The debate is important for both campaigns, but is more so for McCain’s. Tonight is the most important night of Sarah Palin’s career. If she crashes, the gamble McCain took will be seen to be a gigantic mistake. If she does well, the Old Media spin will include this theme: “that is the least we should expect. Oh, and Biden won.” Biden’s performance is less critical of course, but he faces the opposite dangers. If he does well, that is what should be expected. If there is a(nother) major gaffe, the same questions will be raised of Obama: “Why did you put him on the ticket.”
Can’t wait for the debate tonight.
