Who will win the VP debate?

[J. J.]

Biden would seem to have the advantage, unless he does/says something foolish...which there is at least a decent chance of occurring.

Everyone expects Palin to perform worse than Dan Quayle,  If she beats expectations, she wins.

It will be like Gore-Bush and Kerry-Bush.  Any of the debates.

Biden will actually win on content and substance.

Palin will be perceived as having won because people would want to have a beer with her. 

Bingo.  So long as there isn't a Dan Quayle moment, it's at least a tie.

I agree and all these crappy interviews make it seem like Biden OUGHT to destroy her.  When he doesn't, it's a win for Palin.

To paraphase Londo Molari, Reality has nothing to do with politics.

There is one thing that she could be very successful at, connecting with the public.

Palin handily beat expectations.  I think at points, she connected with the public.  She won.
