Do you seriously think Palin is wearing a wire?

[senseandsensibility]

And if you do, we need to do something about it.

[MNDemNY]

1. Electronic suppository.

[pnwmom]

2. Absolutely. But what can anyone do? n/t

[SharonAnn]

23. I'm not worried about it. If she does wear one, it'll only confuse her.

She doesn't have the ability to talk, listen and try to put together a coherent statement.

[pnwmom]

32. Why do you think that? She used to have to wear one in her job

as a sportscaster. For all we know, she's used one as a Governor.

[Speck Tater]

3. No, I don't think so.

Somebody talking in her ear would confuse the hell out of her, besides I think she is arrogant enough to think she doesn't need one.

[question everything]

13. Agree. Even experienced network readers get distracted when someone

tell them something, they have to stop and say; wait a minute, I hear that....

[Jackpine Radical]

4. No.

I don't think they're above it (God knows!), but I don't think they could make it work.

[WeDidIt]

5. Commission on Presidential Debates employs an individual as Frequency Coordinator

so it would ahve to be an infrared device:

[Tallison]

15. Read the article & infrareds sound pretty impractical

I mean, you have to remain in its direct line of sight...

[WeDidIt]

27. Tough, but not impossible

Very tough.

[ChazII]

39. Interesting n/t

[Jade Fox]

6. How often have we seen her with her hair covering her ears?

Never before now.

I'm afraid she might be.

[WinkyDink]

45. Did you WATCH?

http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2524992/Biden-won-Palin-exceeded-expectations.html

[Arrowhead2k1]

7. With her hair being down today for the first time ever, I'm seriously suspicious of it.

I wish they had some kind of official check for that sort of thing. If no one checks her, then what's stopping them from putting a wire on her?

[WinkyDink]

41. Did you actually watch the debate? Her ears were uncovered.

[Arrowhead2k1]

50. Check the date... I made that comment before the debate. She had her hair down during the day.

You're freaking out over an old thread. :rofl:

[Curtland1015]

8. Honestly? No.

While the idea is hilarious, and the timing of her "hair down" is VERY suspect... the logistics of trying to get her to listen to the earpiece, Gwen, Joe, etc, process all that info, and answer in a timely fashion would just be too much.

[AllieB]

9. Even with a wire, she's still stupid.

[Liberalboy]

10. I'm not a tin-foil hat wearer, but I put nothing past these guys...

1. She's wearing her hair down, covering her ears.
2. She has a bandage on her hand
3. She has long sleeves on covering the gap between bandage and blouse
4. She's a complete and utter moron

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. #5 She's a former sportscaster & #6 She has had a week to practice using an ear piece.

[MorningGlow]

11. I wouldn't doubt it

But I won't know for sure until the debate begins. If she's eloquent and knowledgeable, THE FIX IS IN!

[Bucky]

12. I'm 80% sure she isn't. I'm 20% certain she is.

I can't imagine they'd be that stupid, knowing that if they get busted they have no hope (other than the hope an Obama election gives all of us).

[maseman]

14. No way

I did talk radio for years. I hated when someone tried to talk in my ear while I was talking. Some people can do it after years of training and "getting used" to it.

[Erin Elizabeth]

16. Seriously?

No, I don't.

[Yavin4]

17. Naaah.... No Wire....None At All....Meet Her Debate Handlers

[Willo]

24. Hah!

[Willo]

18. I don't put it past her (them)

I will be very suspicious if her hair is worn down or she is wearing something bigger than a band-aid.

I recognize the hair could be worn down for effect but I'd still be suspicious.

Her responses will tell all.

[bushisanidiot]

19. I think Rove wants us to think she's wearing a wire just so repukes can make fun of us

for tin-foil-hatting.

and I agree with the others who said that a listening device would just confuse the hell out of her. it's too risky for someone like palin.

[TheKentuckian]

20. Dubya did it and played it off to some degree

Palin probably can too. She's probably done that before as a talking head too. I put nothing past them.

[dennysp]

34. Commenters on the Washington Post website also

mention the possibility of an ear piece:

Don't forget the ear piece that can have answers fed to her instantly.

I believe Sarah Palin will debate just like the second debate that John Kerry and George W. Bush had. Georgie went dumb on the first interview. They stuck a microphone in his ear to feed him answers the second one. Watch for the microphone on Palin

Yep. We can just sit back, watch the show, and see if the gullible American citizens lap it up!!!


:popcorn:

[nevergiveup]

21. No way

The woman is really dense and there would be no assurances that she wouldn't forget and try to adjust it or something. It is more likely she will have cheat notes written on her hands or arms.

[dennysp]

35. Using the earpiece is what she's been practicing for over a week!!!

[azmouse]

22. No.

[Waiting For Everyman]

25. Even so, I bet most of her points are memorized.

[Blue Diadem]

30. and will be repeated over and over n/t

[Faygo Kid]

28. Yep. What was that brick in Bush's back in 2004? What's with the new hairstyle?

Those saying "no" think the Repukes have some kind of moral qualms about such tactics?

Anybody see the Couric interviews?

Of course she's wearing one.

[Kurovski]

29. Get a Dem make-up artist/wardrobe person to work on her and yank it off her at the last minute.

That's the ticket.

[ThomWV]

31. I think she will and I think it will be in her Eyeglass Frames.

Very easy place to hide it right in plain view.

[TexasObserver]

33. Absolutely.

[Bryn]

36. It's possible that she knew by letting her hair down

we would get on her, check her out for wire, etc. thus making us look bad. Could be just her clever way to stir up something. Don't trust that woman. If she's wearing one, fine, let her even though it's highly unfair and wrong.

[bdamomma]

37. no, the only wire she will be wearing is her microphone.

for some strange reason if they ask any indepth questions she will flounder and not even answer the question correctly. I hope she doesn't play I am a mother card, I am too Sarah.

[BlueEyedSon]

38. The way she was taking dictation while Biden was speaking.....

[WinkyDink]

40. No.

[THUNDER HANDS]

42. no, but she was reading pages and pages of notes

she flipped them over and back at one point.

[Marrah_G]

43. No.

[Orsino]

44. I don't think she needed it.

Her strategy was to regurgitate talking points, and to improvise as little as possible. There were no surprise questions.

[secondwind]

46. I don't think she wore a wire. Instead, she had canned responses that she

brought out constantly, at one point even repeating one. Back to back.

No, I think she is good at "glittering generalities", as has been said. She did not actually respond to some questions, and I fault Ifill for that. Instead she went into her spiel.

[WinkyDink]

47. FGS, people!! LOOK AT HER HAIR! It was NOT "DOWN" over her EARS!

http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2524992/Biden-won-Palin-exceeded-expectations.html

[sansouci]

48. Sarah wears a wire

I watched the NBC feed, and, as she was walking behind stage after the debate, she was taking off a radio transmitter, like the ones the secret service use. Take a look, there was a wire, and I don't know why no one is making an issue of it!!!!

[Okie4Obama]

49. No, I think she is a trained seal with her talking points.
