There were rumors that Bush was wired for his debates with Kerry. His debating and speech skills are so bad, it is believable. His pauses, the looks on his face, etc.
From what we have seen with Palin, if she suddenly does a 180 degree turn with talking, we will know.

Wiring should be illegal. The candidates should have to talk for themselves, not be continually coached.

What do you think? Do you think they will wire Palin for the debates??

If the Republicans were smart they'd gag her for the debate.

I'd love to see a trucker CB dialogue break into her reception while providing a foreign policy answer:

"And of course Charlie, you know how close we are to Russia....and uh, we'll be picking up a half a dozen of those pecan logs next time we stop at the Cracker Barrel."

It would be better if that trucker was using old Dukes of Hazzard verbage and she called Charlie "Crazy Cooter".

You know, I used to always wear my hair up to work, and now, I feel like my hairstyle has been stolen, because everyone calls that the Sarah Palin look, but it's not!

But then, she is a moosehunter...and

Is it actually permissable to wear a wire during a debate???? I'm completely ignorant as to rules and regulations during debates, so please forgive me if this is a really stupid question!

If they do that, the democrats should be able to sabotage it somehow. I’m sure the technology exists.

Well, there was one time - and I don't remember where - where Bush was "wired", and there was all this talk about this little bump on his back, where the gadget was.

I doubt this would be "legal" in terms of debate rules.

It's already been ridiculed that she had John McCain sitting next to her with Katie Couric, like a "Dad and daughter". Katie would ask Sarah a question, and John would try to answer it. I don't think they'd try the wiring.
