Noted and edited. Thanks, for some reason I though it was Thursday. D'oh!

I will bet heavily that Palin uses the "Don't patronize me!" line -- same as Geraldine Ferraro in the 1984 debates against George Bush Sr.

I plan to watch for it.

What will be ironic, McCain was incredibly patronizing to Obama during the last debate. But it will be Palin who will call Biden on it -- probably without any merit.

I guess we will have to see, but that is my firm prediction.

I think Bill Maher said it best, "Sarah the Pit Bull, meet Joey the Shark!"

Actually, I thought it was Thursday when I started it. Had a severe blond moment! And I don't really care about the points. Don't really have any use for them, and it's certainly not why I'm here.

Biden really doesnt have to do very much in these debates. The mod will ask questions and all he has to do is answer without attacking Palin directly. If anyone has watched the Palin interviews, you will know that, she will without a doubt be stumped on many occasions. She will resort to very vague answers and skirt questions. Her response in the Couric interview on which magazines she has read was priceless. SNL is struggling to write anything that is funnier than what Palin is actually saying in these interviews. This is one instance where the parody is less funny than what it is parodying.

Biden has been known to say some foolish things but they are more attuned to him making an inappropriate comment as opposed to not having the education or knowledge to provide a well thought out response. He has a tendency to make a stupid/inappropriate comment if given too much time to talk about it.

Time limits for questions will save him. Palin has had a really tough time giving a staged/structured/edited interview, I just dont know what to expect in a live venue.

And if you've read news stories about Sarah Palin you would know that she did quite well in the Alaska debates against her opponents. She's not stupid and I have a STRONG suspicion that these interviews she's been doing have been just a show on her part to make herself look dumbed down so Biden will come into the debate overconfident.

You know what happens to a football team that comes into a game overconfident that they'll win.

Personally I think she'll start off with short, neat answers to the questions and then get more in depth and hold her own as Biden realizes that she isn't fumbling the ball and he will become more flustered. Then she'll lay waste to him, casually needling him, hoping to get him to make some stupid remark like he has a history of doing.

If that happens, there will be a second Palin confidence revival.
