So, the whole thing for the VP debates is to get Palin into defending turf while improving. I watched some of the debates she did while running for governor (they're floating around on the net), and there, on local/state issues, with a narrow narrative she was quite competent actually - and very, very aggressive. She kept hammering her opponent who was dissembling on corruption issues, and very effectively.
Biden is going to have a hard time challenging her off her base talking points without seeming to aggressive - especially as she is probably going to be spitting venom. Don't underestimate the dumb and ambitious. But then again, I always liked what Rommel had to say on this point:
"Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders."
- I meant "improvising" not "improving". I pulled a Palin.TheBlueOne
