Really? Gov Palin may have some unforeseen problems down the road but I think you can put your mind at ease about her debate and presentation skills. Her biggest asset is her willingness to tell the truth about Obama without fear.
It has nothing to do with telling the truth and message. It has to do with practice in debates. So far since she left office, she has been in a bubble of friendly interviews on FOX and speeches at Tea Party events. Going from that to a hostile stage with everyone gunning for you in front of the nation is different. Plus you know if another network other than FOX does the debate, they will be gunning for her rapid fire.
She doesn’t have too many debates under her belt. A three way in an AK general 5 years ago and a one on one with Biden 3 years ago. Practice makes perfect. We can see how well it has honed even some of the professional/career debaters in the GOP like Mittens. He sound better, speech wise, than he did 6 debates ago.
