The format was chosen to favor Palin. She will give some sound-bites in her canned answers, and will try to avoid any real debate. Even if somehow she "wins" it, McCain is still in deep sh**t.

Should we think of a drinking game?

a shot for every time Palin mentions 'small town(s)'
a shot every time Biden mentions Bush

I really don't know whats going to happen. Like everyone else has said, Palin might be declared the winner just for showing up and having a pulse since her expectations have been set extremely low.

Who knows though...

Apparently Palin is suppost to be aggressive tonight...and is suppost to hit Biden on "foreign policy gaffes" and "liberal views on taxes" or whatever. I really can't see her being kinda....aggressive I guess.

Her last opponent in AK says she's fiesty.  On subjects she has confidence in (and that is key) she'll be in Biden's face.......on one's she's iffy on.....she'll be quiet and reserved.

I'll betcha your favorite beverage on that.  Wink

I guess that makes sense. But does she really want to bring up foreign policy gaffes...? Tongue

Get ready for the headlines from the usual suspects like Fox News and the NY Post.

"The Comeback Kid"

"She's Back!"

A drink every time Palin mentions being a mother.  Biden-Bush is good though.

I look forward to watching the debate later.  Unfortunately, I'm going to miss most of the original broadcast.  Sad
