Hundreds attend anti-IWRC* Palin rally... BUT, she's a good debater

By GottaLaff

Sorry, no photos yet:

Hundreds of people turned out for an anti-Sarah Palin rally today.

People waved signs at honking cars headed downtown and listened to speakers in a rally organized by a group called Alaskans for Truth.

They were protesting that Sen. John McCain's GOP running mate has stopped participating in the state Legislature's investigation into her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.(Laffy Note: See latest post on that here) [...]

One demonstrator, Anchorage resident Vonda Roark-Martinez, carried a sign that said "Hey Sarah Can you see reality from Alaska?"

Roark-Martinez says Palin should go back to her hometown of Wasilla because she doesn't have the experience to be vice president.

I'm searching for photos. Meanwhile, here is pretty much what I've been saying (I'm the cautious type) about IWRC's Big Impending Debate:

On a Saturday conference call with reporters, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe called Gov. Sarah Palin "a terrific debater" who has "performed very, very well" in previous debates with opponents in her state.

Politico's Mike Allen writes:

"We've looked at tapes of Gov. Palin's debates, and she's a terrific debater," Plouffe told reporters on a conference call. "She has performed very, very well. She's obviously a skilled speaker. We expect she'll give a great performance next Thursday." [...]

Privately, Democratic campaign officials have sent video clips of Palin's previous debates to the Huffington Post, noting her strong performances against more experienced Alaskan pols.

There is a legitimate sense of unease that the bar has been set so low for Palin that even a modest performance will be seen as a major success -- and that Palin may be capable of much more.

She'll be likable and just knowledgeable enough to get good reviews. Think Bush.

Bush III.
