Oh yes, everyone has advice and I can't help but weigh in:
Practice verbal judo with Sarah. For every answer, try to follow up with a question that is a logical extension of her assertions.
For example (from McCain in the 1st debate), he intimated that to pull out of Iraq would've been to let those soldiers die in vain. Barack was a bit too subtle in saying no soldier who follows his commander dies in vain. Instead, I would've asked McCain back if he really thought all the names on the wall of the Vietnam memorial died in vain. McCain clearly thought that war was lost and not worth repeating in Iraq.
She doesn't even need to go off her talking points (though she will!) because most of those points, taken to their logical extreme, fly in the face of common sense. Besides, if you ask the question sincerely, its the best way not to look condescending.
Also, she screams for comparisons to Bush and Cheney. I like the image she conjured up already: a pit bull. (Bush's) stubborn determination combined with (Cheney's) go-for-the-jugular attack instinct. Like we need another pit-bull in the White House.
