I haven’t looked at the post-debate reviews yet, but I have to say that last night was a lot like the first Obama/McCain debate. For what Palin is, she did very well. But there’s really nothing there, and we saw a big piece of dryer lint next to a guy who obviously knows a lot of stuff, and who isn’t a lightweight loser. A clear choice, IMHO. Plus Biden did a good job of kicking the crap out of McCain while more or less politely treating Palin as the insignificant pile of moose droppings that she is.

Mostly, though, last night doesn’t matter. Nobody did anything stupid – let alone noteworthy – and in a day nobody will remember any of it as we focus our attention to the second Prez debate. For which, of course, we’ll have a chat set up to get us all through.

Now, let’s get this week over with already.
