"Debate to pose a pair of challenges; Palin, Biden have much to balance" by Sasha Issenberg, Globe Staff | October 2, 2008
ST. LOUIS - Strategists say the struggle for the Delaware senator, who has been practicing near his home against Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, will be to demonstrate his authority, especially on international issues, in a way that contrasts favorably with Palin's but does not provoke sympathy for her.
Much as racial and generational differences influenced the candidates' behavior at last Friday's presidential debate, tonight's session is likely to be governed by its gender dynamics. Palin will be the first woman to participate in a general-election debate since 1984, when US Representative Geraldine Ferraro accused Vice President George H.W. Bush of a "patronizing attitude" by lecturing her about foreign affairs.That's how he will come across tonight -- at least, according to the agenda-pushing MSM -- and that is why SARAH will WIN!!!!!
Two national polls released yesterday showed growing skepticism of Palin's qualifications. In an Associated Press-Gfk survey, 25 percent of likely voters said they believe Palin has the right experience to be president, down from 41 percent just after the GOP convention in late August.
According to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center, a majority of the electorate says she is unprepared to become president, up from 37 percent last month. The results, wrote Pew's Andrew Kohut, demonstrate a "clear correlation between views of Palin's qualifications and support for McCain, which may be hurting the GOP candidate."
I don't like or listen to MSM polls anymore!
Meant to FORM and MAKE OPINIONS, not REPORT THEM!!!
Think Iraq and the Wall Street loot Out, folks!!!
While Palin has kept a low public profile, agreeing to only a handful of interviews and answering few questions from voters, she has been preparing aggressively in private, according to aides. Members of the campaign's policy arm have traveled with Palin continuously since she joined the ticket nearly five weeks ago, and have also introduced her to the wide range of informal advisers with whom McCain consults.
Earlier this week, McCain arranged for Palin, who held her own during debates while running for governor in 2006, to conduct her debate preparation at his
While the Pew poll showed that voters continue to view Palin favorably, her weakened credibility as a potential president appears to have particularly damaged McCain within the one demographic group where his strategists expected her presence to give him the biggest boost: Obama now leads McCain by 17 percentage points among women.
And yet the MSM continues and continues with the NARRATIVE LIE to SELL the STEALING of ANOTHER ELECTION!!!!!
Even as Republicans decry the aggressive media attention on Palin's credentials, they see tonight's debate as an opportunity for her to win over voters who remain fascinated with her personality as the hockey mom with five children. --more--"
I guess that would be me: Please Don't Fire Sarah Palin!
