analyst kept her home state's delegation laughing at breakfast Wednesday with her conservative defense of vice presidential nominee Sarah PalinThis is a woman the only one of the four on the ticket who has chief executive experienceConway saidShe compared John McCain's vice presidential choice with that of Democratic nominee Barack Obama's pick of Sen Joe Biden of Delaware whom she called an insufferable gas bagI like Joe Biden I grew up in South Jersey He's the third senator of New Jersey He's the third senator of PennsylvaniaConway said I think the people of Delaware are surprised he's not the third senator thereConway questioned the strategy behind choosing Biden given he garnered about 9000 votes in the Democratic presidential primary season compared with the 18 million who voted for Sen Hillary ClintonSomeone obviously lost their abacus and their mindConway saidThe Republican pollster dismissed the ongoing investigation into whether the Alaska governor tried to get her former brotherinlaw fired from the state police as just a piece of red meatAnd she said the coverage Palin's family is getting is unfair especially the knock that the mother of five won't have time for family and high office Conway said since Palin doesn't play golf or mess around outside her marriage she'd have more time than many male politiciansThe voters found out way too late how Eliot Spitzer was spending his timeConway said referring to the former New York governor who quit amid a sex scandal Sarah Palin's time commitments are right in front of us They have names and faces She's making sandwiches not troubleShe also said no national politician's child has endured the coverage that Palin's 17yearold pregnant daughter Bristol is gettingMy message to anyone covering the Palin family: Lay off the kidConway said to the largest applause of the morningConway said Palin will draw women voters and that Obama's candidacy of change is overrated because those who tell pollsters they want

she'd give to the hapless New Jersey GOP which hasn't celebrated a November statewide victory since 1997 Conway said Republicans should stop running moderate candidates who are just a little bit
