Second Presidential Debate

Chances are it'll be relatively uneventful, but McCain really has nothing to lose at this point. Here's hoping it gets dirty (though not this dirty):



Catch it tonight at 9 on every channel. Usdan is having a public viewing if you lack a TV and don't want to wait for choice YouTube clips.

Tina Fey Is Better At Sarah Palin Than Palin Is

Tina Fey has done it again. The former Saturday Night Live writer and performer had twice returned to the show to play the role of Governor Palin:

Sarah Palin / Hillary Clinton Non-Partisan Message
Sarah Palin Interview with Katie Couric

And now, following the vice presidential debates, Tina Fey has come back to reprise her role yet again. SNL's Sarah Palin, along with Joe Biden, portrayed by Jason Sudeikis, poke fun at some memorable moments from Thursday's debate in another piece of political humor gold.

Video is over 10 minutes long. Give yourself some time to spare if you're gonna watch the whole thing.

Liberal Media Bias? Yes.
Funny? Double Yes.

Vice Presidential Debate Tonight

Joe Biden and Sarah Palin go head-to-head tonight for their first and only time.

Vice presidential debates have been held reguarly since 1984, but have been largely unsuccessful and historically insignificant. However, with an imminent historic election due in a month, all eyes will be on a fiery Biden-Palin showdown.

Both second-in-command hopefuls will have a point to prove tonight. Govenor Palin has been waning in popularity since her speech at the Republican National Convention. And after a less than impressive interview with Katie Couric last week, now may be her last chance to deliver. This debate will be key for her to prove skeptics wrong on her relative inexperience.

Senator Biden also has cynics to silence. Biden has long held a reputation for being a lively and combative speaker. But often times, this has made him appear aggressive and at times patronizing. Many fear that if he adopts a harsh tone against Palin that many are used to, Biden may alienate a key constituent of women voters.

With election interest at an all-time high, and an unprecedented spotlight on the vice presidential nominees, this debate is expected to set a tone for what's to come for both parties in their final month of preparation.

Starts at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, on most major networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, CNN, etc.)
i.e. No Office tonight.

[edit 3:06 pm] If you don't have access to a TV, you can head over to the Usdan lobbyat 9 pm for a group viewing.
