My advice to Palin in the debate.
We all know you're going to be stunning in the debate. I have no doubt that we'll be hearing some amazing, jaw-dropping things from you. My advice is to "go for it." Get your points out even if it means being somewhat rude - people LOVE that stuff from the "pit bull"! Follow the lead of your mentor John McCain and let Joe know you won't be talked down to - in fact, don't even look at the guy. That'll show him! And if you can correct him forcefully every once in a while - you know, pull a Reagan - "There you go again, Joe." People EAT THAT STUFF UP!

Don't forget to have three or four or ten really personal stories to share with the audience - you can't spend too much time with that. People need to know you're "just like them" because that gives them confidence in you. I mean, who CAN'T envision themselves a heartbeat away from being President of the United States? It's like a dream! Or was that a nightmare . . . I can't remember. Anyway, the more time you spend on little anecdotes (those are like little stories relating personal events) the less time you have to deal with the economy or health care or all those really confusing things.

And finally, don't let people forget why you're there: you're a fundamentalist Christian, white hocky mom. Make sure you HIT ALL THOSE POINTS. Mention faith - preferably multiple times. Remind people of the war on Christianity and how you're one of the suffering victims. Wear the 4-inch heals and skirt - NO PANTSUITS. The fish earings are a must. The base is waiting for the code words, so skip the blah blah about foreign policy and all that boring stuff and practice the bible references. They need to hear this. And think about how many converts you could make!

Good luck Sarah! Follow these simple steps and you will make an incredible impression on the entire world.

4. Speaking in tongues would be a big help, no translator needed for non-english speaking viewers
assuming they speak jibberish that is

7. Oh! That'd be great, tho. A translator - maybe Todd.
She could do the hamalama shamalama stuff and Todd could give the interpretation - just like at home!

8. I'm guessing one of the strategies of Pailure/McLiar will be for Pailure to steal the "change" card
and play it heavy against Biden on Thursday. Biden has loads of experience and years of wisdom under his belt, but Pailure will try to play that against him on the national stage and work to prove to the viewers that she and McLiar are the "real" agents of "change."

Although this is utter bullshit, the way that she presents it could be tough for Biden to fight. She has never been to DC, she is going to present a bunch of "new" views, and her mere presence will be a "change."

Biden must come armed with the anticipation that he is going to be blamed on being more of the same, much as Obama painted the Liar last night. McLiar kept saying, I've been there, I was in xyz, and I've seen how this is done. That worked in Obama's favor in regards to proving that Obama would be a more true advocate and means for change, but Biden must be careful not to fall into the same frame McLiar did simply by either playing up his experience too much or by responding to Gwen's questions in a manner that draws too harsh a contrast between his experience and Pailure's fresh inexperience which could be misinterpreted as "change."

Certainly experience is beneficial, but I'm fairly certain that one of Pailure's top strategies will be to attack this strength of Biden's, along with it, she will attack Obama at any chance she has.
