Katie Couric asks Joe Biden and Sarah Palin the same question on the Supreme Court. I offer this video with no comment. You decide what this means for you.

I will say this: she spoke well on Roe v. Wade, because it’s something she knows and cares about. The problem here is that she knows very little about national politics, and more importantly, she’s not invested in it, which is my primary issue with her candidacy in general. She’s never cared about it before, she’s having to play a serious game of catch-up now, and there is no way she can compete with people who have had their eyes on Washington for 10, 20, or 30 years. My question is, why would someone who has cared so little in the past be so interested in the position now? To me, that’s the kicker.
