I've got the vice presidential debate replaying in another window on my computer as I scan through Web sites and I came across this from the New York Times live blog of the debate.

One to One | 10:25 p.m. Ms. Ifill tries to break through the conventional wisdom about their biggest weaknesses. She notes that Ms. Palin’s is that she lacks experience and Mr. Biden’s is that he lacks discipline. In her answer, Ms. Palin sails off about her executive experience.

Mr. Biden gets closer to answering, saying that some say his weakness is not discipline but his passion, but adds: “I’m not going to change, I have 35 years in public office.”

He then refers to a gender issue that may be rippling through this debate. He delivers a heart-felt answer about being a single parent and challenges the notion that because he isn’t a woman, he doesn’t understand certain basic issues.

Huh? Ifill says the knock on Palin is that she's inexperienced and she answers by talking about her executive experience and that is "sailing off," and not answering the question?

Hoystory is an unedited blog. Maybe the Times blog is unedited too.
