Palin heads to 'debate camp' in Arizona

<snip>

The original plan was for Palin to prepare in St. Louis, where the vice presidential debate will be held Thursday. Instead, she has already been preparing in a Philadelphia hotel for four days with advisors. She will now get ready for the debate at McCain’s rustic creek-side home — what a top aide calls "debate camp."

The aide, who's part of the team prepping Palin, tells CNN they decided to take her to debate camp there because it is an "invigorating and enjoyable place to prepare for Thursday."

"SP {Sarah Palin} loves it, and has her kids and Todd coming," wrote the aide in an e-mail, and that "John McCain himself came up with the idea.”

...

But one adviser involved in preparing Palin for her faceoff with Biden insists this narrative — that they're “squeezing charm out of her” — misses the point.

“It’s really hard,” said this advisor, who said Palin is still trying to get up to speed on foreign policy issues she has never faced before, from North Korea to other hot spots around the globe.

1. Sarah is a FABULOUS debater. I fully expect her to blow Biden out of the water!

That's my story and I"m sticking to it. Pass it on.

2. VEEP Camp was last week at the UN.

Debate Camp this week. Nothing like cramming at the last minute.

3. Its kinda like cramming for the bar exam...

after having failed out of 6th grade. This whole palin thing is laughable. Sad... but laughable.

4. No-Win For Biden

If Biden takes it easy on Palin, they will say she did a great job.

If Biden attacks Palin, the press will attack him for beating up on a girl.

I hope Biden plays it by mainly attacking McCain.

8. Agreed. He needs to go after McCain and Bush. Ignore her.

5. Will McCain stop by -- if he can remember which house?

6. I stuck a Moose horn in my....

Oh, I'd better not.

7. Her handlers, begging for resignation, want to show McCain how bad it is.

They've come to the conclusion that she is hopeless and they don't know what else to do other than to get McCain to watch her in action himself. He may even be able to see the problem, (But probably not), and will ask for the resignation so he can get Lieberman in there. Palin may not get embarrassed about her lack of awareness, but McCain has got to see the problem when 50 Million people watch this stuttering motormouth tries to answer the most basic policy questions.
