Will the GOP try to back out of the VP debate, claiming that Gwen Ifill is "biased" and it won't be
"fair"?


As it stands... that night will be the ONLY night that the American people will get to hear from her in her own words....


(Unless they put a hidden earpiece in her ear like they did with Shrub)

1. The scary thing is that earpieces are so small now that you can't see them unless
you get really close.

My mother wears hearing aids and you'd never know it. And she has short hair, unlike Sarah 'Banana-Clip' Palin!

We should insist that both be swept for electronics before the debate.

And I think Gwen Ifill will do the same terrible job she's done in hte past as give Palin a bunch of softball questions, so how could they complain about Ifill?

2. Yup, yup... I'm laying even money that they will back out of the debate.
Probably won't be able to get a babysitter for that evening.
Betcha.

5. Her moose will come down with some illness and she'll have to stay home and care for it.
Or maybe Bristol will have some friends over that night, and Sarah feels she needs to stay home and chaperone.

;-)

6. My money is on no debate at all.... if there IS debate, she definitely will have an earpiece and be
fed the answers....

That's all part of the training she's undergoing right now.

3. damned if they do and damned if they don't.
If they do back out, Biden should say he wants to go forward and debate Bob Barr's VP pick.

4. I sure hope they do. Talk about an ass kicking.
The barracuda is too chickens-hit to face Biden?

Oh yeah, that will play well, very well.
