From Politico:
Sarah Palin may not be appearing on this Sunday’s talk shows, but the Republican vice presidential nominee will nonetheless be Issue No. 1.
The Alaska governor’s impact on the red-hot presidential race is certain to dominate discussion on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” as Democratic Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and former Republican Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Jane Swift mull the Palin factor.
ABC’s “This Week” also features a pair of prominent female political figures discussing Palin — Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), a staunch backer of Democrat Barack Obama, and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a surrogate forRepublican John McCain.

Alaska Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican, will handle the Palin defense.

Meanwhile, in an effort to combat her lifelong vapidness, Sarah Palin is borrowing Dick Cheney's bunker in that undisclosed location, hunkering down with a policy prep team said to include ex-Democrat Joe Lieberman, Miss Teenage USA South Carolina, the Avon Lady, and the head of the NRA.
