In a debate he'll have to pull his punches or be accused of "hitting the girl. Oh you bully!"

Dammit, how fast do you type? You posted while I was still trying to write.

Damn, missed by ten minutes....

Although if more than one person is thinking the same thing, it probably isn't paranoia.

He doesn't need to throw punches anymore.  This is even better for the veep debate, because throwing punches comes with some risk, especially given Biden's foot-in-mouth disease.

Palin knows nothing about foreign affairs.  All Biden's got to do is stand there, be a gentleman, and answer the questions.

What I'd like to see now is an effort, especially among women in our party, to portray McCain as condescending towards women with this decision.

His experience argument, as all the pundits (even Joe Scarborough) are helpfully pointing out, is now gone.

If we can show this for what it is (not easy, btw) -- a pathetic, cynical choice that treats female voters like idiots -- this election will be over, and it'll be a question of how badly McCain gets beat.

I didn't say I was optimistic.  These are, after all, the Democrats.  I just said it could be done.
