Sarah Palin Arrives In St. Louis For The Debate (VIDEO)

Watch video below of Sarah Palin arriving by plane in St. Louis with her family ahead of Thursday night's vice presidential debate.

Here's the press pool report from the airport:

On the flight from Flagstaff, Arizona to St. Louis, Palin spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said that the Alaska governor is looking forward to tonight's debate, "She is eager to lay out the contrast of her record of executive leadership and Joe Biden's 35 years in the halls of congress."

While in the air, we learned that while running on the McCain ranch on Monday afternoon Palin slipped on some gravel and cut the palm of her right hand. She is wearing a large band-aid on the palm of her hand.

Yesterday, debate prep went all day on the ranch. She spent another day doing mock debates outside with McCain Senior Foreign Policy Advisor Randy Schneumann who "played" the role of Joe Biden. The group broke for dinner at 7:30pm local and her advisors along with her family which include Todd, Willow, Piper and Trig. They ate steaks and twice baked potatoes on picnic tables outside.

Also during the flight, Willow and Piper came to the back of the plane to pass out black licorice and stickers. Willow was wearing a grey T-shirt and jeans while Piper wore a blue sweatshirt that read "Alaska Grown", jeans and missing her two front teeth which apparently is not a new development, but a few months old.

Gov.Palin having Her Hair down isn't enough for Me to speculate that She will be using a "Ear-piece" during the Debate Tonight, since most Radio/Digital-Receivers can be mad to fit a Person skin-tone & small enough to be placed just about anywere on a Person!

The only way to make sure that none of the Candidates aren't using such Devices is to give both of them a Electrical-Swipe, right before They both step out on Stage Tonight!

I know what I'm saying may sound far-fetch at the moment, however if things like this hasn't & isn't already being done, then I guess ythey will sometime in Future Debates, unless We all are just going to trust Presidential Candidates & everybody else........!

[jeplanet]

I don't think even that would help her much.

[dve2z]

Let's start sending applications to McCain for the future cabinet posts. I feel qualified!!

[drsmc41]

LMAO. Now, that's a great idea! You have point. Heck, for any job that I would not have applied. I am now submitting my applications.

[trinity29]

i am not one for conspiracy theories, but SP has her hair down today and i am wondering do they check to see if the candidates have anything in their ears or not feeding them answers?

[All in All]

Good Question, I would hope that Candidates were checked Before & after each Debate, it comes with the times!

[rzan1]

With the Republican party, you can expect there to be cheating and criminal activity somewhere along the line. I think they should check before the debate starts, off camera.

[tristan90us]

She stole that baby from willow. Give it back, Sarah.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

Yup. Yup. Yup. You betcha!

[prscnt1]

Has anybody ever seen Todd Palin holding the baby recently? If not, look into the audiance, may be for the first time he will be holding bristol's first one claimed by sarah as her fifth. You get pregnant fast after giving birth.

[gypsysoul111]

if she is preggie at all...where did she go? maybe all that "t and a" she had was still coming off from the birth!

[jeplanet]

Get over it, you guys.
Jeeeesh.

[Sylmason]

They aren't in school because they are her trophies.......................

[BabsfromKansas]

Did you see this new photo of McCain and Sarah?

LOL!

[mykindoftown]

Most parents of babies transport them in an infant carrier that can double as a car seat or in a stroller -- even for short distances. From the first time I saw her toting around her baby with its head flopping around like a toy, I thought it was bizarre. Is this child strapped in a safety seat on her airplane and limos? And just who is taking care of her children and educating them during the campaign? First Dude?

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

I think Department of Children and Families should definately investigate this very serious matter. It is clear by her labor story that she puts ambition above the very life of her children. Poor Trig.

[guamarcy]

Palin flew to Texas during her last month of pregnancy as a 43/44 year old carrying a special needs baby then flew back to Alaska to deliver the baby early. She appears quite negligent in her care and concern about her born and unborn children.

[eyecon]

Schlepping that baby around is nothing short of child abuse. The political advantage wore off a month ago. Dimwit should send Todd home with those kids.

[LongreachAU]

so now she's using her kids in the campaign....hmmm.

[helonias]

So why aren't her kids in school?

[Mercurial]

Thats what I have been wondering. Do these children go to school?

[happycat]

I totally hate this woman. I especially hate how she uses her baby as a prop.

[repugnicansfearme]

Man, don't let the drunk husband drive.

[avinash]

Isn't baby Bristol supposed to be 5+ months pregnant?
Doesn't look that way ... to me ...
Someone needs to check her photos from the GOP convention and today.

[Mercurial]

I think that is the 14 year old. I'm just wondering why she never seems to be in school.

[auntiecairo]

That's Willow, not Bristol - don't think anyone has seen poor Bristol or the baby daddy since the convention.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

Huffpo had a post awhile back (i think it was that wierd 236 section) that they were at some event and they barely looked at each other. When the event was over Levi walked off and didn't even say goodbye. So much for sex education.

[Amennyc]

What more do the children need to learn? Sex education is out and all you really need to know is that the earth is 6,000 yrs old, flat, and when in doubt just ask God and he drop u an e mail.
