I guess Juan missed the Biden-Palin debate...she more than held her own. I’m certain she could do the same with Obama.
And you can bet next debate, if she runs, she will be far more prepared -on her terms, not by her "handlers." Even Robin Roberts on the recent GMA interview admitted that Palin came to the debate very prepared. I read somewhere that when she was on the road during her book tour she would fall asleep with briefing materials (are you listening Charles?). If she held her own with a 40 year Senator last time, she would mop the floor with Obama if that debate ever happens.
