(Can you buy Moosehead in the Excited States, or is it only in Canuckistan?)
Moosehead Sales to Soar from Thursday Night's DebateRULES OF THE SARAH PALIN VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE DRINKING GAME—Take a chug of Moosehead beer whenever Sarah Palin says the following:
maverick
reformer
any sentence including the words "neighbor" and "Russia"
small-town values
Gwen or Joe (remember how many times Palin said "Charlie" during the Gibson interview?)
off shore oil drilling
Alaska
"Thanks but no thanks!"
witchcraft (not likely...but hey, you never know, especially if Kathleen Parker's name should pop up)
—Take two chugs of Moosehead whenever Sarah Palin does the following:
Utters a coherent sentence (i.e., contains a subject and a verb and makes logical sense)
Talks about her new friend Henry Kissinger or Hamid Karzai
Explains how being the part-time mayor of Wasilla, Alaska with a full-time city manager counts as executive experience
—Chug a whole bottle of Moosehead if Sarah Palin mentions the following:
Palin Presidency
On second thought, make that two bottles of Moosehead.

One of the biggest boosts that Sarah Palin has brought to the McCain campaign has been the power of surprise. In fact, I believe that whether we like it or not, Palin's nomination brought a faltering campaign back to life.
So, why is the campaign making Palin so inaccessible?
I think they are counting on Thursday night's debate to be everything the opposition claims it won't be, and they are counting on it to be a big surprise. I think there is 24/7 coaching going on to get Palin ready for Thursday. And it's not necessarily coaching to bring her up to speed on everything she obviously does not know. Palin is good on the attack, whether the basis of her attack is sound or not. The "not-on-the-issues" campaign strategy recognizes that facts don't really matter, impression and belief are what matter.
I'm thinking we will see the pit bull, without her lipstick, come charging at Biden with her moose gun blazing on Thursday night. She will repeat her rehearsed lines and then attack Biden at every opportunity. There will be a repeated refrain, different from McCain's "Senator Obama doesn't understand", but just as pointed and effective.
Watch for it.
