2008 Vice Presidential debate Joe Biden vs Sarah Palin

This is our chance to see if Sarah Palin has been playing 'possum' with the nation. Expectations are so low, that she wins just by not making any major gaffes. Biden will be wise to talk to her with respect after McCain's lack of respect for Obama seems to have hurt him in the September debate.
