Yeah, it would be fun if Ron Paul could be the replacement moderator for the Vice Presidential debate this evening, but as George Stephanopoulus would say, “That’s not going to happen”. The actual moderator, Gwen Ifill from PBS, has been accused of holding a bias for Barack Obama due to her authoring a book praising the ground breaking candidate. She refuses to accept the accusations of bias and will forge ahead with moderating the debate between hockey mom Sarah Palin and DC lifer Joe Biden.

Biden has a long reputation for making brazen statements that often get him in trouble. Palin has made her share of “mistakes” in her short time in the public eye as well. It is safe to say that there may be some verbal fireworks at the debate tonight. The McCain campaign has done its best to downplay the expectations of Palin in the debate, but from my perspective it is Biden who has more to lose. Biden must tread carefully with his words so he does not come off as being sexist or domineering. We’ll see tonight.

Won’t you join us for our second live blogging event? The last one morphed into a chat room more than a live blog, but it was enjoyable and we received positive feedback so we are doing it again. Feel free to participate below beginning at 8:45pm Eastern tonight. The debate begins at 9pm Eastern.
