• Gwen Ifill will bend over backwards to show her ability to be impartial, as she knows she is under intense scrutiny; she might even throw some gaffe-inducing opportunities at Biden just to say, "See... I am not biased!"
• Palin will be awkward, but will start to relax and turn on the folksy charm that will endear her to voters (and be the subject of a Tina Fey parody).
• Palin will stumble on some "gotcha" questions: "Governor Palin, can you comment on the recent Farsi-language broadcast by the Second Assistant to the Speaker of the Iraqi House, and, in particular, his statement about the GNP of izbekistan? Also, could you spell his name and tell us the names of his children by wife number 3?"
• Before the debate cameras pan out and the credits roll the Obamites will be on all the online sites that have polls voting that Biden beat Palin in the debates... MSNBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, CNN, NYT, Politico...
