Palin is about to take the exam without having taken the class. Whoever first said it has the situation about right.

Since she knows jack compared to Biden or really any legitimate candidate for national office, I predict she throws the folksy into overdrive - droppin' g's, usin' oddball expressions, makin' analogies to ice hockey and huntin'. She's going for the I'd-like-to-have-a-beer-with-her thing that worked for George W.
