Ryan: Not getting debate advice from Palin

USATODAY
GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan campaigns in Iowa.

Paul Ryan says he hasn't asked Sarah Palin for advice on his upcoming debate against Vice President Biden.

On the eve of the first debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney, the GOP vice presidential nominee told Bloomberg TV that he hasn't thought much about what he would do differently from Palin.

"What I plan on doing is offering our alternatives, showing what we believe, how we're going to do things differently so the country has a very clear choice to make," Ryan said in the interview.

The running mates will face off on Oct. 11 at Centre College in Danville, Ky. Tomorrow, Obama and Romney will meet at the University of Denver, in the first of their three debates.

Palin's debate performance four years ago was well-received and helped boost her image at a time when many voters across the country still did not know much about the Alaska governor. In a recent statement to The Weekly Standard, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee urged Romney and Ryan to "go rogue" and "break through the filter of the liberal media to communicate their message of reform."
