I don't think they've been sheltering her specifically to lower the bar for the debate with Biden; I think they've been sheltering her because they know she can't handle the job. She wouldn't have shown herself to be so ignorant during the few interviews she has had, if she had a choice. Teresa

What do we expect from this debate? Will Palin be strong and convincing? Will Biden go on the attack or try to be ultra nice?

I went in a state of shock when I looked at the roll call and saw that my own Rep (a Democrat) had voted "no." I already knew I was only going to vote for her because she's the Democrat, and besides the Republican opponent would have voted the same, but, well, saints preserve us.

Strong reciprocity evolved as a dominant cultural survival trait - to the extent that nearly every society exhibits it It is neither altrusitic or purely selfish, and contradicts in part both right and left wing stereotypes of economic man (i.e. Hume and Rousseau) But Adam Smith was perhaps the first to really get this in his Theory of Moral Sentiments http://darwinianconservat...y-and-...
