She's going for the I'd-like-to-have-a-beer-with-her thing that worked for George W.
Timely and courtesy of Random Quote of the Day, the MO for Palin.*

Spoiler:
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.

It also helps to have an audience at least somewhat predisposed to the viewpoints being hammered.

I just want one question to be asked of both VP candidates:

In your personal view, and just giving a simple number, approximately how old is this planet?

Iffil seems to be getting some guff about her pro-Obama book.

Or to put it another way:

"The Flintstones: Fact or Fiction?"

No, I don't want it to be presented as mocking. Just ask straightforward.

Hell, for Palin, answering 6000 years would solidify a LOT of votes, so it might not actually be that bad of an answer (politically). I just want to see it put out there bluntly.

I think it is safe to suggest that the McCain may not have agreed to her moderating should they have known about it before hand.

Her answer would be:
"Well, Gwen, the Flintstones were, in fact, a real TV show on TV."

Beforehand? Was the book published this week?
