Is Palin Dumbing Us Down?

| | Comments (25)

You have to wonder if Republican running mate Sarah Palin has been scamming us. She has come across so clueless in her interviews with Katie Couric that you have to suspect it's all an act intended to lower expectations for tonight's debate.

Or maybe Palin is really that dumb. Tonight will tell.

Come back here for a new thread
at 9pm EST to live blog the debate.

  5. Are all her 5 children and her future son-in-law and husband going to be in the audience?

    I bet Tina Fay will be watching and taking notes and recording the debate.

  6. I've even watched those Alaska debates and she was dependent on cards, could play one debater off against another, and had a bad case of the "cute little lady". As to her popularity. If you give someone a $1,000 plus increase in their income they will probably like you.

  8. Ouch. They just showed her coherant commentary on the Exxon Baker decision followed by the Couric interview where she couldn't name a case with which she disagreed.

    Makes you wonder who is REALLY the governor of Alaska.

  10. After listening to all the pundits, I think there may be a chance that Palin, may actually surprise everyone by being quite snarky ( b*tch -like) and playing it off as being a "maverick."... no need for details, I am a strong and focused woman...."I don't blink."

  11. It's pretty obvious that the populace was dumbed down long before Palin came on the scene.

  14. nanny.......well, of course they are.....and they both got close......but in the end, close wasnt enough and they lost to a big dummy.

    ie......calling them stupid probably does not accomplish anything.........

  15. Gore lost, because it was close enough for them to steal it.

    He, nonetheless.......lost.

    I hope that your faith is rewarded with a democratic win.

  18. I don't have to vote now. McCain has conceded Michigan. My vote won't matter. Hell, I can just relax and enjoy my birthday on Nov. 4th. By the way, I got anothrer mailing from the Michigan Democrats today. 2 days in a row for that. 3 times in the last 2 weeks. BTW, I'm sure that wasn't Obama's bus I saw. The news van wasn't following that bus for any reason. Tonight, I passed a news 3 van. A reporter was getting ready to do a live report in front of a compant called "Informs" tonight at 6:00. This morning, a 14 year-boy was hit and killed while riding his bicycle to school. It happened just about where I saw the news reporter and cameraman set up. So, I'm assuming they were reporting on the accident.
