Couric Interview: Palin Repeats Age Swipe At Biden (VIDEO)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/30/couric-asks-palin-how-she_n_130642.html

Watching this I noticed something others here have said recently. Palin over-answers and tries to fill in dead-air. The longer she talks, the deeper hold she digs. I hope she doesn't break that habit in the next 48 hours.

1. Palin Over-Answers her Questions because...

she is used to speaking to fools that are dumber than she is. :P

8. Alaska campaigning is a bit diffferent. Bullwinkle vote may/may not be off the table.

2. over-answers - typical of liars and people trying to cover the fact they have no clue

[CJCRANE]

3. Nervous babbling...

I noticed that straightaway on an interview before she was nominated.

7. Exactly

It's her Achilles Heel

9. Also a debating tactic.

Over-answering is a way to give a "non-answer" answer to a question and is often practiced for debates. She does it well and to those who aren't any smarter than she is, it sounds like a real answer. It's just more proof of the dumbing down of America. Sheeple will believe anything so we have to fight the lies AND THE STUPIDITY.

10. I noticed something completely different

She exhibits two problems, flight of ideas and word salad. Something is going on with that woman. She reminds me of many of the manic depressives I've dealt with in psych during their mania. She is bursting with energy and struggles to sit still. Her thoughts tumble out so quickly they're totally disorganized.

Kids, it's either mania or meth, and my money's on at least hypomania.

Palin just aint right.

11. That's very intersting

Thank you for this observation.

I made a mistake watching McCain debate -- I kept waiting for his big blow-up moment. Because of this focus I wasn't as keen to notice that he had a very high baseline level of anger throughout the debate. So I'm trying to keep more of an open mind with the upcoming debate,

12. If it's true she will not be able to contain this Thursday....also

They can't take the chance of medicating her.

[CJCRANE]

15. Yes - "word salad"

that's what I thought when I saw the first interview with Couric (but didn't initially want to mention it as it may be a clinical term).

[SmileyRose]

17. No, she's just a poser.

i know these people. All hat, no cattle types. they always run their mouths. Let them talk long enough and everyone figures out they are posers.

[JimWis]

13. I agree - she does over - answer, and Thursday night she will

do it even more to try and fill the time allotted to her. And I think it will be obvious. It may be a debating skill, but she's not that good at it. I also noticed in her interviews, she gets overly defensive when she doesn't need too.

14. kick n/t

16. Beauty paegant contestant type answers "and the such as" n/t
