If Sarah Palin flails in any way close to how badly she flailed during the Katie Couric interviews, tonight is going to be one serioulsy entertaining night. Yes, it's finally here - the night when Sarah Palin will be pinned behind a podium to face-off against Joe Biden on real issues rather than her "I'm a hockey mom so I represent you" generalizations.

The 90-minute debate will air on PBS and all the major networks. If you have plans tonight and your TIVO is out of comission, it will be replayed by CNN on Friday morning at 9 a.m. It can also be viewed live at www.mydebates.org.

As Haliq News eloquently put it: "Palin’s awkward silences, inability to answer simple questions with specificity and tendency to dodge inquiries with folksy, tail-chasing palaver — strikingly reminiscent of President George W. Bush’s well-known verbal floundering, and captured artfully by Tina Fey — have become the stuff of pop culture. If Biden can manage to just leave her alone, it would seem that Palin has plenty of rope and knows how to tie her own knots."

    You answered that I have already said that on my
    post comment. that was the first time I had ever
    made a coment to you.

    It looks to me like this is a liberal poll and is
    as unfair as all of your polls…is why we do not
    get true poll results. However, you cannot
    control the voters no matter how much you try….
