2. what are the odds of this actually happening...?

My money is on cancellation.

3. Two bits she cancels. Anyone? nt

4. She actually presents herself well on camera... If she can deflect

all the questions as she's done to date and the moderator does not press or allow follow-up, then she might do quite well. Oh, and naturally Wolf Blitzer is going to moderate... That probably cinches it as a "give-me" for O'Donnell. :eyes:

6. We should let Andy Richter moderate. Apparently, he has faster reflexes. n/t

[nevergiveup]

5. The expectations will be so low for her

all she has to do is complete one full sentence and the media will declare her the victor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Right on.

Just getting her own name right will give her the edge.

[gristy]

8. That is my thinking also.

People will be tuning in for a spectacle, and they will see only a modestly competent individual.
