Check factcheck.org or politifact.com before the debates, look at the facts you have stretched in the past - and don't repeat them. Instead use only things that are 100% true (there are more than enough) ... this way after the debates they will have to discuss the TRUTH .. not say you are misrepresenting anything.

Don't let the GOP frame the debate to describe Palin as a reformer. I watched some of the RNC tonight (Tuesday) and all they drilled on was she was a reformer.
