If repugs "wire" Palin in Biden debate she will chew Biden up and spit him out

[Imagevision]

Is there no-one here in DU. that didn't clearly see the receiver pictured in upper part of Bush's jacket which Bush later commented that "it was a poorly tailored shirt?

[azmouse]

1. She won't lay a glove on Biden.

But your concern is noted.

[secondwind]

2. I faintly remember that...............so how do we prevent that in the upcoming debate in October?

Women have been hiding "stuff" in their bras since the bra was invented.

[napi21]

3. Joe will handle it! I have NO DOUBTS! Hell, he MIGHT even ask her

"By the way Sarah, what's that buldge on your back?

[1corona4u]

13. LOL, knowing Joe.....he may....

or ask her if that's what the guy in her ear said to say...

On edit; Obama should look for some kind of frequency jamming device...that could be done....they just have to know what channel and frequency it's on.

[Phx_Dem]

53. LOL. Exactly what Kerry should have asked Bush. n/t

[glowing]

4. No doubt, they will cheat.. she will be prepped and prepared by the questions

ahead of time and she will have a receiver in her ear.. We know this.. But I tend to think Biden will still do well... He's pretty knowledgeable about different topics, no b.s... and I don't think he's after personal digs.. Expect that from her.. It will give a lot of people the heebeejeebees. Watching her try to attack a man that has had a fine career as a public servant.

[formernaderite]

44. my wife pointed out that earrings would make a perfect foil

i'm no conspiracy theorist...but heck, they'll try anything

[Imagevision]

5. I saw the pic's of Bush's back jacket, it was obvious, Palin Bra? whatever it takes, what would you

do if you were a repug and your representative was going up against someone with more knowledge?

[Imagevision]

6. Too bad the debate commitee won't use scanners to ensure it's on the up&up...

[WinkyDink]

7. You think her handlers will be smarter and sharper than Sen. Biden?

[Imagevision]

8. Smarter then Palin? yes!

[WinkyDink]

46. But your reply is not to my post. The OP suggests that Palin's "handlers" will enable her to

do a job on BIDEN.

[LynneSin]

9. The best debater in Congress - you're fucking joking me right

:rofl:

Even WITH a republican sitting right next to her doing ventriloquism to get the answers out, Biden still can out debate her.

[democracy1st]

10. dumb post of the day right here

[Minimus]

24. It is right up there with the one calling Biden another Lieberman.

[Imagevision]

11. Most would say that Kerry was smarter then Bush... look what happened

[eleny]

15. Comparing Kerry & Biden styles and delivery

:rofl:

[City Lights]

12. She'll be wired. Bet on it.

And like Bush, if she's able to string together a two-word sentence, she'll be declared the winner. The goop excels at lowering expectations, and the lap-dog-corporate-whore media will trip over itself helping to prop up The Queen of Wasilla.

[BrotherBuzz]

43. She will not be wired I'll bet on it. They will employ HSS (HyperSonic Sound)

She will have a small ear piece that is all but noticeable and will be bathed in sound directed her way that nobody can hear without the little ear piece. Easiest way to defeat the system is to locate the person directing the sound and simply stand if front of the device they carry. A more deviant way would be to locate a second transmitter and start feeding her babble, or even a baseball statistics.

[City Lights]

50. I certainly hope someone figures out who's feeding her so they can block it,

or, as you've said, get a second transmitter to feed her gibberish. Have it look like she's speaking in tongues before the public. :evilgrin:

[BrotherBuzz]

51. I've always wanted to run some Glossolalia through BabelFish™

:rofl:

[Imagevision]

14. The size of the mike installed in her ear is smaller then a capsule

And all Palen has to to do is hold her own against Biden and it will be a victory for the repugs.

[RayOfHope]

16. She'll be wired but Joe will still kick her ass. He is a GREAT off the cuff speaker

and she'll be parroting answers spoken into her ear. Jesus, come on. :eyes:

[Imagevision]

17. Palen doesn't have to beat Joe, just hold her own and it will suffice...

[RayOfHope]

31. "Hold her own"? That implies she has some talent to start with. She has a terrible voice,

comes off as mean and condescending, and I believe Joe will neutralize any effect she has immediately and will kill her with kindness while completely shredding her.

Quit fucking panicking.

[thunder rising]

18. 1. How bad would it look if she was wired and lost? 2. Biden could wear a microcast jammer.

How cool would that be that she HAS to take a bathroom break.

[MiniMe]

55. * was wired and he lost that debate

It's all in what the spinmeisters say unfortunately

[book_worm]

19. did Bush chew Kerry up and spit him out in any debate?

[Imagevision]

21. did Bush chew Kerry up? no, but it made him appear to be less ignorant...

[Gabi Hayes]

20. start the broadcast off with strip searches

then they can put on edible underwear for the debate

[Imagevision]

22. Use a scanner, like those used at airports...

[Overseas]

23. Oh no she won't. The RNC guys talking into the earpiece can't

out debate Biden !!

