1. Any advice for Governor Granholm?

Yeah, pretend she's an idiot.

[islandmkl]

2. low-cut blouse...designer glasses...have baby nearby...smirk a lot...

memorize lines from convention speech...mock, mock, mock...

and don't forget the rifle...

[BlooInBloo]

24. It sounds funny, but that's about right. Be as distracting to Biden as possible.

3. My Governor!

My Governor is far too brilliant to act as dumb as Sarah Palin!

19. Jennifer couldn't possibly dumb down that much and put on the "folksy" act.

Maybe that's the idea. Practice with someone way more brilliant and classy than Palin. Jennifer is both those things for sure!

4. Wear your crown.

She's a beauty queen too. But, unlike Miss Wasilla, Granholm went on to Harvard Law (so I suppose a good deal of "dumbing it down" will also be required).

5. Smart, smart, smart....n/t

6. Have your water break, announce you're 8 months pregnant to throw Joe off his game

[Eurobabe]

7. For extra energy = eat a MOOSEBURGER n/t

[C_U_L8R]

8. Interrupt

apparently she does that a lot.

[VWolf]

20. Yep. And be vicious, vicious, vicious, vicious!!!

I don't want Joey the Shark to be blindsided.

9. Is she undergoing a temporary lobotomy to drop her IQ, just for the sake of accuracy?

[theothersnippywshrub]

10. She will need some helium to get the voice right. n/t

[Jennicut]

11. Gov. Granholm is far too classy and beautiful to replace Palin

however, she should wear too much lipstick and oink a lot and claim sexism every time Joe tries to make a point.

[tomg]

12. She will have to do some acting.

"Ms. Granholm, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and Harvard Law School, has agreed to devote four days to Mr. Biden’s prep work, Biden aides said." vs. Palin - I don't even need to put up the contrast intellectually.

[Alter Ego]

13. Have ten kids, learn to shoot and field-dress moose, and become an insufferable

douchenozzle like the rest of Palin's party, Governor--only then will you be able to truly capture that Maxwell's Silverhammer of douchebaggery that Sarah Palin will bring to the debate.

[TwilightGardener]

14. Granholm can't match Palin's vapidness and nasty demeanor. Do your best, Jen.

[blondeatlast]

15. Depends on if she wants to be effective or wants to be a Sanctimonious Sarah, the Victim Veep clone.

If she wants to sharpen her debate chops, read up, study, practice with a friend, then go toe-to-toe with Biden; just about the best there is.

If she wants to be like Sarah, practice how to be a "Barracuda" with a high pitched, whiny voice and a need to be protected by the big guys; all while repeating, "I'm as qualified as anyone, I'm as qualified as anyone."

[C_U_L8R]

16. Oh and wag your finger

while doing that self-righteous neck wobble.

[calico1]

17. So she has to talk in a screechy voice, act like a

snotty, stupid bitch.

It's good of her to do this.

[ClarkUSA]

18. They should be picking post-stomach stapled Rosanne Barr to get the snippy personality right.

Granholm doesn't share much in common with Palin except her gender.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

21. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of California, Berkeley

and Harvard Law School is STANDING IN for "Ms. Magna Cum Cute"? :spray:

BWAAAAAHHH!!!

[ClarkUSA]

22. Biden hasn't committed to her offer yet.

He 'says “we’ll see” whether he takes her up on her offer.'

23. Be Snarky, take offense if you can, stay on RW message....

It will be fun to see how Biden can hammer at the RW talking points without her pretending to take offense to garner sympathy. Can he make her look like the kook she is without making it look like he's bullying her?

25. This is a genius idea n/t
