Aides Promise an Aggressive Palin in VP Debate

GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin plans to launch aggressive attacks against her Democratic opponent Joe Biden tomorrow night, her campaign aides said, in order to remind voters of why she became popular in her home state of Alaska.

"Governor Palin is eager for the opportunity to contrast her record of reform to the hollow rhetoric of a politician who has spent the bulk of his adult life inside the confines of Washington, D.C.," said Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. "Tomorrow night will address a critical question; which is more relevant to the office of the vice-presidency -- real-life results or Washington double-speak?"

Palin has spent the last two days preparing at John McCain's ranch complex in Sedona, Ariz., debating from an outdoor podium against McCain's senior foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann, who is playing Biden.
