[My Favorite Headache]

The make or break moment will be Thursday with the Palin/Plugs debate. If she comes off clueless and over her head...it will be the final nail in this ridiculous campaign. McCain has a temper but he has yet to use it against Democrats and Obama. The only thing we will have going for us in October will be the greatest advertising campaign against the socialist commie in the history of elections.

McCain’s team had better come out roaring over the next 14 days...if they wait...it will be too late.

While that may not be the "make or break moment," it's going to be critical that Palin NOT screw up. Merely a draw will give McCain a chance to recover. But she cannot have a Couric moment where she has to say, "Let me get back to you on that."

My fear is that Biden will pull out of his pocket some obscure bills he passed 20 years ago that she can't possibly be prepared to discuss or respond to.

But we all know, HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH PALIN:

she could blow any and all of these questions out of the park if she could just answer for herself! But every answer has to be synchronized with McCain's view, which isn't conservatism. So she can't pull a Rush Limbaugh and just answer every question based on old-fashioned conservatism---because that might put her at odds with McCain.
