This Can't Be Their Strategy, Right?

Politico:

Sarah Palin plans to go on the attack in tonight’s debate, hitting Joe Biden for what she will call his foreign policy blunders... according to campaign officials involved in prepping her for tonight’s showdown.

If this is true it's straight up stupid. At best Palin will come across as a foreign policy poseur. At worst she risks getting into a detailed debate about foreign policy with Joe Biden -- a debate she cannot win. Attacking Biden on foreign policy is a death sentence for Palin. The only way it could work in her favor is if he puts his foot in his mouth, but he's likely to do that no matter the subject. In the meantime she'll look ridiculous.
