Amie Parnes, with the Republicans in Columbus, Ohio, reports that Palin told the crowd she looks forward to debating Biden on Thursday.

“I’m gonna talk about those new ideas,” she said.

Once again, she tried to lower expectations and repeats, “I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was like in the second grade.”

And added that Biden is a “great debater and looks pretty doggone confident, like he’s gonna win.”

Palin spoke briefly about the McCain-Obama debate on Friday saying McCain was “the only man on that stage that talked about the wars that America is fighting and wasn’t afraid to use the word 'victory.'

“He’s the only man on that stage would solve our economic crisis and not exploit it,” she said.
