Just....stop Sarah

From Ben Smith at Politico, Sarah Palin on why she's better than Joe Biden
He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.
Sarah, bit of advice here. If you're trying to make the case for why you are better than Joe Biden, don't make the exact same one that Barack Obama is, so far, successfully making about John McCain. Don't make the exact opposite argument the old man at the top of the ticket is making. Say he's got the wrong ideas or he'll kidnap your children and ransom them for crystal meth, but don't hammer the 'new person is better than the old senator' line. It's just going to make people go "Yeah, that's why I'd rather have Obama."

Not that it even matters at this point. Your only chance is to free fall so far to the bottom that you end up at the top again, perhaps out of sheer pity. But after you come back from the 4th campaign suspension and an interview where you claim the wok you bought makes you an expert on China, it's something to remember.
