One point about the speeches that hasn't be stressed

[central scrutinizer]

Obama wrote his own speech - those were his words, his ideas, his passion

I don't know if Biden wrote his speech

Palin read her speech - it was the words of a male partisan hack, she may have added some touches and probably agrees with the ideas, but could she come up with them on her own? The debates may tell although it might be easier to hide the radio in her clothes than it was in *'s suit.

I doubt if McW wrote the speech he is going to deliver tonight.

[Mrs. Overall]

1. Yes, she simply read something that was written for her.

When will we hear Sarah without the teleprompter?

[BonnieJW]

2. At the VP debate.

I would have her strip searched for a wire. You know W had one.

[Overseas]

3. For debates, the RNC team will give her some standard put downs--

You think you're a know-it-all, don't you? Kind of phrases.
Sorry but experienced senators like you didn't stop us from getting hit. That kind of thing.
Emotionally intense phrases of the resentful variety. Regular folks vs. scholars. Popular kids vs. Geeks.

She will have a few chosen slam downs and they'll also give her some paragraphs to memorize.
When a topic is vaguely energy related, roll these out. Folks expect you to know about energy, so go ahead and expand on that.

The RNC will equip her in their non-debating style. She can learn the canned stuff that cuts off questions and talks out the clock. She's a true politician and very ambitious.

4. Another thing that hasn't been discussed "John McCain is the only one who has FOUGHT."

Again questioning the Dems patriotism. The place went crazy. Sorry, but she is a bitch of the highest order.
