Governor Palin is the model of a Nomad archetype generation [Strauss and Howe, 'The Fourth Turning'].

She is a tough GenXer.

She will treat Senator Biden (an Artist archetype) with respect till he proves he does not warrant that honor.

Senator Biden will oblige that adjustment soon. I do not think the Senatorial Blowhard Clown will wait for the VP debate to lob some dumb 70mph ‘fastball’ at her. Maybe some dumb comment on her ability to lead, her ability to handle foreign affairs, her track record. Senator Biden would be wise to think it through. He has never led, never signed a treaty, never stood alone on a decision.

Then, Governor Palin will destroy him – and he will be dumbfounded. We are talking about a ‘Where’s the Beef’ moment. A Dukakis in a helmet. A Kerry in a Bunny Suit.

This is going to be a great debate. There will be no decorum after Biden tries some legalistic stupidity.
