The debate will be a major test of just one thing for Biden: his restraint (that's why he could lose it). Otherwise, it's a test of her ability to know ANYTHING and articulate it clearly (and that's why she will lose it).

yeah, good for Couric for pointing out it was a voter. Pretty aggressive for her. Palin's schtick is obvious now, it's one talking point after another without saying anything. She knows how to 'play' politics at the local level and that is where the Sarah barracuda crap comes in... it may be, and I think it probably is, that she is one of those incredibly devious people who climbs right over others to get ahead. And get ahead she has, to the point of being the laughing stock of the whole nation. If she wins she'll be the laughing stock of the whole world. Leave it to the rethugs to pick a woman whose only true competency is reinforcing gender stereotypes. Sigh...

Can someone explain the joke to me? Does "Gotcha Journalism" really sound like the name of a pizza place? Did McCain screw up the joke, and was actually supposed to deliver that line in response to a different keyword? Does "Gotcha" really sound like an Italian name to McCain? Or was he reacting to the mention of President "Zidari"?
I love how Palin repeats the words silently, "pizza place," obviously not understanding the joke either.

This explains it: McCain "... chalked up Palin's comments - which took place in conversation with a grad student at a Philadelphia restaurant -- as a 'gotcha sound bite.' "Is that a pizza place?" McCain asked with incredulity (Tony Luke's actually is a roast beef and roast pork joint, but they do serve pizza steaks)"
ah, thanks. what I heard as "is that a pizza place" was actually "it was at a pizza place?" I don't think Palin heard him right either; she looks like I look when I've stopped understanding what someone's saying but want to be polite.

Let me get this straight. Her (new) position is to ask the new president of Pakistan (a country that was recently attacked by terrorists) to make sure the terrorists don't cross the border to leave Pakistan??
Earlier today, the Palin handlers said that "Sarah Barracuda" really showed up for todays CBS interview. I guess they were impressed by this.

I think this is 'big fish in small pond' syndrome. Competency in Alaska is apparently a bit more generously rated than competency elsewhere. I would just like to have a president that is not an embarassment. These two disgust me and you can really see the rage swimming under McCain's surface.
