What If McCain Sends Palin to Debate Obama on Friday?

Posted on 09/24/2008 3:58:43 PM PDT by paul in cape

Just a thought. Sen. McCain can stay in Washington to work on a bipartisan bill to deal with Fannie-Gate, and sends Sarah to debate Barry. Since the only knock against Gov. Palin is her inexperience, and she'd be only "a heartbeat away from the presidency," sending the Governor in to debate the messiah would be rich, and the most watched TV show since the Super Bowl. I believe Gov. Palin has the stones to pull it off, but what would Barry do?

It’s on foreign policy...not Palin’s strong suit.

Compared to the community organizer from Chicago New York Hawaii Indonesia Kenya Washington D.C.?

I think McCain should either offer to send Palin or just have her show up in his place.

There is no downside. If she does poorly, big deal she is the VP candidate stepping in on very short notice.

If she holds her own or beats Barry it would be a disaster for Obama.

If Barry refuses to debate her he will look like the wimpy, little girly-man he is.

The rules don’t matter, Obama can waive them if he has the guts.

As I said on another thread:

Palin needs to be in Washington with McCain every step of the way.

First, that is what suspending his campaign means.

Secondly, otherwise it would look like she’s not worthy of being in on the big-boy stuff when it’s crunch time.

Third, she’ll get an education she won’t forget and real fast.
