A few people have e-mailed to say that the livestream in Ed’s open thread complicates comment discussion by slowing refresh times, so here’s a no-frills alternative. Take your pick.
While we wait for the main event, “enjoy” the last installment in her series with Couric. They saved a doozy for the finale.
Game face!

LMAO the Strategy Room had a hoot over that one. “The Klingons and the Bosniaks.”
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:03 PM
It’s a debate; the last thing he wanted was to answer a lot of questions.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:03 PM
…does somebody out there wanna tell me what the Leftist fascination is with Darfur?
OK, Darfur, bad deal…but, the Left hates and tries daily to wreck efforts in Iraq, as they tried early on in Afganistan (which they’re in love with now)…but they want to charge into Darfur….
…makes no sense to me….
Puritan1648 on October 2, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Against genocide in Darfur but not Iraq, that’s Biden for ya

“you were for it before you were against it…”
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Is there an airforce in Darfur that we need to institute a no fly zone to ground them? I wasn’t aware of that.
MarkABinVA on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
GRAND SALAMI HR BY SARAH
I don’t nderstand how you guys operate here in Washington!!!

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Damn, she’s whipping him on his record w/ McCain and against Obama.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Palin is running the fucking show.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM

DITTO…UM MEGA DITTO…..:)
dec5 on October 2, 2008 at 10:04 PM
She just kicked him in the balls on national TV. And he has to wait for the rest of her answer.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Biden blind-sided again.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I wanna see Sarah take on BHO…now that would be some kind of fun…
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I love her calling him out on voting for something, then acting like it’s been the biggest disaster in world history…connecting it with her Washington outsider theme.
God, I love this woman.
capitalist piglet on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
she hit this answer out of the park
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Is her answer even remotely on point?
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Indeed!!
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Kicking.His.Ass.
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
No matter what happens from here on out she’s the Republican front runner in 2012.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
CHRIST Hit him on Serbia! THeyve been fighting for thousands of years and no one said we could get peace there? That friggin IRAQ.
Dammit get him
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
I agree that we should all agree on Darfur. It should also be part of the war on terror. It’s those Muslim extremists there too, killing Christians.
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
WOW. Now SHE has a personal interest in Darfur.
Great point, Gov. Palin.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
CHRIST Hit him on Serbia! THeyve been fighting for thousands of years and no one said we could get peace there? That friggin IRAQ.

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Sarah is just awesome.
comeon joe, this newbie is cleaning your clock!
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
He’s gonna come out of this with a huge super secret crush on Palin.
surrounded on October 2, 2008 at 10:05 PM
That’s it, I want Palin to do the next two debates with Obama. McCain can stay home.
ErinF on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
his answers are losing me. He is rambling.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
They have a few old Russian bombers
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
lol, ok joe, it’s ok to invade in europe and elsewhere but not saddam’s terror regime…www.regimeofterror.com
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Go to joebiden.com – LOL
capitalist piglet on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Biden is defending concepts of the “Bush Doctrine” better than Sarah, or even Bush, could have ever done.
yo on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Shat flock, she could have buried Obaco on the spot with Serbia tied in to Iraq.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
The only reason those guys were harping on Afghanistan was for propaganda reasons to try to make us take the eye off of the crisis in Iraq and make us surrender and lose!
They did the same thing with North Korea to get us off Iran’s back. Remember the libs asking “Why are we not attacking North Korea?” They never wanted to attack North Korea, they just do that to sound strong while undermining the current military mission.
econavenger on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
I watched the debate for an hour and just now turned it off when the louse Joe Biden claimed his greatness for advocating intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo (congratulations genius) but apparently voted for war in Iraq because he only wanted more sanctions or something (liar!)
aengus on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Obama is trying to get in touch with Hillary.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Bob Dole. Bob Dole. Bob Dole!!
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
How come I use the word, “ass” and I get moderated?!
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
GO SARAH GO!
She is looks so much more informed than Biden.
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Biden is losing me. I’m wondering if the “average” listener is falling asleep as he drones?
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
I wonder if he secured joerobinettebiden.com too.
capitalist piglet on October 2, 2008 at 10:06 PM
She’s calling him a liar.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
PALIN/MCCAIN ‘08
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
A**. Proper form.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
He knows what evil is
Awesome
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Cant get near a TV.
Is Palin really doing that well??????????????
More importantly has Biden yelled anything like “GET THESE SQUIRRELS OFF ME!!!!!!!!” yet?
Chuck Schick on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Lol. She just said the pundits are going to prove Biden a liar in the am. Ouch.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
stop repeating lines from the convention speech already.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
She is awesome!!
CinnamongirlUF on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
I knew she would redeem herself!
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Take the politics out of the war issue. ZING!
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
here comes the death questions.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
McCain has gotta be a happy, happy man right about now…
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
i agree iFill is doing pretty good and fair
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
I was deeply concerned that tonight would be the end of Palinmania.
But I think its the Bosniaks who are getting clobbered.
Much better night than I dared hope.
JudetheFossil on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
gah! biden administration! yes god forbid joe.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Listen to the commanders? What a concept! Take politics out of wars? Huh? :-)
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:07 PM
“at least you have in the past”
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Good Question..bad opening from Ole Joe
lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM

Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
OMG…Ifill just zinged Biden…lol. “At least you have in the past”
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM

1GooDDaDDy on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
“Heartbeat away” is pure Gwen Ifill bias.
Cha ching!! Get that book money baby!
econavenger on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
biden/obama love to self-promote.
but obama does smoke.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Well none of us seem to have our heads drowned in whiskey, so yeah, I’d say she’s doing okay. But then again, Hotair.com isn’t exactly an impartial place to look.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Talk about a grumpy old man; He’s only got 22 minutes to get his act together!
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
big grin. I am tempted to gloat on HA for a few days!
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Our allies were all on the take from saddam, you moron.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Most important election since 1932!
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Cars that run on water, no we need to conserve that. How about air? Well, as long as it’s not CO2.
1932? Were there TVs then???
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
LIAR
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
most important election since 1932? and we’re to vote for a tool w/zero experience? get bent joe.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Uh-Oh, he’s starting to do the Bill Clinton imitation.
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
You guys realize she probably won, easily, the Foreign Policy segment against Biden????
jp on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
1932 – when we all watched Abe Lincoln on YouTube!!!
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Say if McCain dies. Say I’ll drill the hell out of Anwar.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
It is the most important election. Don’t end American exceptionalism with Obama.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
1932…when Roosevelt did his fireside chats on HBO
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Oh the heartbeat away question. Total crap from Ifill.
MarcusBrody on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Nail his ass on intervention/ he just said he’d put boots on the ground in Darfur….ask him how that’s different than Iraq
Tim Zank on October 2, 2008 at 10:09 PM
