Palin Visits Philly Bar, Will Spend Week at Debate Camp

By Jeralyn

Where was Gov. Sarah Palin last night? For an hour before the debate started, she was at an Irish pub in Philly, shaking hands and meeting people.

Palin appeared at the bar on 20th and Walnut streets last night to shake hands with her fans for about an hour before the first presidential debate. While the crowd inside was friendly, hundreds of people lined the street outside in protest with signs that read things like "Palin is Santorum With Lipstick."

She didn't take questions. [More...]

Palin did not take questions from reporters nor did she talk policy. She posed for pictures and chatted with supporters, many of whom were from outside the city limits, and made an approximately minute-long statement.

She will spend the week prepping for the debate in Philly and St. Louis, aside from one day of campaigning with McCain.

Palin was to spend Saturday and Sunday preparing for the debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She'll campaign with McCain in Columbus, Ohio on Monday, and will spend the rest of the week practicing for the debate in St. Louis. Biden was campaigning with Obama in North Carolina on Saturday.

It would be good not to lower expectations for Palin. She'll be prepped to the gills after a week in debate camp. It's not her first debate.
