Gwen Ifill is moderating, right? I have faith she'll ask good questions. The NYT has an editorial today with suggested questions.
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

I spent too much time reading the Post's "How they'll win" piece.

I am increasingly troubled that the focus is all on form, not on substance.
I think the polls usually show that form is more influential than substance. It's hard to avoid talking about form when you have one candidate who is a gaffe machine and another who has had trouble forming coherent answers in interviews.

True. But I feel like a political zombie right now - wandering around shouting: "I want Brains!!! BRAIIIINNNNNNSSS!!"

You may but the right is already getting hysterical about the fact that she has a book in progress about the impact/historical significance of Obama's candidacy. The idea being that she has a conflict of interest since her book will be much more successful if he is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, but the McCain campaign knew that (or should have known that) when they agreed to have Ifill be the moderator.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had my first experience with the magic of cell phones -- a cab driver just called me from my father's cell phone, which he had left in the cab. I gave him my parents' address, and he said he'd drop off the phone! Assuming he does that, instead of robbing my grandmother or some other awful thing, how great!

Which is good for them. Gwen Ifill is a pro, she'll be fair, but if the debate doesn't go well for Palin, they can blame the ref.

I think she ought to bring along a backup moderator, and ask if either of the candidates objects to her being a moderator, AS THEY AGREED MONTHS AGO WHEN GWEN'S BOOK WAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED THROUGHOUT THE PRESS INCLUDING FOx NEWS AND TIME MAGAZINE. If there is any objection, here are five college debating team coaches to choose from.
