Bandaged
NBC/NJ's Matthew Berger reports that there's ample family action on Sarah Palin's plane from Flagstaff to St. Louis. An inside look:
- Palin is wearing a large bandage on her right palm. She slipped and fell while jogging on Monday at the ranch. She will wear the bandage tonight.
- Piper and Willow Palin came to the back of the plane on the flight from Flagstaff to St. Louis. Piper handed out black licorice twists to the press and Secret Service. Willow gave out stickers that read "Vote for Piper's Mom," and Piper signed them in pink marker. Piper was wearing a blue hoodie sweatshirt that read "Alaska Grown." The conversation was off the record.
- Palin did debate prep outside all day Tues and Wed at the ranch, with foreign policy advisor Randy Scheunemann as Biden. They broke Wed night for dinner at the ranch - steak and twice-baked potatoes - and then resumed in the evening. Attending: the Palin family (Sarah, Todd, Willow and Trig) and advisors.
- Cindy McCain is not on the plane from Flagstaff.
- Palin's parents will be at the debate in St. Louis.
- Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said the governor was "eager to lay out the contrast of her record of executive leadership and Joe Biden's 35 years in the halls of Congress."
