"Palin is one of the best debaters in American Politics"

[woolldog]

says Obama advisor David Plouffe. :rofl:

"David Plouffe spoke to reporters just now, my colleague Victoria McGrane reports, previewing the debate.

After repeatedly calling Palin first “an extremely good debater,” then a “great” one, at the end he ramped it up to “Gov. Palin is one of the best debaters in American politics,” at which point the press gaggle interrupted him with its laughter. “No, she is! Her 2006 debate, she knew where she wanted to take every question, and so I think she’ll be relentlessly on message tonight and again I’m sure she’ll have any number of biting and witty one-liners but our focus is on the person sitting at home in Canton, Ohio, tonight, Akron, Ohio tonight, struggling economically. Who is delivering a message about an agenda that is going to most positively impact their lives,” he said."

1. Yeah, good luck spinning the people into believing that one...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. I love that the media broke up laughing.

That's good stuff.

[Wapsie B]

3. I like the idea of setting the bar high for her,

as it needs to be for anyone running for VP.

[Cattledog]

4. She was allowed to use 3x5 cards with talking points then.

This is now.

[Rocknrule]

5. She's a master debater, all right

:evilgrin:

[MissMarple]

10. Shame on you.

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

6. I'm afraid she's gonna stomp Biden.

Biden is just so likely to say one dumb thing after another, while she has that incisive intelligence and encyclopedic knowledge of foreign affairs and quick wit. It's gonna be a debacle for the Democrats, I fear.

[KansDem]

7. IT'S TRUE!!! All I know is that *I* wouldn't want to be debating her!!!

No how; no way! :hide:

;)

[Bubbha Jo]

8. I haven't seen anything impressive in her old debate tapes.

[jillan]

9. Biden's publicly said it too.

Sorry - Obama camp - we see right thru you :P

[L0oniX]

11. I hear she's been coached by an expert...

[Fleshdancer]

12. You can hear her awesome debate skills from Russia!

Thanks to Sarah's incredible debate skills, Putin is too afraid to rear his head in Alaska air space. That's a fact!

[CrispyQ]

22. I think what she meant to say was

"The air space in my head is bigger than Alaska."

[Arrowhead2k1]

13. Lay it on REAL thick!

:rofl:

[melody]

14. Talk about hiding her light under a bushel

You coulda fooled me.

[HughMoran]

15. She's the best debater in all history!!

OMG!! She's the God of debaters - never defeated - like a heavyweight champ!!!


OMG!!111!

[donco6]

16. Yes! She's so good, she's SCARY!

:scared:

[HughMoran]

17. Really scary!!11!!

Maddenly scarey!!


I can't bear to see poor Joe Biden get ripped limb from limb!!

:scared:

[woolldog]

18. Oh no!

[Curtland1015]

19. No joke! This is HUGH!

You guyz! I'm SERIES!

:scared:

[HughMoran]

25. HUGH!!11!!!11!!

OMG!!11!!

[secondwind]

20. Thank you David, for raising expectations.........we needed that.

:)

[northernlights]

21. not only is she an absolutely brilliant debater

her hair is down, so she's wearing an earpiece.

Those clever rethugs are leaving nothing to chance. Not that they have anything to worry about, what with her incisive wit and brilliant command of the issues of the day.

Biden is toast. I am sad. This is a bitter, bitter night. I think I'll start drinking now...:spray:

[BrklynLiberal]

23. That is good. By setting the bar higher, she has to live up to expectations.

A low set of expectations makes it easier for her to look good, no matter what she does.

[WCGreen]

24. She is, the Master Debater....
