Not sure yet. Part of me wants to see if Palin makes a fool of herself and the other part doesn't like watching political debates or anything else political.

OMG, that was too funny!! My fiance (a rabid Republican) and I joked last night that we should do shots for every complete sentance Palin manages to string together. Then he decided he wouldn't get enough to drink!
I think Palin is rubbing off on McCain: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/0 ... 31241.html

We are definitely going to tune in to the debate. I don't necessarily expect Palin's performance to be as bad as her interview with Katie Couric. She will have been given stock answers to memorize, and she showed at the GOP convention that she was pretty good at delivering memorized speeches. But I find it truly insulting that McCain and his advisers thought that nominating as Vice President a woman of her abysmal level of preparation to serve as President, if need be, would attract women voters. What's really sexist is the assumption that women are so stupid we will vote for just anyone, as long as she's another woman.

Margaret, you are so right. I've made no secret that I'm a Liberal and, of course, am supporting the Obama/Biden ticket but I also think that when women of EITHER party hold important political offices that women all over the country benefit. But this is one HUGE exception! I shudder to think of what will happen to the country, to the world, and to women should there be a President Palin!

Absolutely I'm going to watch it. Part of me is really cringing, but at least I should be able to get a laugh or two out of it. (insert sarcasm here) At least I did the responsible thing today and wrote my congresscritter to vote down the latest 700B bailout -- that thing has so much pork attached -- went from 3 pages to well over a 100 now. Sheesh.
