And let\'s not forget that Biden stood out in those debates by sometimes answering a simple Yes or No question with a simple Yes or No.  He does very well in this format.<br><br>Plus, a shorter format means that a wider range of questions will be asked which means all the more opportunity for Palin to put her foot in her mouth ala the infamous "Bush Doctrine" moment.  Her coaches can\'t possibly prepare her for EVERYTHING.<br><br>And lastly, less direct back and forth between the candidates means less opportunity for the McCain camp to claim that Biden "picked on" poor ol\' Gov. Palin.<br><br>Frankly, even though this debate will probably be the most zany of the bunch, it\'s going to be just like any other VP debate and won\'t mean a damn thing in the end.<br><br>Look for Biden to channel Lloyd Bensten with the line "I know Hillary Clinton.  I\'m friends with Hillary Clinton.  And you, madam, are no Hillary Clinton."</div>\

I was friends with Jack Kennedy. And you, sir, are no Jack Kennedy."  When I heard that, my mom and I looked at each other and said, "If Bentsen were running for POTUS, he\'d would have won just by that line alone."<br><br>Too bad Bentsen was attached to Mike Dukakis, whose "Willie Horton" moment was the collective groan heard around the world as Poppy Bush won the election right then and there.<br><br>20 years later, and I still remember that pain.  Only Bush\'s re-election in 2004 was more painful because the Democrats had no excuse for losing that contest, other than a fixed election in Ohio.</div>\

The prime suspect was Karl Rove, Mr. Bush\'s powerful political adviser.<br><br>When the online magazine Salon published an article about the rumors on Friday, the speculation reached such a pitch that White House and campaign officials were inundated with calls. <br><br>First they said that pictures showing the bulge might have been doctored. But then, when the bulge turned out to be clearly visible in the television footage of the evening, they offered a different explanation.<br><br><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/09/politics/campaign/09bulge.html?_r=1&oref=slogin" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/09/politics/camp...</a></div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-2523559" class="dsq-comment-message">My initial reaction upon reading about this was "What\'s the point of the debate then"? If it is scripted, it\'s the same things as what they\'re already saying now. With the race being as close as it is, what\'s going to bring in the people who are undecided are the personality differences, the like-ability factor. So if that is not allowed to shine through, what is the frickin\' point of the debate?!?! <br><br>But, this could work out in Biden\' favor. With a script, both will have to showcase charm (as the words will come across as empty. This is politics, when politicians read off of a script it comes across as, well...politicians speaking). Palin is charming, we have to give her that. However, she\'s also very unqualified. <br><br>People have been fed B.S. for so long by the Bush Administration that we know what B.S. taste like, even if it\'s covered in caviar. <br><br>The only people that will be enamoured by her are the people who already like her. The undecideds will most likely be cynical and fed-up. <br><br>However, Biden can "tell \'em the truth and let them see it\'s hell". That\'s the advantage we have guys. Things are messed up right now. That is the consequense of the Bush Administration policies. McCain has set himself up to continue these policies. We Cannot Say This Enough. Let them spin it how they may, but in a scripted speech, the Obama Campaign has a chance to watch out for possible twist of words. And one thing the Obama Campaign can do well, is write a heck of a speech!</div>\
