The Vice Presidential Debate: Will It Matter This Time?

Sarah Palin has fired up the base of the Republican Party, but after recent interviews, even some conservative pundits say she's not qualified to be a heartbeat away from the White House.  Tonight, she'll face off with Senator Joe Biden, who's built his own reputation for foot-in-mouth disease.  We look at the prospects for a vice-presidential debate that might really matter in next month's election. Also, a second chance for the bailout bill, and the renewed search for Steve Fossett's remains.
