The Big Debate is only about 15 minutes away!

If I had to judge from these interviews I would say that Palin is doomed. But I saw some clips of her in other debates when she ran for Governor, and she seemed to do very well. So who knows? Maybe a debate is a better format for her?

I honestly don't know what to expect at all. It is possible she will just stammer in circles the whole time, or she might come out swinging. And Biden is very knowledgable, but he is a gaffe bomb that could go off unexpectedly at any second. He might eat her alive, or he might shove his own foot so far down his own throat that he spends the whole 90 minutes choking and gurgling.

This could be very exciting, or they could both be so cautious that it turns into a total snooze fest.

After the debate, we'll need a new thread to talk about it.

Does anyone have a proposed smoking game? My game for the last debate with a hit for every time McCain said "my friends" was a total bust. He only said it once! What is it McCain? Aren't we still friends?
