I'll concede it won't necessarily cause a huge swing to either side, but I wouldn't call it "meaningless". I think it's important we get a look at who the #2s on the tickets are, particularly since one of them has basically been kept in a shroud for the better part of her candidacy. Biden saying Bosniacs was no worse than Palin calling the General in Afghanistan by the wrong name. Palin did flat out not answer several questions, though, and was a bit of a one-note Nellie. She was so controlled so as to not make gaffes, she had absolutely no depth or breadth to her answers. And I don't know who coached her to do that cutesy, "Aw, come on now, Joe" stuff, but good lord was that annoying. It felt like she was in the interview section of a pageant most of the time, the constant fake smiling, the goofy winks and folksy Fargo-like talk, it was just too over-the-top. One heartbeat away. Seriously. Bone-chillingly terrifying, that prospect. I always thought of Biden as kind of a quirky guy and wasn't prone to take him as a serious VP prospect, but his performance tonight actually gave me a great sense of confidence.
