After the VP Debate (10/2) will Republican pundits find a reason to call Joe Biden a sexist?
Settled as No
While the Democrats have kind in saying that Palin represents a formidable opponent in debate for Joe Biden, can she really stand toe-to-toe with a Senator with 35 years of experience debating on the Senate floor? Will Republicans defend Palin by accusing Joe Biden of being sexist?
Settlement details:
As reported by "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos.

I agree with dieseldog that however Joe Biden treats Sarah Palin, SOMEBODY is going to scream sexist and we can't presume that the comment is fair or justified. I'm not going to participate in this question either "as it stands now". Considering Joe Biden's fine reputation for ethics, the starting odds are WAY OFF, unless we EXPECT irrational accusations from someone who is a Republican Pundit. In other words, as it is set up now, this question is not about Joe Biden or Sarah Palin at all: it is about unpredictable and possibly irrational comments from either party. IMHO, this is not "fair game"...

So....If George doesn't report anything on the Sunday following the debate, we still wait until October 2009 to settle...'cause he might make a comment about it next summer. Heck, what if George isn't still the host of "This Week" next October? A void, I guess.
