Does Palin have any chance of coming out of this debate in a month looking like Biden didn't just kick her in the pooter? Discuss.

Let me guess the outcome of this thread... The Repubs will say yes and the Dems will say no. After the debate nothing will change...

Except that the Dems will be right and the Repubs will look like fools.

I'm watching Palin speak right now.... underwhelming if she was chosen for her oratory skills.

And no offense to any service men or vets, but how much can they play up the POW thing. They should stick to the issues. There's not an American around who hasn't heard McCain's story at least twice. We know he's a hero. We know he's brave, but everytime an issue is raised he plays that card. That's not going to go very far. It's already starting to be noticed.

I did find it absolutely hilarious that in 2008, The Republicans are offering up the only guy who has actually "fought" for the American people. Was Kerry their man in 2004?

As a Registered Republican...I bet you think my vote would be Yes?

When it would actually be No. Joe Biden is far too knowledgeable and too dynamic a speaker for most seasoned opponents to handle...her only chance is to cry during the debate and hope for the sympathy vote. He's gonna tear her AND McCain apart in this debate.

I'm gonna agree with you. When it's not a controlled speech in front of your own convention, it'll be a different story. She may have trouble controlling her temper. That's exactly what they wait for from a female.

I notice there's a few more minorities there tonite also. Everything with these people is a knee-jerk reaction to public opinion.

So I take it she wants to get into a mudslinging match with Joe Biden?

Good luck with that one, Sarah...

Like this comment wouldn't have been made if they were there the other night? C'mon. In 2004 that was what was said when they had several groups there. "Look at that!! So obvious that they're trying to show they're diverse." It's a no win situation.

As far as the debate. No prayer. I expect most of her comments to mention McCain was a POW and that she's a hockey mom. Maybe she benefits from the incredibly low expectations.

It's just a comment. Why all the over-reaction? It was mentioned last night, I just followed up.

Not an over-reaction. It's the truth. I've heard that today at least four times from four different people. It's a silly point to bring up.

To belabor the point, no it isn't silly to bring it up. The Republicans do this all the time. They will do whatever they have to to get elected, including portraying themselves as the party of "inclusion", which I happen to feel is rubbish.

I think it's important to focus on the fact that he's a man of principle and honor. The purpose is to highlight the differences between him and his opponent.

Also, while Biden, being the true Washington insider that he is, is a great debater, he will have his hands full with Palin.

Objectively speaking, this will be one of the highest rated Vice Presidential debates in history.

Sort of funny how your counterparts on this site, like to belabor the drinking and pregnancy issue. They should stick to the issues.

That's because the "rules" only apply to those with differing opinions.
