There is only one Vice Presidential debate and nobody is going to be swayed one way or the other by what either VP candidate has to say.
The appointment of Palin would energize the Pro-life base and put a large chunk of the disgruntled Hillary Clinton ("We want a Woman") voters firmly into the McCain camp.
All she needs to do to win a debate is to answer any questions honestly and consistently. Biden will twist in the wind since he has no real core values and neither does Obama.

...and that is the winning ticket
We really need to gamble because McCain should be down by 12-15%...only Dem ineptness and radicalism is saving him. My fear is that McCain will get too conservative, no pun intended, with his VP pick - trying to salt a surprising early strength in the polls.
I disagree there Marlowe, she has to be able to handle the Obamedia. IF she can’t it will hurt McCain and that’s a cardinal sin for a VP candidate. Personally I hope she can because I think she will energise young pro life Catholics and Evangelicals like nobody has ever done.
I’d like Palin or Cantor. I know less about Cantor, but he seems to be pro-life, which is a crucial issue for me.
