VP Debates 2008: The Hockey Mom Vs. What's His Name

VP Debates 2008: The Hockey Mom Vs. What's His Name

So, the first presidential debate has come and gone without any major gaffes to focus on. But worry not, because now the vice presidential debates are coming! And that’s sure to bring some memorable mess-ups. I mean it will feature a candidate (not naming any names here) who thinks proximity to Russia qualifies as foreign policy experience.
 

Washington University in St. Louis has kicked into high gear, prepping for the arrival of Sarah Palin, Joe Biden and a swarm of secret service. While the school has hosted four debates before, this is its first VP debate. Though that may seem like a downgrade, this year’s event should be a media circus if nothing else. That’s thanks in part to the media (and America’s) current obsession with Palin. Hell, there’s even Palin porn circling the internet (I'll leave you to find that yourself).
 

This Thurday the pressure will be on for the Alaska governor since she has done very little in the way of on-the-spot speaking. In fact, she’s only given three press interviews since being named McCain’s running mate while Biden has done around 100. On top of that, Palin is the only vice presidential nominee to have never held a press conference.
 

That means the McCain campaign is going into overdrive to prepare the gun-toting, abortion-hating, lipsticked bulldog for the big event. Palin is said to be underoing four days of intense debate prep at McCain’s Arizona ranch.
 

Still, all the tutoring in the world, may not make a difference. Viewers will be tuning in to hear Palin droppin’ her g’s, contradictin’ Johnny and gosh darn talkin’ in circles. Oh, and Joe Biden will be there too, I guess.
