If she delivers merely a sub-par performance, everyone will be so impressed they'll count it as a victory. If she actually does well (  ), the world will sing her praises and the ensuing Palinmania II will knock the Earth of it's axis.
The only way she "loses" is if she really is as horrendous as everyone fears she could be. |
True. This was the same tactic Obama was taking, and it worked for him. He got stomped, and looked a fool for the most part, but was lauded for holding his own. Therefore, the "draw" went to the underdog - Obama.
Unfortunately, we have very few talking heads who try and remain objective, so the obvious is left unsaid.
It worked for Obama, maybe it will work for Palin, and swing the tide yet again.
