Still waiting for the first pitch at Wrigley, and Biden's supporting same-sex marriage.
8:37 Biden gets backed into saying that he doesn't support gay "marriage."
8:38 Palin says Obama and Biden voted against funding the troops, and Joe almost does a spit take.
8:39 First f-bomb from Ilsa.
8:40 Crap, I missed the first pitch. They're under way a few blocks away.
8:41 Palin directly challenges Biden, calling his plan a "white flag of surrender."
8:41 I just almost spit pizza on Ilsa's computer trying to shout out that "Maliki called for us to pullout" of Iraq.
8:42 Biden just hammered the point that McCain voted against a funding bill that had a time line in it. Now he's on to the original decision to go to war.
8:46 Really, Cuba?
8:48 Again, Biden's stuck talking specifics, while Palin goes on with broad talking points. I have to say, for Dems this isn't going well. Palin hasn't done anything embarassing, so unless something changes people are going to see this as a "win" for Palin.
8:50 Palin takes the bold GOP stance against the Holocaust.
8:51 Palin makes a pretty bold stance favoring building an American embassy in Jerusalem. Seems to me that would be a pretty provocative move against the Palestinians.
8:53 Palin claims that America will get sick of Obama bringing up Bush's record. Hmm. I don't think that's the case.
8:54 Biden hammers the fact that McCain shows no sign of going in a different direction than Bush.
8:56 0-0 at Wrigley after 1.
8:57 Biden makes a strong point on how we spend more in 3 weeks in Iraq than we have in 7 years in Afghanistan. Everyone here was impressed.
8:58 I think Joe's sighing loudly. He's gotta stop that.
8:59 Daisy sighting! Nobody move.
9:01 Joe just got fired up about imposing a no-fly zone over Darfur.
9:03 Son of a bitch! 1-0 Dodgers. Come on Cubs!
9:03 I'm losing interest in this debate. Palin is just spouting her talking points and Gwen refuses to challenge her. Biden's afraid of seeming the bully. She's going to skate in this debate.
9:06 Gwen asks about the possibility of the veep becoming prez. The mood in the room: frustrated. I don't think anyone has challenged anything that Palin has said all night.
9:07 Dammit, the Dodgers just scored again.
9:07 Palin just called herself a maverick. I hate when they do that. Both she and McCain do that and it's like some loser trying to get his friends to call him "Cruiser."
