To think that Palin will out-debate Biden is similar to my cheering for Baldomir against PBF. It isn't going to happen.

Biden is a heavyweight politician. He is by far the most qualified of the four (P and VP). To have picked someone like Palin whenever you are a cancer survivor/poor ass health I believe is a most unpatriotic move (pure politics).

bro you are giving Biden WAAAAAY too much credit. Have you ever seen him in action. Dude says the sky is blue one minute then he tells you its yellow the next. I have never seen anyone quite like him. It baffles me that he keeps getting reelected.
As far as heavyweight....maybe if the heavy's weighed a buck o' five. Dude has been wrong on everything as far back as I can remember. He is one of my five least favorite politicians.

my least favorite is Gil Cedeno state legislator in my great state of California.

I don't think the debates will make much difference. High school juniors can learn enough in a set period to do replicas of these debates so a professional politician like Palin can be briefed adequately with enough talking points and information in the time they have before she debates. If she doesn't make a serious blunder it'll be spun as a Palin win too.

My favourite politician is James Traficant for his honest wig and his amazing dress sense, plus standing up and telling Congress that they'd all love to have the courage to wear bell bottoms to work too. I'd vote for this guy anytime.

Lehman Brothers is one of the top few investment banks in the world. Today their shares lost 40% of their value, the kind of drop we saw happen to Bear Stearns before they were bailed out by the Fed. Wall Street firms like Bear and Lehman don't add value to the economy, they just charge fees to manage money and help investors and corporations do business.

If and when Lehman do get bailed out it's going to mean the printing of huge quantities of dollars to add on to the huge quantitiy of dollars the Fed has already printed in the seven bailouts it's Ok'd since the current crisis started. Every US taxpayer is going to pay for these bailouts, but in real yerms (and disproportionately compared to the wealthy) the prudent will pay for this, and not in some future taxes to pay for the debt (they'll pay those too) but via inflation as the number of dollars printed continues to increase. The unstated message of all these bailouts is that you're now prudent at your own risk if you don't buy into each bubble that comes along you're going to see the value of your savings and assets slashed and burnt.

If the media were doing their job they'd be all over this story as there's nothing more important to Americans (or the way they vote)than the economy. Instead they're asking does Obama really love America ans scaring Americans over nonexistent threats like Iran. These bailouts are going to cost working families thousands over the next decade via inflation and new debt but the whole issue is ignored by the media. It's like watching Pravda cover the old Soviet Union.
