expect everything that comes her way as if she was a man.

Anyone who thinks Biden should be walking on egg shell around Ms. Palin needs to rethink if they are competent enough to cast a vote this year.

She's probably also been hearing about his senate speeches when it took her six years and four different colleges to get a lousy journalism degree.

Her selection by John McCain is more reckless than when George W. Bush nominated Harriett Miers for the Supreme Court.

35 Southbound   September 29th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

If she is going to do that then does that mean that Biden can play with out the kiddie gloves? Or will the McCain camp be shouting sexism?

Brian   September 29th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

If she thinks it's a good idea to point out that he's been staring down dictators since she was in second grade, well that's just hilarious and it makes her look naive, confused and terribly mistaken in regard to what the American people really care about. Experience matters, but judgment does too. McCain has experience without judgment. Obama has judgment without much experience. Biden has both. Palin has neither.

Logically, picking Obama with his good judgment and Biden with his good judgment and experience is much better than picking McCain with his bad judgment and Palin with her bad judgment and complete lack of experience.

Biden just needs to keep the debate on the issues and she will look so confused and stammering that he'll win by default.

Linda31   September 29th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

theres something a little odd about hearing someone from the mccain campaign make fun of biden for his age….

Debby   September 29th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Good for her and, though the so called Biden is experienced he has made more Gaffe's and wrong votes in the years than most other Senators. This is why he got so few votes for his Presidential bid because of bad voting record and Gaffe's.

ujw, ny   September 29th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Seems a risky tactic to criticize Biden's age – it merely draws attention to McCain's.

Rob in vegas   September 29th, 2008 2:05 pm ET
