Cacophony, perhaps you're sexist but don't realise it?
I was reading on CNN somewhere that the Obama camp plan on keeping the focus away from Palin and on McCain. Probably wise.
I have a fear that Biden, no matter how hard he tries not to, will come across as patronising (and hence, in some people's eyes, sexist) when he's on TV debating her. Not through any particular fault of his. As someone so much older and more established than she is, and particularly if she struggles against him, it will be very hard for him to avoid unintentionally making her appear like the victim of, if not outright sexism, then certainly male-dominated Washington. He's going to have to be conscious of that, and handle it very carefully.
