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!

Bahhh! “They didn’t get your joke, either…”

Jaibones on October 2, 2008 at 10:14 PM

She’s using humor to her advantage. Biden has been tied up in a knot. She is definitely winning on demeanor!

Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Gotta love Sahra.. she’s enjoying her self.. Sahra for PRESIDENT in 4 years!!!!!

theeyeman3410 on October 2, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Lame attempt at a joke. Palin you are the best!

jencab on October 2, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Lying!

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Holy cow!!

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

NO UNIVERSAL PREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

I can’t believe the trolls have the stones to even come out tonite

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

No one got the joke… LOL

Jewels on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Biden is an ass.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Man Biden’s in love with her, shes impressed the hell out of me.

Cardiganfox on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

PLEA TO THE MAC CAMPAIGN
Leave her alone, get out of the way, put her out ther, let her do her thing, and take some notes, she can teach mac a thing or two about communicating

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

he’s been bashing McCain, now he wants to use him as a reference?

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Help him govern. Ha!

tickleddragon on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Holy shit 14 pages and I’m only just warming up….

LimeyGeek on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

I think she’s freaking Joe out…

AUINSC on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Because he needs someone to tell him what to do.

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

I have to be honest. She doesn’t have to “win” this. She just has to throw off the image the MSM has painted.

Tommygun on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

sara should point out she’ll do energy policy.

anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

I hear Wasilla Home Depot’s carry ammo …

I’ve been to a number of homes in Alaska. Sadly, bullet holes may actually count as home improvement.

alflauren on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

For awhile there, it looked like Biden wished he was running with Sarah.

Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Biden will be sleeping with him to help with the 3:00 calls.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

GO PALIN! She is on a roll.

jencab on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

She was positive, and had some humor…she won over the audience….he goes negative….advantage Palin!
He chose you because the rest said no!

lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Biden said his record shows that he is some one that gets things done!!!! LOL!!!
Liar! His record is disturbingly lacking…

Dritanian on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Tomorrow’s headline, “Say It Aint So Joe”

repvoter on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Biden is an ass.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:15 PM

Literally. Someone remind me why the Dems chose that animal?

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

It’ll be funny reading the comments on the polls tomorrow.

Guardian on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

get on the chat folks

LimeyGeek on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Every decision Barack makes I’ll be in the room…

No you won’t Joe, you’ll be in the gimp cage in the cellar.

EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Tell the truth, Joe after you change his diapers, you’ll be running this show if Obama wins!

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Bottom line, she’s not an idiot, but Biden is winning.

Tommygun on October 2, 2008 at 10:12 PM

You’re high as a f—ing kite on Obama koolaid. Palin is wiping the floor with him.

Django on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Sarah’s doing great, I knew she would. We’ll see a renewed frenzy of hate against her for it, I’m sure.

4shoes on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

yep, this debate means she is serious candidate in 2012 if they lose

jp on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

I noticed when they shook hands before the debate, she asked if she could call him Joe. I think she was setting up that “Say it ain’t so, Joe” line.

mikeyboss on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

i hate when she says, “john mccain tapped me.” sounds dirty lol.

anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

OK so Con Law is not her strong suit
so what?

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Wipe off the dumb grin, Joe

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Gotta admit that Ifill is doing an excellent job. I honestly didn’t think she would, and I was wrong about that.

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

She’s handling the “What does VP do?” stuff. Parleys it into executive experience nicely.

Tommygun on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

the VP has become more important.

Exec. experince. Good move.

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

I hope somebody strings together all the clips of Biden’s expressions and smirks!

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Guardian on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

I hear ya lol.

Cardiganfox on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

He keeps asmilen’

Over,

1GooDDaDDy on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Cheney ROCKS

Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Palin too 10 mins to warm up, then she has been steadily motoring ever since

She has been biting big chunks out of Biden ever since

LimeyGeek on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

MEAN MACHINE MEAN MACHINE…Sarah is about to slo-mo score that winning TD.

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Joe, watch those hand jestures… your not comfortable…

theeyeman3410 on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Cheney is a badass. And you’re scared to go hunting with him, Joe.

Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

LOL, Cheney’s the most dangerous VP in history

El_Terrible on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

That long executive branch question was another rigged attack by Ifill.

MarcusBrody on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Cheney? Sure if you go hunting with him!

carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Woah! Biden is crazy. Most dangerous? But you’re gonna change that, right Joe?

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Defend Cheney Sarah…

EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Biden should be a comedian.

jencab on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Yes..once she got back to HER talking points…she is in her element…in the last half of this debate, she has been very strong…Joe looking more and more disconnected as it has gone on.

AUINSC on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

She has bloodied him..honestly…

Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Biden sucks … Cheney dangerous? hmmmm … populist puking

Benjamin9 on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

low blow. low blow.

biden wants to be obams’s lap dog.

