She may do pretty well in the debate. If she just has answers that are coherent, she'll be exceeding expectations. Has the expectation bar ever been set this low?
I'll be in my bunk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Has she given a coherent answer to anything yet?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Call it anticipatory schadenfreude. I'm going to make popcorn.
I think I'm going to make schadenfreude pie.

Time to break out the Avenue Q soundtrack, methinks.

She may do pretty well in the debate.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... t breath ...hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
t edit Or, uh, was that serious? There is NO WAY. I actually feel sorry for the people whose job it is to prep her this week. I'm assuming that by the time the debate starts, those prep people will be BLIND DRUNK.

No, seriously. If she sticks to talking points and attacks Obama instead of answering questions directly, she could do okay. No, I don't think she will do great, but with low, low expectations, she may do okay. She did do debates when running for governor, so this isn't totally new to her.

If she doesn't drool all over herself or start speaking in tongues, the GOP will declare her victorious.

She'll go the bulldog with lipstick route, alternately simpering and saying aggressive things that appeal to the stupider conservatives. She's going to be the darling of certain sets by midnight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus if Biden is too aggressive, a billion right-wing pundits will spin it that "The mean Democrat was mean to Palin!" and that's all they'll talk about....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
She's going to be the darling of certain sets by midnight.
But she's already the darling of those particular sets. The debate isn't going to make anyone switch sides -- the people who love her will love her a tiny bit more, and the people who don't will find her even more eyerolly, but it's not going to make her the darling of anyone who didn't love her already.
