MY PREDICTIONS FOR THE PALIN/BIDEN DEBATE

Here are my predictions for Thursday night’s VP debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden.

1) SARAH PALIN WILL FOCUS ON SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN
What you got to understand going into this debate is that the McCain campaign needs a game-changer. They need to throw a Hail Mary that actually works.
So in order to achieve this they will have Sarah Palin at one point in the debate drive home the fact that she is a mother of a special needs child and she will once again tell the audience----- and the American people------- that if elected to the White House she will be an advocate for children with special needs.
Then once the debate is over and the families come on stage look for “the first Dude” to walk up with their baby in his arms. This will be the crowning moment of the night.


2) GWEN IFILL WILL GO EASY ON PALIN
I hope that I’m wrong on this but I wouldn’t be surprised if the moderator goes softball on us. There might be a few tough questions but I think for the most part the it will be easy for the Alaskan Governor and the only thing that could trip her up is if she goes on and on about a particular subject. After all, she does tend to ramble.

3) NO GAME-CHANGER FROM JOE BIDEN
Don’t expect anything spectacular from Biden. He’s not going to say anything that will impress many people. Obama supporters will like what he says and McCain supporters will not. Joe will give the party line and he’ll walk away not causing any damage and not setting the world on fire.

4) THE VP CANDIDATES WILL FOLLOW THE LEADS OF THEIR RUNNING MATES
This of course is a no-brainer, but it’s worth mentioning.
On the night before the VP debate both Palin and Biden will watch re-runs of Friday’s debate and they will memorize the parts that seemed to work for their running-mates.
Look for Palin to bring up Obama’s earmarks. Look for Biden to bring up the fact that McCain wouldn’t look at Obama.

5) MORE PARTICIPATION FROM THE AUDIENCE
Look for the audience to be more vocal. Of course they’re not suppose to but in this debate they will.
