Who will be debating Joe Biden?

As we have now seen Palin's dismal interviews, and know that she does not have anything more than a cursory knowledge (or none at all) of the serious issues facing the country today, I'm starting to wonder who the McCain campaign will have debating Joe Biden on Thursday? Of course Palin will have to physically be present at the podium, but looking at McCain's strategy of accompanying her on interviews so that he can jump in and bail her out when she starts talking like South Carolina's Miss Teen USA contestant, I'm guessing he's not real comfortable with her going down in flames on her own. Accordingly, Palin will be wearing a wire.

Obviously it would be damaging if everyone knew she was cheating, so the receiver will be virtually impossible to detect. I'm not well versed in the state of the art of radio technology, but it doesn't seem too far-fetched to expect that a modern, tiny, "in-the-ear" hearing aid could be paired with a micro receiver, creating a nearly invisible "inner voice" to help her with those tough questions, like "name a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade".

Of course, this is all speculation, but look for her to wear her hair down, and watch her pause after each question, as if listening intently to her "inner voice" for guidance. You may think this makes her a sock puppet for the right, but in truth, she is really a sock puppet's sock puppet, as McCain is the one who has abandoned principle to spew Rove's talking points.
