Tom's relatively light touch on that one was well done.

I'm glad that Gwen Ifill is the moderator - she should shine in this 
setting.

As for how Palin does, I dunno.  Expectations are so low now, and she 
did a reasonably good job in the Alaska gubernatorial debates, so I'm 
sure her supporters will find a way be pleased.  (I'm sure they've 
already got the talking points and bumper stickers on the way to the 
printers.)  If she does have a gaffe, there will be many supporters 
who'll claim that Biden was mean or that it was another instance of 
"gotcha journalism" or whatever.

In the end, I don't think it'll be a seismic event in the campaign, just 
another few bits of straw on McCain's back...

But we'll see.

Cheers,
Scott.
