I'm not sure about Biden's debate prep. Gov. Granholm is no Sarah Palin.
Granholm is smart, fully engaged, experienced, knowledgable about the issues, curious about the world around her, always ready to learn.

In other words, she has nothing in common with Palin but her gender.

I hope they took Sarah's insanity and incompetence into account, but I can't see how Granholm could ever think like her, even in a mock debate scenario.

4. Biden's gotta be on his game. While Fey would have been
a great photo op, he needs to be prepared no matter what little ms. sarah does or says.

I know he'll do just great, I am worried about sarah though. I hope she doesn't break out the tears.

7. I doubt she'll break out in tears. She's too cocky and a master on nonanswering.
She'll wink, blink, smile and try to bullshit her way through. I just hope she doesn't frustrate Biden and Gwen.

5. I believe Granholm particpated in a beauty pageant too!
Well, if you believe wikipedia...they say she was Miss San Carlos. Palin is no Granholm. I am so proud that Granholm is my governor...I really hope she doesn't leave to be in the Obama administration (I've heard she might be Attorney General). It's too bad Canadians can't be president because she would've been a good VP option. I can't imagine how Granholm is going to put herself into Palin's mindset and say some of BS things like, "I can see Russia from my house."

12. DUzy. Actually, she WON the Miss San Carlos (CA) beauty pageant.
I wish they all could be California girls.

8. Maybe they should have used a Tickle Me Sarah doll instead.
It would just blurt out random pre-recorded talking points.

11. I wish I could be a fly on the wall during their prep....
I'll betcha every now and then she says something completely wacky and nonsensical to try to make him crack up. I really think that with the fact that this debate is 90 minutes split between the two of them, not 60 split between three people, she's going to have an awful lot of rope to hang herself with.

13. Maybe she got hammered first. That should replicate debate conditions nicely.
I don't mean "drunk". I actually mean "hammered".
