Vice-Presidential Debate

The vice-presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden is today.

And though Palin has been doing terribly in interviews with the press, I'm not sure she's gonna bomb as badly tonight.  She's been in 'debate camp' the last few days so you can be sure she's got all her answers memorized.  They might as well give her a teleprompter or an earwig.

On top of that, the format is perfect for memorized sound-bites.  90 second responses to the questions and 2 minute discussions.  Sounds like a feeble debate to me.

Anyway, I'm going to be watching with interest.  I wonder if Biden is going to make one of his trademark gaffes?

Do you guys remember Vice-President Dan Quayle?  Dan Quayle was, almost, derided as much as Palin is now.  He, infamously, corrected a student's spelling of 'potato' by asking him to put an 'e' at the end.

And here is a clip from the 1988 VP debate when he compared himself to Jack Kennedy.

Sarah Palin, you're no Hillary Clinton!
