So Palin's job at the debate is to set up the frame: Change vs. More of the same?
That's right, with Obama surging in the polls, McCain decided since his strategy isn't working: let's steal Obama's!

Here's what Palin framed as the choice she intends to frame at the VP debate:

Here's a partial transcript of Gov. Sarah Palin's latest interview with Katie Couric that aired this morning on The Early Show:

COURIC: I know you're heading to Sedona to work on your debate. What is your coach advising you?

Gov. PALIN: I don't have a debate coach.

COURIC: Well, what are your coaches?

Gov. PALIN: I have quite a few people who are giving us information about the record of Obama and Biden, and at the end of the day, though, it is -- it's so clear, again, what those choices are. Either new ideas, new energy and reform of Washington, DC, or more of the same.


That's right, Palin and McCain are going to try and talk about there new ideas and new energy. New ideas and new energy= change.

Barack Obama? Despite his opposition to the last eight years, and his position differences on virtually every single one of the issues from the Bush White House, is more of the same.

You heard it, folks. McCain may vote with Bush a whooping 90% of the time, but he's just crazy enough to bet the farm (it's an expression--he 13 houses. No farms) on stealing Obama's change vs. more of the same argument.

And heres the best part: he believes you're going to buy it, because PALIN is the one selling it to you.

They'll be lucky if Palin doesn't pause after the first question in panic, blink about twenty times, let out a gigantic nervous fart, and run off stage crying and screaming while Biden smiles with that sly smirk of his.

And they're giving her the duty of selling the new frame for the choice in November.

My fellow DUers, this can't be pretty. They tried this once, claiming the mantle of change, and it backfired.

With Obama surging in the polls, and the election one month away, let's watch as they officially go into "Oh shit, we're losing...PANIC" mode.
