Sarah Palin advisers prepped Christine O'Donnell for debate
By some reckonings, Christine O'Donnell had a bit of a rocky time at her Delaware Senate debate with Dem Chris Coons last night. She wouldn't say whether she believe in evolution, described Coons as a Marxist, and appeared to stumble over her answer on discretionary funding.

And yet, as Dana Milbank notes, in comparison to recent revelations about her and the national caricature that is the result, her performance was clearly an improvement.

If that's so, there are two people she has to thank for that, and they're both Sarah Palin advisers: Randy Scheunemann and Michael Goldfarb. They were the ones who took on the job of prepping O'Donnell for the debate, Goldfarb confirms.

Palin, in a conversation with O'Donnell, recommended the two men to her, and the O'Donnell campaign reached out to them to enlist their help, Goldfarb says. They spent the day with her yesterday in Wilmington getting her ready.

7. That explains the classic Palin moment
when she couldn't name a singe USSC case after she said she disagreed with some of them. The only thing she didn't do was wink, although the videos I've seen show a lot of eyelash batting and working her dimples.

10. obviously.....the same militant buzz words
Just like Palin, the same old meme "Obama agenda" "rubber stamp" and Constitution, which kills me cause they throw that piece of paper around like they wrote it or something...hell...I doubt they've even read it!

For the record, the robocalls from the Raese-WV campaign, the same language...I guess they all got the memo and the same personal trainer.

... Supreme Court decision that she blew - the same one that Palin blew from Katie Couric.
