All three networks had their political pundits lay out the do's and don't's for Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. NBC political director Chuck Todd set the bar low for Palin. Her goal is "to survive" while Biden's is "not to get baited." Bob Schieffer (no link), anchor of CBS' Face the Nation, required Palin to reassure voters that "she has a basic grasp of the important issues…she has had such great difficulty in expressing herself." Meanwhile, Biden has to guard against seeming like a "blabbermouth who is condescending, who acts like he is some know-it-all." On ABC, This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos was in New York City to watch the debate on television--Schieffer and Todd were in St Louis--and he offered "kind of mirror image advice." Biden has to "button down" and show some self-control; Palin has to "loosen up" to avoid seeming tightly scripted, robotic and frozen.
