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!

SHE DID ANSWER IT GWEN!
unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Come on -Sarah, congratulate Ifil on the book
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
stop with the Wall Street corruption and talk about the Democratic corruption in this mess
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
She’s kicking his ass.
Guardian on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
She is awesome so far!
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Call me crazy, but i didn’t think that latest cbs video was as damaging as her bumbling answer on the bailout. In fact i see nothing wrong with it.
mainmann on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
They are out there. Lenders selling house to illegals w/out papers etc. Lots of blame to go around.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
On Hewitt’s interview she got better and better and time went on. 90 minutes is a long time.
Cindy Munford on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
So far so good. I’ve said this before. She hasn’t made a single GAFFE in over a month on the major political scene. She’s not going to make any tonight. She’s been hesitant and uncomfortable, but hasn’t said a single thing that contradicts McCain.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
NOT JUST THE LENDERS>>>>but JANET RENO!!!
seejanemom on October 2, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Very, very boiler plate so far.
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
YES ! Personal responsibility.
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Damnit Sarah, put the blame on the dems for their part in this crisis and give specifics!
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
He Heh, Joe’s just nodding along while she talks!
4shoes on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
lol wat?
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
She is saying what she needs to say for the undecideds.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
WHAT!!!
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Good answer….
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
I’m glad Ifill gets to decide when the questions have been answered properly.
Moderate, Gwen…
richardj on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Barry warned?
tehd on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
2 years ago b.o. warned about sub primes? from where the state senate?
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
As Dennis Miller said on O’Reilly last night – Palin should, at this point, hold up a galley copy of Ifill’s book and ask her to autograph it.
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
When did Barack Obama warn against a subprime crisis?
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
She’s looking directly in the camera and talking to the people. And it’s a positive and hopeful message and it’s plain spoken. She’s doing very well.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Missed opportunity. Who’s telling the truth on what Biden is saying? Obama has never had an opinion on anything other than extorting money.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Obama was a friggin’ ACORN lawyer who helped bring this whole problem on!
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
NO NO NO NO
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
John McCain is a good man count: 2
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
BS METER PEGGING!!!
common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Preach it.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
She needs to specifically explain the bill McCain proposed
Mark1971 on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Yeah, he warned the banks to give mortgages or else!
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
“Deregulation, deregulate. ” Words of the day for Biden.
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Now she needs to bring up Dodd and Frank.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
joey danker? that’s a made up name!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Time to name names of Joe
Six-pack and call the Waaambulance!
joeinmo on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING about D.C. UNREAL!!
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Sara seems like she getting her mojo back.
Tobias2012 on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
omg, biden is cracking up!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Joey bag of donuts can’t fill his gas tank! Ha!
common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Her practice with the trees is paying off!
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
When he had to go to his buddy Tony Rezko to get his house.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
whose at fault:
Sarah: predator lenders; deception; greed; corruption; Nat’l Review now slashing their wrists
that first credit card; don’t live outside our means
She has great presence on camera
Plugs: didn’t follow him at all
sarah: tax hammering
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Yeah, that there weren’t enough subprime loans.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
neither are answering questions; both way too programmed
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Get your hair off you eyelash, Sarah. Distracting.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Come on, name names of the culprits!
joeinmo on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
why the hell can’t the gop EXPLAIN WHY less government and less taxes work? WHY!!@!!@!?!?!@!@???
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM
LMAO
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Why didn’t she bring up Franklin Raines?
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Awww, I was hoping she’d blame Barney Frank. Nuts.
heypally on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
…Sarah looks tight…needs to warm to the format…and she hasn’t much time….
…Joe looks less so…he’s solid in this format…his ambition has taken him to the top-spot party nomination debates for a coon’s age, so he’s an old campaigner….
…so, Sarah’s gotta get nasty…heat, girl…throw him the heater….
Puritan1648 on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
love the shots of him snickering
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
The tax argument goes nowhere.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Sarah bloodied his nose on taxes
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
I hate McCain!!!! Why can’t we tell the truth about this financial mess?
John Doe on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
He is going to blow….
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
OOOOF, Biden just SLAMMED her.
muyoso on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Did Hair plugs just dis the free market?
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
McCain’s team is blowing this! Stop playing populist – fight already!
If she doesn’t start laying blows – it’s done. Forget about 10 points ahead, it’ll be 15 next week. The Dems, liars that they are, are at least fighting. McCain ain’t doing squat.
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
get him sarah!
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Deregulation! Biden get off it already
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Oh SNAP!!! SHE’S BITING BACK!! GO PITBULL!!
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
go beyotch!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Oh, crap. Sarah laying it all out.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Noooo…it’s an alias…
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Is this what she is supposed to be saying? I’m not gettin’ it.
dmarie on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
She can’t get too partisan and blame the Dems, they still want to pass that bill.
Cindy Munford on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Good start by Palin. But why doesn’t she talk about the Community Reinvestment Act. And more about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Dodd and Frank
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
I wish she WOULD answer that deregulation question and tell the truth. The dems were the ones standing in the way of regulation. Talk about barney fwank and dodd.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Oh god, she just wont answer the question.
muyoso on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
whoa! Not answering the way you or the moderator want me to!!!
woo-hoo!
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
yes, cutting taxes makes businesses grow and then they hire people and that creates JOBS!!!! is it that hard to say?
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Time to be patriotic and get in the game, Gwen.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
How hard is it for her to talk about the banking reform bill he sponsored?
Mark1971 on October 2, 2008 at 9:15 PM
…she needs to stop thinking and start talking…talk to the people…stop trying to impress…screw what’s riding on this one…be Sarah!
Puritan1648 on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Just keep smiling that smarmy smile, Uncle Joe! You look like a snake!
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Gwen is doing well so far, but she really should have disclosed the book.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
No Biden it’s called socialism
jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
I hate fairness. Life’s not fair. Where the hell did these people grow up?
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Ding ding ding…the Obamaerator has decreed – next question…
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Joe pulls in $245.000, doesn’t he?
yo on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Did Gwenny learn to speak from Nobama? she is stuttering all over the place – get the woman a teleprompter!!!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
She’s getting to him- he’s going to get condescending!
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
of course biden dissed the free market and won’t be called on it
we ALL know dems are socialists
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Uh oh! She cut off Palin when she was spewing the truth….bias anyone?
lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
talk about small businesses, mom and pops, and job loss
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
biden has definitely had his eyes done. he looks like sylvester stalone.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Ok, now Gwen is attacking Palin. My husband is flaggergasted, I’m not surprised at all.
4shoes on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Did she call her “Dear”?
repvoter on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
I am the middle class. I don’t want Obama/Biden to help me. Leave me alone
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
250,000 is not super wealthy
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Biden coming off really ornory.
Yes…she called him out on it! Redistribution.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
middle class is NOT the economic engine,
why the hell is this “tax the rich” garbage allowed to be gotten away with over and over and over?
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
She called him on redistribution. That’s good
church on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Is it me or does Biden have some Orange Tan ala Kerry going on tonight.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
this is a blur; the format is requiring both to talk way too fast
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Gwen’s dropped the pretense of being “fair” early on..
Weasel Zipper on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
haha
Both of my sons just txt me:
Son #1 “Why isn’t he answering the questions/Go Sarah, bit*h slap him”
Son #2 Let’s go to the bar
tehd on October 2, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Craptastical!!!
He’s got it sooo wrong…it’s not middle clas that is the economic engine, it’s small business owners!!!!!
