  1. When you can’t tell the difference between Politics and SNL:

    “I have to admit, though, he’s a great debater, and he looks pretty doggone confident, like he’s sure he’s going to win,’’ Ms. Palin, 44, said of Mr. Biden, 65. “But then again, this is the same Senator Biden who said the other day that University of Delaware would trounce the Ohio State Buckeyes. Wrong!”

  2. oh, hey, and here’s one for the Maverick Watch:

    On Palin: “She’s a bit of a maverick herself,” McCain told the rally in Columbus, Ohio.

    damn, we’ve got another one mavericking around on us now..!

  3. What else is supposed to say? “I’m so terrified of the debate I peed myself”? Of course she said she’s looking forward to it…

    …like I’d look forward to a root canal.

  4. Gosh! Seems like it’s all over but the shoutin’!

    Personally I’m waiting for the part where Mr Biden claims to have a higher IQ than her, goes on to talk about having graduated near the top of his class at Syracuse, and finishes up by saying he’s always supported a united Iraq.

  5. She’ll do fine for the people who like her: She’ll make some idiotic folksy observations. She’ll squeeze in some sort of reference to Jesus, she’ll avoid answering questions – they’ll love it. She’s just like them.

  6. No. The worst part is that she’ll stand up straight, speak with charisma and confidence, land a few zingers on Biden, and the rest of the stuff that makes no sense will SOUND wonkish and therefore impress a bunch of idiots who don’t believe women know how to articulate anything. Grrrrrrrr……

  7. Since expectations for Palin’s performance couldn’t possibly get any lower, her merely showing up and not accidentally skewering herself on the microphone will be seen as a win.

    Biden, on the other hand, can’t possibly win. If he goes after her, he’s a big meanie… If he lays off of her, he’s a big wuss… If he shows that he’s smarter than her, well duh… If he tries to hide that he’s smarter than she is, he lets her look like she’s holding her ground.

    And trust me, no one…I do mean no one…will have their minds changed, no matter what either of them says.
