From today’s WSJ:<\/p>\n

For all the speculation over how Sarah Palin will fare in the vice-presidential debate Thursday night, her Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, faces a challenge of his own: taking on the Alaska governor without coming across as sexist or a bully.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nHas anyone seen any of the footage of McCain when he’s been put up against the wall in interviews? The recent Des Moines Register editorial board stuff is priceless<\/a>. Forget the disdain with which he treated his opponent in the first debate (am I the only one who noticed he was making to leave the stage without shaking hands with Obama?).<\/p>\n

It’s a real shame that Biden is going to be hamstrung in tonight’s debate simply because his opponent is a woman. That glass ceiling should cut both ways. You know, given every past interview you’ve seen with Palin, that her specialty is this hit-and-run style of response that contains very little in the way of specifics. One hopes that her handlers have prepared her better for tonight’s show. I really hope she does well. The Obama\/Biden ticket deserves to have a worthy opponent in this contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