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

i hate when she says, “john mccain tapped me.” sounds dirty lol.

anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Again, Bob Herbert thinks so too.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

vp breaks ties in the senate joe you penis. so it’s not just executive then.

anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Wow I am astounded – I didn’t know the Libs knew there was a Constitution!

InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Um … was it just me or during the whole foreign policy debate and discussion of Darfur, did Biden lay out the qualifications for invading a country as:

1)Committing genocide
2)Harboring terrorists

Does that How does that not apply to Iraq? Did Biden justify invading Iraq and a ton of other countries, while trying to say we shouldn’t have invading Iraq?

wardrobedoor on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

I noticed when they shook hands before the debate, she asked if she could call him Joe. I think she was setting up that “Say it ain’t so, Joe” line.

mikeyboss on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

Good point.

CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Biased moderator. It’s coming out of her pores.

repvoter on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:17 PM

Yes very fair and likable.

Cardiganfox on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Evil Dick Cheney…. ooooo scarey.

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Joe–wow, Cheney is the most dangerous
nut roots time
the VP’s role is to go for pizza

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

There you go Joe, looking back again

Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Media spin…SHE WAS GOOD, BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH. OBAMA WINS PRESIDENCY.

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Chia Pet sez:

“Dick Cheney is perhaps the most dangerous Vice President in US history”

Del Dolemonte on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

techno_barbarian, wonder how much that has to do with all the press she has gotten about the book.

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

the bailout is unconstitutional. but he voted for it.

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

I wish she would nail him on saying that he would have been proud to run with John McCain, the next time he tries to slam her running mate.

capitalist piglet on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

She is doing what she’s known for….Biden is bleeding

LimeyGeek on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

ARTICLE 1 IS THE LEGISLATURE

WHAT A FOOL!@

BIDEN, YOU GAFFED!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution

battleoflepanto1571 on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

He is the President of the Senate!!

PaCadle on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Hehe Go psychooo Jooooe!! Slammin Cheney. Yeah that’s the ticket.

He looks like crap

econavenger on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Article 1 of the Constitution is the Legislative Branch…Biden’s branch….

…Article 2 is the Executive….

…Biden must’ve been watching FDR make his Wall Street rallying speech when they taught that in civic class….

Puritan1648 on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Bottom line, she’s not an idiot, but Biden is winning.

Tommygun on October 2, 2008 at 10:12 PM

Dude. That can only be because you are unaware of how many outright lies he has spewed. But are you also somehow unaware of how frustrated and pissed off he’s getting as this housewife from Wasilly goes toe to toe with him?

Wake up.

Jaibones on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Don’t sugarcoat the weaknesses, Gwen.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Gwenny is asking good questions – there’s your October Surprise

InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Joe likes Palin, he cant help himself. Imagine how she could disarm the foreign assholes she would need to deal with, right before ripping their hearts out?

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 PM

drudge poll is up

custer on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

ARTICLE 1 IS NOT THE EXECUTIVE

NICE JOB, SMARTY JOE!

battleoflepanto1571 on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

biased question. loaded question.

but she sounds prepared.

all biden can do is link McCain to Pres. Bush. he has no answer.

madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

I love this show. Biden was a great warmup, but the headliner did awesome. I can’t wait to her wrapup at the end.

Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Every decision Barack makes I’ll be in the room…

No you won’t Joe, you’ll be in the gimp cage in the cellar.

EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:16 PM

LMAO!!!

Calm Before the Storm on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Oh, she stole the kitchen table line!

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

I still – after nearly eight years – have yet to figure out why everyone is so damned scared of Dick Cheney?

uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

HUGE energy producing state! Executive. Middle Class Mom. America IS still a beacon!

Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Exceptionalism. Dynomite.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Youve been trussed, Joe, now comes the gutting.

Hold your breath, the pain will only last another month or so.

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Another Reagan quote!!! YEYAH!

lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Beacon of Hope! City on a hill! Democracy! Tolerance! Freedom! Equal Rights!

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Wow…she is totally kicking his ass. This is red meat for red states.

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Sarah.. she’s a REAL person.. not a Washington INSIDER…
Has a good attitude.. POSITIVE … go Sarah GO

theeyeman3410 on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Ah the Cheyney gambit . . . the most dangerous vice-president in the history of the republic. Heh. What a gasbag. Sure it wasn’t Thomas Jefferson? How about Nixon? How about John Adams?

JonPrichard on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Yes, Joe and ‘the One’ would much rather run against Cheney than Palin…if only…

AUINSC on October 2, 2008 at 10:20 PM

We are unapologetic
PALIN 2012!! PALIN 2012!!
