I love that the VP debate is a thousand times more anticipated and poplular than the 3 presidential debates put together.

I am missing the VP debate. I hope to keep up via twitter, and to get the recap on SNL on Saturday.

OMG, last night's Daily Show bit on the debate was HYSTERICAL!

Agree!
Disagree!
They're fair and balanced!

Now THAT'S a focus group!

I think that lady mustv'e got the sh!t beat out of her in the parking lot after that session. (Or maybe she was gummed to death.)

Regarding tomorrow's debate, I think Palin's going to do okay.
Everyone's expectations are really, really low right now. I think she'll hold her own and be perceived as the victor. (If there really is such a thing as someone winning these debates. Like it was said before, I don't think they'll have much impact on the election's outcome.)

Fox News: it's fair and balanced.

A lot of people I know are planning VP debate parties, somewhat on the assumption that she'll provide comedy like her Couric interview.

I don't see this happening. Now, I don't necessarily see her doing well, but she'll be sufficiently prepped that I don't expect meandering meaningless answers like she gave Couric.

Instead she'll have prepared statements and will use them regardless of question. So she may still look bad for not answering questions but it won't be the same kind of bad as the Couric interview.
