1. Possible, but not helpful. She'll be arguing with the voice in her ear just like Bush was.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. She Just Needs A Few Choice Words

And certain types of Bluetooth systems are very difficult to block.

[BuyingThyme]

2. These people fucking fabricate fucking wars!!!!!

Who the fuck honestly believes they wouldn't wire a fucking ditz?!!

[kgnu_fan]

3. is someone going to jam the signal soon? nt

[cliffordu]

4. SPEAK UP I'M GETTING SOME STATIC....

[Speck Tater]

5. Have you ever tried to speak with someone talking into your ear?

Totally disorienting. She couldn't handle it, and she's arrogant enough to think she doesn't need it.

[jefferson_dem]

6. My thoughts. I voted "tin foil".

Way high risk for fairly little reward.

[featherman]

11. Agree... too difficult and disorienting. Not happening

[NoQuarter]

14. She did live television,

albeit sports, so this is something that she is used to.

On the other hand, I believe that the "down" hair-do is just a ruse to get us going. (as you can see, it worked.)

This debate has been so gamed by these people, that anything we say afterward will be meaningless, as they have the responses already prepared in order to control the news cycle for days to come.

[Catshrink]

7. Totally possible and highly probable

I wouldn't put anything past these people.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

9. Psych!!!

Yes and the quarterback may have sprained his wrist in practice.

[FlyingSquirrel]

10. A better idea

If there were no cameras BEHIND them (something demanded by the Bush campaign in 2004)

would be to have a device in front of her on the podium that they could send quick text messages to. They could have the messages pre-made and send instantly when a question comes up. She could refer to them as she spoke. Could pretend to be making notes on a pad and referring to those notes.

[denem]

12. Like, totally.

[still_one]

13. jam the device right when she is in the middle of an answer /nt

[Quantess]

15. I'm withholding judgment until I see tonight's hairdo.

She hasn't been seen with her hair down, since being picked for veep. If she picks tonight as the night to let her hair down, I'll be EXTREMELY suspicious.

16. entirely possible: link
