DO NOT LOWER Palin"S EXPECTATIONS!
Edited on Sun Sep-28-08 08:00 PM by blueinindiana
Obama is smart by saying Palin is a good at debates.

Bush expectations where so lowered during his first debate with Gore all he had to do was say his name and he won!



Palin will be well PREPPED and will be wearing an EAR-PIECE!

So do not lower her expectations please!


Obama needs to get the word out she is good at debates until Thursday.

3. Agreed, and Biden continues to refer to her as a "smart, skilled politician." nt

4. By all accounts, she did do well in her previous debate

Also, the format in this week's debate will not require much more than memorized mantras given to her by her handlers.

It is an expectations game. Some of us are having so much fun ridiculing her that we forget that we are lowering her expectations in the process.

6. Obama cannot say that, since he hasn't seen her debate.
It would be just too obvious what he was doing.

Also, I do not think we are lowering her expectations, her handlers are doing a fine job on their own.

They are the ones who requested a shorter response time. I can't wait!

7. Well, I hear you, but pointing out that she sucks on a Democratic forum is not the same..
as lowering expectations within the campaigns and the media.

The Obama camp will never lower the expectations, so we're safe there.

8. very carefully
A thought that came to mind ...if she is as dunb as she has been acting the last few weeks how did she get as far as she has? OR is she just that good an actor and they have set us up for the BIG surprise... I really don't think that any of them are that good but I am concerned that there will be a serious amount of overconfidence....

11. Check out the Big Brain on Palin!
Remember, she has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined. She's like a, I don't know, genetically-enhanced Super Debater! Did you know that the only picture in her office is one of Stephen Douglass? She attended, like, five colleges, you know. And that was before she got her bachelor's! I'll bet Joe Biden didn't attend that many colleges! And didja know her nickname is "Barracuda"? What's Joe Biden's nickname? Does he even have one? Prolly not.

They should just award the debate to Palin by default. No point in even holding it. In fact, Sarah Palin should just move into Dick Cheney's office now. Why even hold the election?
