Maybe she'll get through it tonight without looking like a fool. It doesn't matter. It's not the best four out of seven World Series. It's the Super Bowl. It's already been played. And she's already lost.

History has put Sen. Biden right in the ring with two of the most galvanizing women of our time.

The challenge for the Obama-Biden campaign is to show voters how bizarrely unqualified and ideologically conservative Palin is without being seen a bullies beating up on the nice young woman from Alaska.

The best laugh in this selection is that McCain thinks he can snag the Hillary refuseniks with a female and appease the Religious Right with Palin's anti-abortion rights stance. He's going to lose on both counts.

So Biden, unlike Obama, is supposed to be a foreign policy guru. But his previous position on the most pressing issue of the day -- the war in Iraq -- is disturbing, if not downright muddleheaded.
