Although I support the Republican ticket, I must say that I am somewhat leary of the debate tomorrow. After having seen how Palin floundered in the Couric interview I have reservations about how she will do. I think if they just allow her to be herself and not be restrained by the party line of what the campaign wants her to say she will do better. I think if they will just let her be herself she can handle the opponent and the moderator (dispite the newly revealed bias of the moderator).
It will be interesting. I hope that she pulls this out and does well but I do have reservations. I think her problem is just the opposite of Obama's. Obama does well from a script but not ad-libing and she does better off the cuff than by reading from a prepared script. Of course she is not debating Obama though.
Let's just wait and see how this goes. I think it could be a defining moment. I feel Obama is on the cusp of pulling this election out. Just a feeling.

The good thing for Palin is that expectations are very low, so she will like win the expectations game with even a passable performance. Biden has a tendency to commit gaffes that would normally doom a Republican.
Recommended Republican strategy:
Let Palin be Palin.
Recommended Democrat strategy:
Don't let Biden be Biden.
I hear that Biden is good democratically speaking. I don't know much about him though.
Also, I hear the 8 years ago, McCain was running for the presidency and dropped out after getting slammed with a nasty rumor. Has anyone else hear about this. If not, let me know and I will fill you in on it.
Do fill us in, Isabelle.
Without knowing exactly what you are referring to, I can only say that I much prefer the John McCain of eight years ago when he rightly took on the haughty and self-righteous Bob Jones crowd. Since then, he has had to kneel and heel to them. He needs the so-called 'values' voters in order to shore up a religious base that he shown a dislike for in the past. I don't like his new mask and prefer the original John McCain.
If you're talking about secret liaisons with a secretary. That one was debunked long ago.
If you're talking about the Keating five. He was exonerated long ago by Democrat investigators.
McCain dropped out eight years ago because he lost straight forward. Nothing else.
Rumors get thrown into all elections everywhere at every level. You have to ignore them unless proof is offered.
