| | Palin explains comment about Biden's age
Alaska Governor and McCain running mate Sarah Palin told CBS' Katie Couric in an interview scheduled to air tonight that she wasn't taking a jab at Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, her opponent, when bringing up the years he's spent in the Senate. "I'm looking forward to meeting him," Palin told a welcoming audience. "I've never met him before, but I've been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade."
"When you have a 72-year-old running mate," Couric asked, "is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden's been around a while?"
Biden, Palin told Couric, has the "years of experience" in the Senate, while she is the "new energy; the new face; the new ideas."
