But in recent days, Gov. Palin flubbed quasi-mock debates in New York City and Philadelphia, some operatives said.

Many analysts have suggetsed that she'll be prepped with one or two "key phrases" (think Reagan's, "There you go again") that she can use over and over whenever she is in trouble.

There are a lot of reports about the smell of fear emanating from McCain's camp about Thursday night.

I can hardly wait.

she dominated her Alaska debates, hopefully she can hold her own on Thursday

either way, the liberals are going to say she lost and twist her words, so I really am not going to put much stock into this thing...

Those were three-person debates, on issues she was much more comfortable talking about. She was able to let the two experienced people beat themselves up. Two-person debates are a different beast. Sometimes people shine. Other times, people fail. We'll see. The expectations for her are awfully low. If she shows up wearing the right clothes, it'll be spun as some kind of Palin win.

Her words aren't twisted already?

[Glenn]

Oh, those rotten, underhanded liberals!

It's a battle she can't win (the debates) with the media. So there's no point in taking much from it if your a conservative.

So if I read you right, you think her shortcomings are all media fabrications?
