The one thing I really appreciated about Senator Clinton is that she never did that with the possible exception of the New Hampshire tears and I don't think that was purposeful.

Senator Biden is of that generation of men brought up to not challenge a woman so that will be to his disadvantage. As an aside I think that is instinctual in most men regardless of age.

Additionally there is the determination of the McCain camp to set her up as a "victim" of the liberal media which is laughable. If people don't actually watch the debate they will depend on the media to report it and reporters IMO will go out of their way to put her in a favorable light to avoid being accused of favoritism.

The good thing is Gwen Ifill will moderate the VP debate and she doesn't tolerate guff from anyone,

Edited to add: Holy cow, just watched the video of the exchange between Nicole Wallace and Jay Carney. WHO CARES?????????. Unfreakingbelievable!!!
