Palin Watching Debate at N.C. Pizzeria

[tanyev]

The Post's Perry Bacon Jr. is in Greenville, N.C., where he filed a pool report on GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin watching the presidential debate. A modified version of his report follows:

The Alaska governor arrived at Boli's on the Boulevard here in Greenville about ten minutes before 9 p.m. She had changed from her suit and high heels into jeans, an Eastern Carolina purple windbreaker and brown shoes. She shook hands and posed for pictures for about ten minutes. She then sat down at a table with N.C. Republican Sen. Richard Burr, his wife, former senator Bob Dole and the mayor of Charlotte. She dined on pizza and spaghetti.

During the debate, when McCain spoke, Palin exclaimed "yes" when he answered a bailout question by talking about energy independence. She had a pen and paper out and occasionally took notes, but mostly either watched the screen or typed on her mobile phone.

And she was at a karaoke bar for the last one. I'm guessing neither one of these were her choices.

A few friendly folk to just say Hi?

2. "Republican Sen. Richard Burr, his wife, former senator Bob Dole"

Burr married Bob Dole? Hmm.

As for Palin, I'll bet she was texting on her phone to the campaign HQ: "So which one is my running mate - the old guy or that colored fellow?"
And they kept replying, "Just don't speak!"

3. Why is she trying to ruin people's dinner?

4. Smart move - if some random voter asks her a difficult question and she says something stupid -

it doesn't count! Pizza places don't count, right? (At least that's what McCain said.)
