On Thursday Palin will face the biggest test of her vice-presidential candidacy with the vice-presidential debate, and I am scared. Through her interviews in the past weeks, it has become obvious that Palin does not do well under that type of pressure. She will absolutely have to perform well in this debate in order to still be considered a viable candidate.
This article does not forget to mention her helpless interview with Katie Couric and the Saturday Night Live parody that went along with it. Although I am terribly worried as a Republican, the New York Times could potentially be helping the Republican ticket, if not intentionally. Just as I stated before the first presidential debate, they were lowering expectations for Obama. Could it be that they are trying to criticize Palin, but at the same time unintentionally lowering her expectations? I think so, yes. At the same time, NY Times states that Palin has presented a "question mark" that she will have to entirely erase at the debate and that could prove a very lofty expectation. Not only that but she will have to present herself in a way that does not seem too over rehearsed or scripted.
