Palin is about to take the exam without having taken the class. Whoever first said it has the situation about right.

Since she knows jack compared to Biden or really any legitimate candidate for national office, I predict she throws the folksy into overdrive - droppin' g's, usin' oddball expressions, makin' analogies to ice hockey and huntin'. 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:

*I do not mean to offend, but the quotation seems to be relevant to my thinking on how the GOP works sometimes at election time.

The Daily Show clip was hysterical.
"Tuchus" - It's a great word to say out loud.

Yeah, but "tribe" was not.

With the proviso, not widely understood, that jews consider themselves from tribes ... and so it's not really as derrogatory as it likely came across.

I was interesting that the person who was in the most denial was also denying her head its true hair color.

Watch for a lot of blame about Palin's debate performance to fly towards the moderator.

You mean the one who is writing a book entitled "The Obama Age"?

Or credit.

I predict 1) She won't be allowed to stick to canned statements; and 2) all of the questions will be geared towards foreign affairs and the economy, and none of the questions will be geared towards her supposed strengths, i.e., her anti-choice views, her hockeymomishkeit and her pro-family agenda of belligerence, drug addiction and promiscuity.

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?
