If you're in NYC and looking for a Republican-friendly locale to watch the VP debate tomorrow...
UPDATE: The lovely Pretty Numbers has informed me that the address for one of the parties was incorrect (I got it directly from the club email so don't blame me). Jake's Saloon is on 7th Avenue, not 9th. I've updated it over on Rightevents.com as well.
UPDATE: The still-lovely Pretty Numbers emails that Jake's has opened a 9th avenue location so please disregard the last update. It's on 9th Avenue.

I think you're gonna need some friends around for this one, unless she's had the last week or so having the most intensive foot not in mouth training of her life. I hope she has, because I think this debate is going to matter more than it has for a long time. It would be a shame for it to be a "who gaffed the least" fest.
How does anyone feel about how the first debate went? IMO a good debate can gain the winner anything between 5 and 10 percent of the vote. No?
Bryan:
Palin interviews have been 10 times better than Obama's (the Wizard of Ahs) and Biden( the man who believed Roosevelt appeared on TV in 1929).
Her job in the interviews is not to answer trick questions but to repeat the McCain message over and over. In that, she excels

McCain and Palin have to start blaming Democrats for the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac situation or there's no hope.

Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at October 1, 2008 06:48 PMJake, I remember when my dad 'cured' me of Obama's habit of saying 'er' and 'um' and 'ah', but the last debate showed that he does it not because of poor autocue reading (as people said), but because that's how he speaks. Rush does the same thing as well. I don't like it, but I wouldn't say it's a vote loser, unless it seems shifty.
Biden is also somebody I find deeply unimpressive due to his gaffes. That's why I'm looking forward to this debate. I think Palin can only have improved from those, well frankly, rabbit in the headlight moments in her previous interviews. As to repeating the message over and over, I'm not so sure that is enough. McCain seemed best in his debates when he started onto something new. IMO he hadn't anticipated needing as much to say as he should have needed. Luckily for both of them, nobody really struck any killer blows, and they were (again IMO) left with a muted draw. Poll numbers for Obama this week could easily be turned by the next debate, no?
Is Lisa Black going to eat all the Ice Cream again?
