Beer for Biden, Pie for Palin

Tonight Scott, my roommate, and I are hosting a Vice Presidential Debate Party. Yes, yes quite dorky perhaps but I am policy student and it comes with the territory. The theme of the party, as all good parties have some type, is "Beer for Biden, Pie for Palin." Beer is an obvious choice and we decided on pie because, well, we like alliteration too. More directly however, a couple girls in our program went apple picking over last weekend and came back with an excess of 10lbs of apples. Apparently one of the girls already made more than a gallon of apple sauce and there are still plenty of apples left over for some delicious pie.

I am quite curious to see how the debate tonight turns out. Admittedly I am quite partisan toward Obama-Biden, but I am always interested to hear what the McCain-Palin campaign has to say. McCain definitely played a wild card in choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate and up to about a week ago I would say it was paying off. Palin's interview with Katie Couric was a disaster, but that makes this debate all the more interesting. All the politically minded folk around the country are waiting to see what happens tonight; it could be a real boon for either campaign for sure.
