I’ll be tweeting during the debate. Hopefully I’ll be somewhat witty. If you care to join in - just point your browser here:
I can’t believe how much I’m looking forward to a VP debate. While I’m hoping that Palin falls flat on her lipstic, I think that it will be a lot closer than I want. She knows how to handle herself in a debate - the stakes here are bigger, but she’ll be looking for mistakes, and Biden is prone to them. That said, she also has to be careful - I originally thought she’d just play attack dog, but after the past week, I don’t think that will play. People will want to hear her talk about the issues. I also think that with her past few interviews, she’s set the bar so low, that if she manages to string a couple of coherent sentences together without screwing up, the Republicans might claim victory.
One note: My Phillies are playing tomorrow at 6:07. If it’s played to the tempo of today’s game, it will be over by the time the debate, if not - I’ll be watching two things at once for a few minutes.
Sphere: Related ContentOstensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

I have to work tonight - we have some bigwigs coming for the opening of a film festival - so I have DVR’ed this baby. It’s actually making me tense to think Palin might come off… okay… after “debate camp” and having people fill her head with words and phrases like a frat boy cramming for an exam.
Sarah Six-Pack. Ugh.
