The Hollywood Reporter: 'Entertainment Value Huge for Palin-Biden'
Articles like this just confirm my suspicion that the Palin-Couric interview is now the White Bronco Chase of American politics.

1. It might turn into one of the most lop-sided debates in VP debate history, that's why.
People have a hunch it's going to be a slaughterhouse.

2. Just maintaining a straight face will be difficult for him
I don't envy the fine line he'll be walking.

4. I think he will use his amazing capacity for humor
to counteract the attacks against him and his record she will most surely use because she will have nothing of substance to offer.

I also think the humor will be "gentle" in the sense that he will not be perceived as attacking her.

I have a great deal of confidence in Biden.

7. And he has a reputation for being a pretty gentle guy
with no mean streak.

I'm nervous about everything these days.

3. My secret fear:
she pulls it off. Yeah, I know it seems impossible, but so does having the shrub in office for eight fricking years.

8. A few CNN pundits theorized yesterday that
no matter how well she does, the Couric interview has really branded her in America's imagination, especially after the SNL parody.

9. I fervently hope so.
No matter how she performs during the debate she isn't VP material. She's barely soccer mom material.

5. What an awesome analogy!
Not quite as big an audience, but definitely a big flashing FAIL sign of the times.
