Palin's Debate Strategy: Attack Obama
In her debate Thursday, every answer she gives will include a dig at Obama. She will practically ignore Biden because she can't go toe to toe with him. She thinks she can get a dig in on Obama because he won't be there, and make Biden try to defend Obama all night. Biden needs to attack both McCain and Palin, and use McCain's decision to select her as his running made a sign of McCain's judgment.

1. May be her strategy (or tactics)...
but without a writer and a teleprompter, she's still screwed.

2. Well it seems that Biden attacks McCain more than Palin on the stump
Why would Palin not attack Obama as well?

Unless the question is specifically "how do you feel / what would you do"? I fail to see a problem in the approach Palin may take in the debate.

4. Palin was awful in her interview with Katie Couric
Almost incoherent. And that's WITH notes right at her feet!

Imagine how she'll be in a huge hall, with hundreds of eyes focused in on her, the lights all on her, and no cheering crowds. Just her talking, alone, with everyone just listening. Not to mention the pressure.

5. I think this is right.
But she will be so weak on substance, that it won't matter.
