Palin lack of political awareness HAS to be a rope-a-dope for debates, lowering expectations....

[uponit7771]

...so that she'll exceed them when she answers 1 question out of 2k3j4n234 correctly.


I don't believe she's as disconnected as she has shown during the interviews with Gibson and Couric


Thx

1. 2k3j4n234 questions?

Is that how you write a Brazillion numerically?

[uponit7771]

5. lol....somethin like that :0

[Jackpine Radical]

2. That's crazy.

They can't afford to have her look like more of an idiot than she actually is.

[uponit7771]

7. To me she's showing the "dont breed or drive a car" type of stupidity, she has 5 kids and

...hasn't ran over anyone else...

She can't be as stupid as she is portraying herself

[LaydeeBug]

3. yep. Once AGAIN, the gop has managed to lower expectations

they do this shit all the time.

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. So she's orchestrated a massive drop-off in her approval and made herself

a national laughingstock so that she can exceed expectations in a debate.

Gotcha. "It's a trap." We know, o do we ever know that it is a trap trap trap trap.

:rofl:

6. Assuming you're not being sarcastic.. She's a dumbass..

She's also a professional liar.

I still think she will NOT participate in the debate regardless if it's delayed or not.

10. She couldn't have grunted her way past debates in Alaska...

[tridim]

11. She wasn't debating Joe Biden in Alaska.

And she wasn't debating issues she doesn't understand.

[uponit7771]

12. true

8. There wont be a vp debate, this whole bailout crisis cancelation was to push off the Debate schedule

After she has performed so terribly on Couric and Gibson, they realized there is no way in hell she can handle even a softball debate.

So McCain did the only thing he could, try to cancel this fridays debate and have it moved to the VP debate and then reschedule the VP debate for a later time, which would either mean it never occurs or it happens too late for it to make any difference.

9. But she's the dope who's being roped by her own campaign.

I agree that the expectations for her at the debates are extremely low. Like Bush, or worse actually, she clearly doesn't have a firm grasp of the issues. She will do what she did in the interviews and repeat lines that she has memorized.

The benefit of the debates (to Palin) is they usually don't ask follow-up questions like they do in interviews, so she will come off looking better than she did with Couric or Gibson who's follow ups really tripped her up. She won't have to explain her answers to anyone.. well, except Biden who HOPEFULLY will ask her to elaborate on comments that she makes.. back them up with some facts in some way.

13. I don't think it is tactical, she is just dumb
