Sarah Palin's Relaxing Debate Prep at John McCain's Sedona Ranch

This just in from Sen. John McCain's Arizona ranch, where his top aides are prepping McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for Thursday's debate with Sen. Joe Biden. It's been a fact of recent political life that when candidates seek debate prep sites, they choose calm over convenience and that's certainly the case here. Check out Meghan McCain's photos of the ranch. Here's what the campaign just told us about the Sedona, Arizona scene:

The Governor's debate prep today is taking place outdoors near a creek on the scenic McCain ranch in Sedona. The serenity and beauty of this setting has contributed to what can be characterized as a relaxed environment. Her family (Todd, Willow, Piper, and Trig) are also at the ranch. Several advisors are participating.
