Finally, the pictures you’ve all been waiting for. (OK, maybe not, but humor me.) Yesterday, I posted an item about the WashU tradition of having presidential candidates sign basketballs before the debates. At last week’s vice presidential debate, the school again left out basketballs for Palin and Biden to sign.

Biden signed one — as you can see in the picture below. But two of Palin’s daughters — Willow and Piper — signed the other.

Finally, I have pasted below a pictures of the dry-erase board with the slogans, drawings, squiggles, etc. of Joe Biden’s grandchildren. Apparently they watched the debate from backstage and made this before, during, or sometime after the debate. (These pictures, by the way, are courtesy of Mark Edwards, the WashU men’s basketball coach.)
