As the whole world seems to know, Sarah Palin debates Joe Biden tonight. Regardless of your voting preference, this is a historic night for women.
The one and only time we had a woman as an actual nominee on a major party ticket was a quarter of a century ago!
Why has it taken a quarter of a century for women to get another break from the tired tradition of only men need apply?
Ask the Democratic Party!
Politico: — Sarah Palin plans to go on the attack in tonight’s debate, hitting Joe Biden for what she will call his foreign policy blunders and penchant for adopting liberal positions on taxes and other issues, according to campaign officials involved in prepping her for tonight’s showdown.
The Palin camp is projecting surprising self-confidence in the pre-debate hours, despite the vice presidential nominee’s uneven — and, at some points, peculiar — performances in recent television interviews, the officials say. Top advisers to John McCain privately say Palin’s recent CBS interview was a borderline disaster, especially since it played out in several segments over several days. Tonight will be different, they say.Related: NY Times Op-ed Contributors: Questions for the Next Vice President
