| Granholm to Stand In For Palin During Biden's Debate Prep |
| 2008-09-11 |
| Gov. Jennifer Granholm has agreed to help vice presidential candidate Joe Biden prepare for his Oct. 2 debate with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Biden told a group of supporters at a fund-raiser Tuesday night in Chicago that Granholm will spend four days with him as a stand-in for Palin to prepare for the debate. If she manages to get five words in the entire time, it will be a victory against His Verbosity.... The two women have more than just being governors in common. They're close to each other in age. Granholm is 49 and Palin is 44. And both competed in beauty pageants in their youth. Granholm went to a Hollywood acting school and appeared once on ''The Dating Game'' TV show. She later decided to go to college at the University of California-Berkeley. Liz Boyd, spokeswoman for the governor confirmed that "The governor has been asked to help and is pleased to accept." The debate will be held at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. |

| #1 With any luck, Granholm will do for Biden what she has done for Michigan. And what's up with Michigan having a Canadian governor? Anybody I ask about this just looks down at their shoes and mumbles something about "we do not discuss it with outsiders". |
