The bar has really been lowered for Palin's performance

[DeeDeeNY]

It might not be as much of a trainwreck as we're expecting. It just looks too easy.

1. Her voice is irritating

That alone will turn a lot of people off. She can practice forever, but she will never beat Biden in "off the cuff" responses. He is seasoned in politics, she is not. Joe is proned to making a gaff or two because he says what he feels rather than what the people want to hear. I think that is why people like him.

2. You're right

We should not expect it to be easy, or a shoo-in, or that the Frosty Dominatrix is going to run from the podium with her teary face in her paws.

I actually thought McCain did an okay job--sure there were flubs, repetition, moments of awkwardness . . . aww, who am I kidding? McSame SUCKED!

3. Yeah. I wonder if they've already received the questions/topics

But here is why Palin will epically fail:

She cannot resist throwing in absolutely nasty, Ann Coulterlike remarks when she is speaking. And when she does it, it throws any good will someone may have had for her out the window.

4. She's going to be exposed on "thanks, but no thanks!"

They will hang that line around her neck like an albatross.

[TNMOM]

5. no one will expect her to win on intelligence. but we'll all be surprised at how how vindictive

bitter and cocky she is. She will find a way to fail, no matter what. I'm certain of it.

6. She's been getting tutored by Lieberman

Should be interesting!

7. I think she would have withered if it were her answering all those questions last night.

She is getting her head stuffed with so much info that it might be fun watching her try to process answers in the VP debate. But that's just wishful thinking. She is being told not to answer the questions and when asked about a certain subject be very vague Time will eventually run out and we will declare you the winner in the wrap up shows.

8. Shes going to pull a robocop

too many directives and answers, brain overload.

As general rule her problem is they are giving her the answer to test questions, not an understanding of the content. Thats why people say she sounds like a kid faking a book report. Shes a cliff note VP

[DeeDeeNY]

9. Laura Bush gave her the worst compliment ever

Said Palin doesn't know much about foreign policy, but she's a "quick study".

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

10. I think they're now digging a ditch for the bar

Did you hear that the McCain/Palin camp is trying to negociate a "fixed monologue" style of debate?

As in NO interactions. Biden and Palin never address each other.

[rockymountaindem]

11. They could chuck "the bar" into a fiery volcano

It won't make up for the fact that she's an idiot.

[HereSince1628]

12. Yes, forget the bar and lower the boom on her. n/t
