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!

CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
I heard that Obama supposedly “owes” Hillary the first Supreme Court nomination?
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Ok then, it begins.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
My pit bull has her peanut butter stuffed kong toy in front of the television. She’s ready.
Pit Bulls for Palin!
Game face
Me? seriously considering drinking
tehd on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Here we go!!!!!

Biden has already made a racial remark to Gwen Ifill
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Agreed…good seeing the love you/hate you hot KP !!!
Sarah: “Get Hard or Die!”
Dirthead on October 2, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Ok. Holden breath NOW!
Amadeus on October 2, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Just keep thinking of the last play from “The Longest Yard” and everything will be fine.
Mean machine. Mean Machine. Mean MACHINE. MEAN MACHINE! MEAN MACHINE! MEAN MACHINE!
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Quiet in here.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Yeah, the situation room is going. Bret Baier is my favorite guy. They’re trying to address the audio issues. Sadly, no Michael Steele.
The first time I tried opening it, I got the BSOD, for the first time in the 2 year history of my computer. It was scary. I opened it again, and now its good.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Ifill seems nervous already.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Obama wouldn’t promise it. That’s why Bill and Hill are dragging their feet.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
almost as bad as the pumpkin pantsuit.
infidel on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Got the nice Islay scotch, now I’m ready to rock.
Uh oh…Gwen just asked Palin if she is still a Nazi sympathizer.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
YES Mystery Science Theater on Fox’s Strategy Room
tehd on October 2, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Can I call you Joe!!
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
“Hey, can I call you Joe?”
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Sarah looks great!
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Ahaha. They’re going to refuse the “no outbursts” rule.
“Oh, she’s so cute. How can you not love her.”
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
C’mon Sarah! Carve Gaffey Duck up like a totem pole!
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Awww… “Hey, can I call you Joe?” :-)
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Can I call you plugs?

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Might be job security but it would probably be a pay cut.
Cindy Munford on October 2, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Wow, the internet stream is ahead of the tv stream. That’s a first.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Boooosh! drink
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Oh shit, Gwen just showed the crowd her “Obama ‘08″ collector underwear.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
The moderator seems smart…she should write a book about something.
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
I CAN`T LOOK!
*covers face*
ThePrez on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
OMG…Rush predicted this. It’s on his webpage…lmao. Mondale said exactly this. :-D
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
SARAH!!! Call him Joe!
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Sarah Palin is a cutie…AND, she asked Biden if she could call him “Joe”.
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
They can use notes?
Tobias2012 on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Obama has signed her cast!!
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Did she at least acknowledge her book? Ms. Ifil, I mean.
Cindy Munford on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
:)
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
What is up with his eye?
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
“Can I call you Joe, senator?”
“Can I call you dumb hick bitch from Nowheresville, Eskimo girl?”
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Biden’s first attack: BORING: I choose you!
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
I have a feeling she is going to kick Biden ass.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
bush bush bush bush
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Nice fake patriotism on your lapel, Biden.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM

anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
“Can I call you Joe, senator?”
“Can I call you dumb hick biotch from Nowheresville, Eskimo girl?”
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM

Cardiganfox on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM

CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Biden sounds tired
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
ummm…so far so good? she looks confident.
dmarie on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Sarah is very nervous. God speed, Sarah.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
“Get these squirrels off of me!”
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
I think she’s nervous, but that could just be me projecting.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
how is she doing? I can’t watch.
Its on 4 (!) channels live here in Australia. Fox News, Sky News Australia and the two government broadcasters. I can’t get away from it.
cyclosarin on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Relax Sarah. Warm up and kick ass.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Damn. Outta the gate strong.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:06 PM
She is hitting already..I love it!!
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
She’s doing well!
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
whoa she is overprepped. i hope she doesn’t blow.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
bailout…
Joe–Bush screwed it up. what was the question?
Sarah–looking straight at the camera; soccer game; terrific answer going straight to the middle class; mccain sounded the warning bell SUPER
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I hear a tremble in her voice. I hope she gets into her groove and that goes away.
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
She does seem like she’s got the butterflies, but its understandable
common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
A recap of tonite…. Analysis of Sarah’s Performance
ManlyRash on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Even my 19 year old thinks Palin appears nervous
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I can’t bring myslef to turn on the TV
clnurnberg on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Nope she is definitely nervous but that is understandable.
She will warm up.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
dude?
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Reach across the aisle? Biden?
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
You can bet if it was Biden vs Pawlenty, that number would be 0-2 networks.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
she definitely looks great.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Is that Aunt Esther moderating ??
redrock on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
He is setting her up w/the fundamentals deal..this should be good
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Yah!
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Yeah Joe, tough reaching across the aisle on those controversial issues like violence against women….
4shoes on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
you go sarah!
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
My GOD, is that an earpiece dangling from Palin’s ear???
I knew the earlier hysteria and screaming was worth the effort.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Boosh! Wink and nod!
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
She’s killing me. She just winked at the people about “what John McCain meant”.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
ugh.
dmarie on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
slowww down.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Sarah seems very nervous. Hopefully she can loosen up.
SoulGlo on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Here we go with the Maverick talk again
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
Biden is bipartisan. Ask Clarence Thomas.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM
she is kicking…
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
ITS TIME FOR TEA, Y’all.
Pray for Sarah.
…live now…SHE IS DOING GREAT….
seejanemom on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Give her a few minutes, folks…she’s nervous, but I have a hunch she’s just warming up good.
C’mon, baby, let him have it…
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
She is getting warmer.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Put the Maverick in the White House!
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Oh oh again, the embalming fluid is leaking out of Joe’s nostrils.
Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
bipartisanship:
Joe–I have lots of friends; can I talk about something else?
Sarah–BO 96% on party lines; new energy and commitment
Gwen–neither answered (true)!
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM

unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM

ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Oh oh again, the embalming fluid is leaking out of Joe’s nostrils..
