Her handlers had her prepared for everything. That was the plan. Kudos to her for at least being able to stick to the script.<BR/><BR/>Substantively, she was very weak. Nonresponsive, and not insightful.

Even an innocuous, "Are you ready for this, Senator?" would've and could've been picked apart by pundits and critics.

In the Pres. debate Obama kept referring to McCain as "John," and many considered it disrespectful. Therefore, Palin asked "Can I call you Joe" to avoid the appearance of disrespect. When Biden ALWAYS called her "Governor" and never "Sarah," she appropriately reverted to calling him "Senator." Interestingly enough, Biden ALWAYS referred to McCain as "John" last night. And did you notice, Palin always referred to Obama by name and never by title? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Show the same level of respect they do to your counterpart, and the same level of disrespect they do to his running mate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126825064641092276.post-6720456031821783882008-10-03T07:39:00.000-04:002008-10-03T07:39:00.000-04:00That worked on you?
