I wish I could add more to this, but the title from this 23/6 video might just be the best possible preview anyways:

Off the Bus Debate Assignment
By: Harry Waisbren
Here's the latest assignment from Huffington Post's citizen journalist squadron Off the Bus:
We need just 15 minutes of your time tonight --
We need you to tune into your local broadcast media's programming tonight following the Biden-Palin vice presidential debate, and QUICKLY report back to us on the coverage. What exactly are your local broadcast journalists saying about the debate? Do they think Biden or Palin won? If so, why? Tomorrow we will publish a story written by HuffPost's OffTheBus member Beverly Davis based on your reports.
DEADLINE: 2am Eastern
FILE HERE: If you email in your reports, we probably will not use them. The 'Survey Monkey' form enables us to download and to quickly sort responses by state and media outlet. Go here to report.
WHAT TO FILE: Here is what we need you to tell us.
- Media outlet's name by call letters (eg. New York's WCBS):
- Name of broadcast journalist(s) who commented on the Biden-Palin debate:
- Describe your local media outlet's take on tonight's vice presidential debate between Biden and Palin in 3-4 complete sentences. Include AT LEAST ONE QUOTE to support your conclusion. We may quote you, so write well! For example -- "Both broadcast journalists, Sam Jones and Melinda Rogers, described the debate as 'a draw.' They pointed out that neither candidate won hands-down and that, while 'Palin exceeded expectations' (Jones) and Biden 'demonstrated his foreign policy expertise' (Rogers) neither candidate emerged victorious."
- Did the network replay footage of the debate? If so, what clips? Please provide direct quotes whenever possible and note the broadcasters' comments. For example: "The network showed McCain smirking next to the podium. Rogers said, 'He looks a bit angry, doesn't he?''"
Let me know if you've got any questions -- thank you!

Sarah Palin Vlog #4: The Big Day
By: Harry Waisbren
Check out the latest video below:
The debate is quickly coming, and as 23/6 reports:
Down to the wire now. Sarah and Dina are up early cramming and jamming for tonight's big face-off. They're finding Sarah's weak spots and plugging holes. If Mr. Joe Biden tries to slap Sarah's face with her own rape kit, she'll be ready.

Breaking out the Keating 5 Story
By: Harry Waisbren
The Public Campaign Action Fund went there. As discussed the other day on this blog, McCain is particularly vulnerable on his history with the Keating 5 as it shows that he has been DIRECTLY invovled in similar financial crises caused by deregulation like we are seeing now.

McCain Jokes About Being a Dictator
By: Harry Waisbren
This would be much funnier if it weren't so frightening. You would think the media would be concerned by his casual attitud to ending the demcoratic process especially considering he openly is asking for a more "forceful" policy towards both Russia and China. We need to remember that McCain has not ruled out Bush's policy of preemptive war, and that he has already adopted the Bushian view of freedom of expression.
A McCain dictatorship is no laughing matter, as if he would engage the continued policy of unending war by engaging in new wars with CHINA AND RUSSIA he will certainly have to remove even the semblence of the freedoms we have enjoyed even in George W. Bush America. Maybe it's time our mainstream media begin asking these questions rather than assuming we could never become that sort of terrible country...
