Format for VP debate tommorow; same as first presidential debate???

[Hawaii Hiker]

Jim Lehrer said before debate began last Friday, candiates didn't know questions beforehand....Will that be the case tommorow, neither Biden nor Palin knows the questions?..

I know there were some different stipulations for the VP debate, just not sure what they were.....

1. One big similarity

The (D) will look great, sound great, the (R) will fumble and stumble and be greeted with cheers for her "great" performance on right wing radio next week.

2. no, it's (the VP debate) is much more structured

they are using the standard 3minute answer, 1 minute rebut IIRC

4. 2 min answer - 30 sec rebuttal (nt)

6. I think that contrary to popular opinion

the soundbites coming out of this debate will not be Palin's responses (which will all be canned talking points), but rather Biden's rebuttals to them.

Also, I can't imagine Palin constructing a single coherent rebuttal for anything Biden says.

3. I asked this the other day and was told they would be sitting at a table, but the prep picture the

McCain camp released of bimbo barbie shows her standing at a lecturn.
The time is going to be: question, 1 or 2 minutes apiece (I've read both) and then 30 seconds apiece.

5. Palin gets advance questions and can use prepared text

Just kidding. I hope.
