So i was thinking. We've all seen palin against couric and palin against charlie gibson and..well, she's been less than stellar. ..ok, so she makes dan quayle seem like a rhodes' scholar. Seriously, gaffes are one thing, but she was not prepped properly for this..
So, i'm thinking. The debates are thursday and expectations for her are so low that she could seriously show up, shout "USA USA" and she'll be declared the winner. No offense to the ladies, but if this were a man, he'd have been laughed all the way to a part of russia she can't see from alaska.
THEN, the republican campaign is trying to limit the freewheeling discussion on the new debate....
so..it looks like the debate has this as the requirement: Palin has to show up and appear, well..not oblivious and ignorant and biden will have to show up appearing like a savant. I don't see how this is fair treatment to anyone, the american public, palin or biden.

Quote:
The vice presidential debate will resemble the traditional presidential event. However, the New York Times reported last Sunday that the McCain campaign sought to limit the time for freewheeling discussion in the vice presidential debate.
Advisers to Palin were reportedly worried that format could put the Alaska governor -- a relatively inexperienced debater -- on the defensive most of the evening.
