Just reiterating my advice to Joe Biden. No matter what you do, how careful you are not to talk down to Palin, to be a "nice guy" you're going to come off this debate looking like the "bad guy." If you you try and give her the best option out of questions, you will appear condescending (and will be vilified for it). Seriously. So my advice is to embrace that and show exactly how unprepared she is for national office. Demonstrate what a light weight she is. All she has is attack. That pit bull mentality. It's easy to counter that.
Oh and this whole kerfluffle about Gwen Ifill? One, shows the ignorance of the right about real news people and professionalism (seems strange that much of the business class not having a clue about how to be professional, but as someone who worked in business consulting for five years, yeah, it's true). Two, is an attempt to place the bar so low for Palin that even if she tripped and slid across the floor as she tried to shake Biden's hand, she'd still cross over the expectations bar.
Also (via Jay Lake's Link Salad) a right wing blogger is shocked that her party is full of vicious hate mongers. As someone who has argued against the whole ploy of "liberals are the ones filled with hate" crap, I find this very funny, myself. But then I have a dark sense of humor.
