The goal right now is to start putting up some actual content on this blog, on a daily basis.
Right now, my main concerns are around Sarah Palin. I know she is a complete train wreck, but I know that the expectations are so low that even if she gives a few choice lines, she will be seen as somehow eligible for the presidency of the United States.
This is what will happen: the VP debate is so sanitized, and all of the conservatives are so up in arms by Gwen Ifill moderating it, that anything resembling aptitude will result in a Sarah Palin victory.
Biden is also a train wreck, and if it wasn’t for Palin, all eyes would be on his blunders. But since nobody is paying attention to him, any error he makes will be amplified.
Sarah Palin’s greatest gift in regard to this debate was low expectations. Thursday, we will see the forces come out claiming Palin won the debate because she had enough canned lines to bring it home.
But the mark is McCain. I hope Biden keeps his eye on the ball.
