The Governor also met separately with Vice President–elect Biden and senior staffers to President-elect Obama.

This must be the conversation with Biden that she was talking about in the quote from the ADN above. There wasn’t time to have talked about all that during the grip and grin at the beginning of the meeting. The press release from her office isn’t clear on whether this was a private meeting with Biden, or if there were other governors present. The impression that I got from both her quote above and from the press release is that it was private, but it doesn’t explicitly say that so there might have been other govs there. Either way, sounds like a little fence mending on both sides (smart move on Obama’s part to have Biden take the lead on that), and it’s good thing for Palin to have a good working relationship with the administration. Any help she can get from the feds to get the pipeline built, open ANWR, etc. is good for her state and for her.

“It was great, because, you know, he’s got a great sense of humor,” Palin said of the Biden meeting as she was leaving the economic summit at Philadelphia’s historic Congress Hall. “So we got to laugh about a lot of things that we both observed along the trail. He’s very friendly, and we had a great conversation. And I got to talk to him about energy issues, which I always want to talk about.”

I really can see Palin and Biden as buddies. They seem to genuinely like each other, and if they’re buddies that’s a good thing for Alaska and that in turn helps Palin. It’s a nice little circle of love. All together now: awwww.

This is going to be a place that makes windmill parts. Oh, God, help us.

They might as well make pinwheels IMO.

Thanks. That Biden remark gagged me, too.

Did all of the governor participants get a tire gauge as a meeting favor?

Beat me to it right2bright. We did our best to ignore Greasy Joe as much as possible in DE for the last thirty years. Now we get the share the “king of clichés” with the rest of the nation.

Of course Vice-President-elect Biden was conciliatory towards palin… she is God’s gift to the Democratic Party.

You can’t seem to decide from one day to the next, hon.

Did he really say that?!

Oh, and Benny, who the hell do you think T.I., Young Jeezy, and Ludacris attracted at their rally yesterday? I don’t know if you’re a racial minority or not but do you really think Jim Martin is a big hip hop fan if and if not, don’t you feel extremely pandered to?

Not that you actually answer a question any poster poses to you, but what the hell, I’ll give it a try and see if you have anything legit to say for yourself, for once.

We need to raise her profile to make up for the small crowds of mouth-breathers who showed up in Georgia yesterday.

Straying from prepared remarks, Obama said “I’m not going to allow Joe and myself to get infected with Washington-itis.”

Barry has been inoculated long enough to get Washington-itis and he picked a guy for Veep that has a full-blown case.

Nice work.

…Wikipedia tells me that Tantalus, for his sins, was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches…whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches raised from his grasp…whenever he bent down to get a drink, the water receded before he could get any…for eternity….

…likewise, for his sins, Ixion was bound to a burning solar wheel…for all eternity….

…for his sins, Our Joe has been sentenced by Fate to freeze unseen in the shadow of his running-mate…it’ll only seem like eternity….

He’s gonna need it with the two massive egos he’s going to be sandwiched in between.

You’re dreaming if you a democratic congress is going to take on that investigation. Obama serves until 2012, it will be up to the voters to send him back to Chicago.

IF he is prooven to be not qualified, it won’t go to Congress, it will go to the courts… because this is, at that point, a case of treason, as he has usurped the Office of the President. He will NOT be President as he will NOT have taken the Oath of Office Legally.

Constitutional Crises time… can be argued both ways (Congressional Impeachment or not)… but either way will be ugly.
