Take a page from Campbell Brown's book and ask politely (and like you really want to know the answer and not just hear yourself say the question) what she learned while leading the Alaska National Guard into that war against Saskatchewan.

This has got to be the dumbest advice I've ever heard.

Asking Gov. Palin such a stupid question, especially since Senator Biden has never led any military organization into any war, or into anything else, would open him up to an infinite number of crushing comebacks from the Governor.

Leftists are such dopes. But they think they are so much smarter than anyone else.

This author is a debater?

Please, spare me.

Dahlia Lickdick can’t be her real name?

We still don’t know who turned Obama down for the VP pick.

But that doesn’t change the fact that two years ago she was the mayor of a town of 6,000, crusading against dirty books at the local library

Ahem, that doesn’t change the fact that she handed the Republican choice for Governor his head on a platter and defeated a former Governor running as the Dem. These people keep under estimating her and they’re gonna get a big surprise.

Should we see if we can probe her personal life and see if we can find some dirt on the Dahlia?

Sounds almost like a Bond girl, doesn’t it?

I know like any of the other male politicians write their own speeches? Give me a break!

So this longtime parliamentary debater (and longer-time female) is going to humbly offer you a few tips on how to debate a girl.

Dahlia, dahling. That's SO politically incorrect. You don't debate a "girl." You debate a woman. Or, if you like, a grrl. But "girl" is so, well, SEXIST.

C-Span (cspan.org) is supposed to have scheduled a telecast of Gov. Palin's debate with former Gov. Knowles on Sunday 9/07.

The left is desperate! It really makes me feel good! The left has shown how vicious and evil it really is! Finally normal American people will have a chance to vote for someone who they admire!

Yeah, Biden just thinks you’re a little girl who writes for Slate, but even if he does listen to you, he won’t be able to help himself.
He’s going to have a Biden moment, where he says something monumentally stupid.

Therein lies the problem - for Old Joe. He can’t be anyone else BUT the a$$hole he has been all his life. He will get smart, condescending and sexist, because that is who he is! He, like most elite Delawareans, is a closet rascist. I say that from personal experience. But that is another post.

“This just might be the high point of the election when Slow Joe gets beaten alive. He might not even know he’s been made toast.”

I want to see Palin field dress him and fillet him, so at the end of the debate he’s a talking skeleton and pile of steaks on a platter.

If Palin can somehow manage to mention the word “plagiarism” it will cause Joe to come completely unhinged!
