Winning Palin Bingo / Biden Bingo Cards for VP Debate

With the latest political meme being Biden and Palin Bingo and VP drinking games, are we taking the election seriously? Yes and no, and who can begrudge people for a bit of stress relief. Tonight is one of the most anticipated vice presidential debates in history, between two interesting, yet foot-in-mouth prone, personalities. As such, many hangover-conscious, presumably decided, voters have opted for Palin bingo cards rather than hard liquor games. Interestingly, Biden bingo cards have been more scant, but don't despair. You can find or make winning cards to use when both Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin show the world what they do, and do not, know.

What is the purpose of Palin and Biden Bingo?

The hope is to score with cards that contain the most oft predicted gaffs, propaganda, talking points or puzzling statements. If you've watched Tina Fey impersonate Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live (SNL) or developed jaw muscle cramps during the Katie Couric Palin interviews, "newspaper" names, "Russia from my house" and Supreme Court rulings may seem apropos.

However, if you want to win at Sarah Palin bingo, it might be best to raise the bar a bit. Put simply she's no dummy, even if she plays one on TV. Worldly-wise Biden, with his many years of experience on Palin, readily fumbles. Though most performance bets are on Biden, for good reason, it's anyone's guess how these vice presidential candidates will perform.

Finding Palin Bingo and Biden Bingo Cards

Sarah Palin Bingo cards are available at palinbingo.com and include both premade cards as well as a DIY version. Given that the goal is to predict what Sarah Palin will say, you might be tempted to visit the website, ThingsPalinCanName.com, which is low on world knowledge but high on community and barbs, including taxidermist listings in Alaska.

Joe Biden Bingo cards are a bit difficult to find, and one reason is that few know what Joe will say, including his handlers. From claiming he watched FDR on TV in 1929 to saying that Hillary Clinton would be a better VP pick, the best word to use on a Biden bingo card may be "huh?" Whenever you feel like a 747 jetted 1000 ft. over your house, grab the dauber.
