If the topic was one she wasn't confident about, she'd just change the topic to one she had prepared for and get all folksy. I think the key to her debate style was practice, practice, practice. I still don't think she has a firm grasp of the issues...I think she was well-trained.

I agree, Maureen. She was having her own debate or maybe she didn't understand how the debate was supposed to work. She gave her answers and not answers to the question. It wasn't the real Sarah Palin on the debates last night. That was Sarah parroting what she was told on almost ever subject with the exception of the "Can I call you Joe?"

But to give her credit, she sounded like she was well prepared and has good memorization skills. Too bad her answers were for another debate.
