We all need to calm down here just a tad. Instantaneously, the expectations have shifted from "she's going to bomb so hard and it's going to be the greatest moment in politics ever!" to "oh crap! She's going to deliver a stellar performance and it's because she's going to cheat!" We should at least wait for a few questions to be fielded before we start worrying about whether or not she's getting help.

Even then, I think it's unlikely that she'll try it, but that's just me.

Having everyone shit their pants before the debate starts is a good thing. There is nowhere for GAF to go but up this time.

Latest Palin trainwreck up on CBS News: :lol :lol :lol :lol

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4496829n

Couric: What do you think is the best and worst thing that Dick Cheney has done as vice president?

Palin: Worst thing, I guess that would have been the duck-hunting accident, where you know, that was an accident. And that I think that was made into a caricature of him. And that was kind of unfortunate.

So, the best thing though, he's shown support, along with George W. Bush, of our troops. And I've been there when George Bush has spoken to families of those who have suffered greatly, those who are serving in the military. I've been there when President Bush has embraced those families and expressed the concern and the sympathy speaking for all of America in those times. And for Dick Cheney to have supported that effort of George Bush's. I respect that.

Dude is trying to get some tail!

"Under Democratic presidents abortion rates go down, and that's my number one issue"

Yeah right 20 year old man, you're just trying to get some by appearing to be sensitive women-conscious guy!

Well, the exposing of an earpiece would lead to great hilarity as well.. just think about it. A campaign could not possibly tank as fast. :lol

I don't think they're risking it tbh.

That's probably the single most harmless thing that Cheney has done while in office, relatively speaking.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Your worst thing that Cheney has done is A HUNTING ACCIDENT?:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

At least then he shot somebody that knew there was a gun nearby!

For the record, if they allow any interplay at all between the candidates, I think the most effective thing Biden can do is question "why" or "why not" when she makes a point or attack.

There are some nervous, jumpy bitches in here.

Assume there was an earpiece. On the other end would still be the same idiots who've run McCain's campaign so badly that the old white guy with twenty-five years of experience is losing to the young black guy.

I can't help but notice that his best thing appears to be that he supports something Bush did. I suppose she hadn't been given much about Cheney yet.

Dick Cheney will shoot you in the face, then make you go on tv and apologize for inconveniencing HIM. That's just brutal. PEACE.

I doubt that there is going to be a wire used, but I'd bet anything they are gonna sexy up Palin as much as possible. Hair down? Check. I am not going to be surprised if she has a nice black dress on and a few nice accessories. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she had contacts in tonight.

But Biden does look like a badass. I think Sarah Palin might be too nice for politics...which isn't a bad thing in some aspects I guess.

The best that could happen is for Biden to make some silly slip-up, and then to laugh along with the audience at it. I wouldn't put it past him to stage a couple of them, just to play to the "human" angle that Palin so clearly excels at at the expense of any other redeeming qualities.

You do realize it's all a ploy so that when she gets elected all the liberals will go insane and shoot themselves cause America elected such an idiot. Actually a brilliant plan to make the country more conservative.

Just wait until you see it. Like all Palin responses, the video is even better. Deer in headlights, "I can't believe I'm saying this" look on her face. :lol

Edit: referring to the duck one.

She's asked for her favorite VP, but then says "As far as candidates, Geraldine Ferraro, because she helped break the glass ceiling" and then Katie asked her for an actual VP. She hemmed and hawed and came up with Bush41 because he learned the position.

Biden immediately popped out Lyndon Johnson.

it's actually worse than when Couric asked her which ACTUAL elected vice president was her favorite, she picked George Bush Sr.

Holy crap @ Palin's VP answer. Just execrable. And then comes Biden with his intelligent and thoughtful answer to compound her idiocy.

So let's recap. So far she has been unable to name:

* Any books or magazines she reads
* Any supreme court rulings
* Any example of McCain fighting for financial regulation
* Any former vice president
* Anything bad Dick Cheney ever did

Did I miss anything?

My favorite part was how she was obviously fishing for anyone. When she arrives at Bush Sr. she does a little pop up and gets happy.

Hey at least she didn't pick Cheney! But yeah, her reasoning wasn't that good either.

No joke, she also prefaced it with, 'it would have to be a candidate actually'.




God, there's plenty to lol about ... let's not pretend she actually thought Ferraro was a VP
