You could hear on her live mic when they came on stage that Palin greeted Biden by saying: "Nice to meet you" and "Can I call you Joe?" Interesting point about why she might have been calling him Joe, although I chalked it up more to the Hockey Mom persona she wants to foster.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to things like this. I see a difference in Obama calling McCain "John," since they already know each other and are collegues in the Senate and peers, as it were. It sounds a little different to me coming from Palin, when they don't already know each other (as evidenced by the fact that they both commented that it was nice to finally meet) and don't have that pre-existing, collegial relationship.
But yeah, Biden needed to come up with a different way to refer to everybody.
And WarEagle07 . . . priceless!

See, and the cynical side of me thinks she was just getting set up to pull out some of those one-liners that had been prepared for her that she felt she really needed to get in there -- "Say it ain't so, Joe!", etc.

I thought the same. In fact, I thought Tina Fey was actually speaking the entire debate.

Washington Post Reports
McCain campaign openly admits an upcoming fierce attack on Barack Obama (starting Tuesday). Prepare for negative attack ads about Obama's integrity, honestly and character. McCain is preparing to "take off the gloves" during the debate. This should be interesting! 
My opinion: it'll work!

I'm not sure it will. Palin is getting a lot of criticism over her, "Obama is friends with terrorists" statement.

Anything that will take the focus off the economy will work. I'm surprised McCain will go this direction... personal attacks about Obama's connection with various people. McCain has a couple of relationships I'm sure he doesn't want placed in lime light again... that will surely be counter productive. This is definitely not the McCain I remember for the last two decades.

One sad note, Tina Fey said she will be "done" playing Sarah Palin on November 5th. It will be a long four years if McCain wins and there is no good parody of Palin on SNL.

Are you serious? I wonder why!?! She makes such a great Sarah! I guess this is just another reason to vote Obama... We don't want someone else to play Sarah for the next four years! lol.

Biden's big gaffe of the night was on the question about Cheney and the role of the vice-president. He said:
Quote:
|
"he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the Vice President of the United States. That's the executive. He works in the executive branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that."
|
Everyone should understand an absolutely false statement about the Constitution from a lawyer who claims to be a Constitutional law expert? Article I is in fact the only place in the Constitution where the role of the vice-president is mentioned, the only problem here is that Article I is what lays out the role and structure of THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH and establishes only that the VP is the President of the Senate but has no vote except in the case of a tie and establishes that there can be a President pro tempore who is to preside over the Senate when the vice-president is absent.
For further information (yes I know "Ace of Spades HQ" is a right-wing libertarian blog and I don't normally read it either, but it lays this particular point out very well) see http://minx.cc/?post=274758
