Can Palin win the debate even while losing?

Sarah Palin can win the vice presidential debate before she even hits the stage, and the McCain campaign knows it.

The plan is risky, but their aim is to conquer the expectations game. They beat expectations at the convention when they unveiled her before millions of Americans who were incredulous about her experience, abilities and obviously unvetted background. That speech, delivered only a month ago, capped off a week of bad press... bad press that made Palin's success on the stage inevitable as long as she didn't throw up on the teleprompter.

I don't place much faith in that article, however Palin has proven that given the chance, she will fuck up any interview she is doing.

She simply does not possess the mental fortitude to do anything other than spout off canned answers.  A canned answer is good for one question, but when you use the same one with no variation in it for 5-6 questions, it's a problem.

The only way she is going to win that debate and any votes is if she goes on there and her water breaks or something.  So she gets medically excused.
