Moot point, she's not going to do it, unless attired as below.
If it got them elected, the right wingers would take the hit.

If she does the spread she'll be a hypocrite. You think the bubba segment is big enough? If so, Scarlett Johansson should be running. . . . . . . .

I wouldn't vote for Palin if she did a Hustler spread.

Whichever party gets elected is going to take a hit as neither can follow through on their campaign promises, and the current issues will get worse before they get better.

Wow, I missed her disaster of a performance with Katie Couric:

Wow!

This VP debate has peaked my interest.

Since I have to record it and watch later, the question that will be in my head is "Is it Sara or is it Tina?" (Borrowing the old Is it live or is it Memorex? commercial theme.)

I kind of think she is a bit over her head. This debate should further confirm with me whether this is true or not.

I think I will watch the debate for the same reasons I watch NASCAR. I am willing to watch people boringly go around in circles on the hope that I will get to witness a good crash and burn!

Good one. Our dear Gov Palin is undergoing intensive coaching right now at McCain's Arizona hide-away (not sure which of his seven (or is it nine?) houses). A goal, I'm sure, is to encourage her to 'be herself' and get her mojo back. Excessive coaching is probably in part respsonsible for reducing her to a babbling train wreck.

I suspect she will come out Thursday swinging against Obama (the best defense is a good offense), her head crammed full of memorized zingers to try and keep Biden defensive and off-balance. She'll play the attack dog... the attack dog everyone, especially Biden, is afraid to attack.

McCain doesn't have much left in his bag of tricks. Maybe one is to 're-suspend' his campaign in a gambit to help foster a perception of effective leadership of his own party on the bailout (ie, re-attempt take credit for saving the country by pulling together enough Republican votes). Another is probably to try and re-fuel the flagging "Palin Factor". This will require Palin to come out aggressively on Thursday. Hopefully most Americans will see through this, but I'm skeptical. We've shown ourselves over and over to be a gullible population by and large.
