HuffPo: Sarah Palin may be a better debater than (most) think
Folks, An insightful article (http://url.ie/qxw) in the Huffington Post suggests that despite Sarah Palin's sketchy performance in situations where knowledge and understanding of issues are required, she proves to be a much more skilled debater because, as Andrew Halcro, 2006 Alaska gubernatorial candidate, writes: I've debated Governor Palin more than two dozen times. And she's a master, not of facts, figures, or insightful policy recommendations, but at the fine art of the nonanswer, the glittering generality. Against such charms there is little Senator Biden, or anyone, can do. Perhaps Palin, like Bush before her, knows (instinctively or intentionally) that you don't win elections by being smarter or more prepared than the other guy, you win by being more appealing, by seeming more _like_ the audience and wanting to be _liked by_ them.
