<p>Really.</p>
<p>Everyone's worried that no matter what Biden says on Thursday,
Republicans will cry '<em>sexism</em>'. Well <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2008/07/the_chicken_the_egg_the_woman.php">I'm
a woman too</a>. <em>So why not? </em> No I'm not on any ticket, but
consider: I've got more <a
href="http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/blogs/skirshenbaum.html">experience
in Washington</a> than <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2008/09/sarah_palin_does_not_speak_for.php">the
governor</a> and arguably better ideas on <a
href="http://sciencedebate2008.com/vote/?p=61">energy</a>, <a

policy</a>, the <a

and <a

homeland security</a>.</p>

<p><em>Please oh please?</em> </p>
<p>There's more... Sarah's <a

so into</a>
natural history, I worked at the Museum of Natural History. She was
mayor of a small northern town, and I lived in Old Town, Maine. She
supports oil drilling, <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2008/07/offshore_oil_drilling_a_terrib.php">I
don't</a>. I'm pro-choice, Sarah's not. I've had my <a
href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2008/09/sarah-palin-tel.html">passport
longer</a> and you bet <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2007/10/ending_the_war_on_science.php">I
love our troops</a> and <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2008/09/catch_a_piece_of_maine_with_sh.php">the
fishing industry</a> too. She did the sports anchor thing, I did pop
radio. She played basketball and went by '<em>barracuda</em>' and I
played soccer and have a strong affinity for <a
href="http://scienceblogs.com/intersection/2007/10/sea_cucumbers_stem_cells_of_th.php">sea
cucumbers</a>. Fuzzy logic, you say? Americans love <a
href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F01E2DF143CF935A35753C1A9669C8B63">fuzzy
logic</a> on the campaign trail. </p>
<p>But seriously folks, you want a real debate? I'll give America one...<em>old
school</em>. None of this Jim Lehrer '<em>conversation</em>' where we
never make eye contact and spend two hours talking past each other.
It's not a cordial tea party, they're called <em><strong>debates</strong></em>
for a reason.</p>
<p>Because I've got some real serious questions for the individual who
might one day be president. Someone's got to step up and make it clear
that we're not going to settle for sound bytes on script while
tiptoeing around issues that matter. This is the United States and it's
our duty as citizens of this great nation to demand better.</p>
<p><strong>Please let me debate Governor Palin.</strong></p>