They'll send her into the debates with some memorized punchlines and zingers up her sleeve, for sure. Some anti- smart stuff that will play well with fundamentalists. Something like "the best intelligence in the world didn't stop the 9/11 attacks." Hoping they've convinced enough people that Republicans having been in charge for 9 months already by that time wasn't relevant.

The RNC may even send her in with some lines guaranteed to get an eye-roll from Joe that the media is ready to play up as they did with Gore's genuine responses to Bush's stupidity.

Then they can roll on to further stoke the culture wars by saying how the debate was between the Eastern Elite Law Professor and the genuine (!?!) Hockey Mom.

[BlooInBloo]

25. Uh... no she won't. Biden can beat their best person, in addition to their worst....

But thanks for your concern.

[Imagevision]

27. Rove could change everything...

[BlooInBloo]

29. Again, thanks for your concern.

[cliffordu]

26. OMFG!!!!11!!! 1! 1 ! OH!11!1 NOES!1!!!1!1 THIS IS SERIES!!111!

No one is going to do anything to Joe Biden.

[BlueIdaho]

28. Get someone to bring a handheld radio capable of scanning frequencies.

First word in Sarah's ear and scream bloody murder from the audience.

"That Woman IS Wearing a Wire!!!!!!!!!"

Game Set Match to Obama/Biden.

Any Ham radio folks out there?


edit - typo

[AndyTiedye]

37. A TRANSMITTER Would Be Even More Fun

Get her reading from OUR script :)

[BlueIdaho]

38. Brilliant! nt.

[Imagevision]

30. Obama camp should at least be wary

[stevenleser]

34. I agree and I think that is the message...

Be wary of any possible chicanery, etc.

[Ikonoklast]

32. Joe Biden can stay home and still beat Barbie in a debate

Because she's brittle, and it will show. She can't stop herself from fracturing.

Watching someone self-destruct live has a certain morbid amusement to it.

[Imagevision]

33. And I truly believed kerry would easily defeat Bush...!

[KingFlorez]

35. Wired or not, she's not going to do good

Judging from her RNC speech, it's clear she was rehearsed. Any answers she gives will have been written ahead of time and it's going to be obvious she's memorized everything.

[Imagevision]

36. That depend on who is feeding her (Rick Davis?)

[LiveLiberally]

48. The same Rick Davis who quipped today that Palin will do interviews with reporters....

who treat her with "deference"? Personally, I'd love it if he fed her such great gaffes during a debate :)

[suston96]

39. Bush and Cheney lost the debates in 2000 and 2004 and then what happened.....?

It ain't about the debates. It's about the ongoing election theft conspiracies, precinct by precinct, especially in the smaller states.

I know. That's crazy. Elections cannot be stolen. Crazy conspiracy paranoia.

[totodeinhere]

40. All of the people who are saying that Biden will wipe the floor with Palin are making a big mistake.

Haven't you heard of the expectations game? We have got to say that we think Palin will do well in the debate, then when she doesn't do so well the MSM will spin it as a victory for Biden. But if we set Biden's expectations too high it will be impossible for him to meet them and the MSM weill spin it as a Palin victory as long as she doesn't make a total fool of herself, and she probably won't be that bad.

[kristopher]

41. Isn't it possible that the Obama team has considered this?

If there is a way to guard against it or use it in their favor I suppose they will figure it out.

[emulatorloo]

42. It didn't help Bush against Kerry -- most people polled said Kerry won

Problem is not many voters watched the debates, and then there was that Osama endorsment of Bush.

At any rate, a room full of republican operatives is no match for Biden. Hopefully there will be more people watching the debates this time.

[AZBlue]

45. Can't we require both candidates to be swept prior to going onstage?

[sudopod]

47. All the wires in the world

can't fix mean and stupid.

[SunnyBaudelaire]

49. Our side should have someone there to intercept the signal

They could record the person feeding the answers to her or they could just jam her frequency. That would be hilarious to see.

[Phx_Dem]

52. Nobody has ever "chewed up Joe Biden and spit him out"

including all of the Democratic candidates during debates. Not Obama, not Clinton, not Edwards, Richardson or anyone else. It doesn't mean Mooselady won't be able to hold her own -- well have to wait and see -- but she definitely will not be chewing anyone up, and it's quite possible the only thing she'll be spitting out are her teeth after Biden shoves them down her throat.

If she were so fucking tough, they wouldn't be hiding her right now. And now we find out that her first interview with go to Charlie Gibson?! Shit, I'm surpised they didn't dust off Barbara Walters.

Let's face it anyone, including me, could get up on stage and give a rehearsed speech, written by someone else, filled with nasty barbs. That doesn't make her tough and it doesn't make her smart. We'll see if she can measure up after her weeks of training. My guess is no. She'll just be the same snide, snarky, ridiculing person that we have already seen, only with less teeth.

[casus belli]

54. Won't happen...

Even with a teleprompter beaming their words to them, we've been treated to gems such as "giving hot bottled water to dehydrated babies". She's going to have to know her stuff. Period. And that won't happen in two weeks of cramming. A bigger worry, is that they don't give her sufficient access to the media to expose her lack of depth on any subject relevant to the job.
