Sarahcuda is going to knock it out of the park Thursday night, winning the debate by over 60% of the vote. My guess? 67% of those polled will say that she's the winner.

Most people with analytical minds, and who understand the issues, would surely have given McCain a landslide victory in the debate last Friday. Point by point, McCain had it over Obama. Yet, the public consensus is that Obama won.

So, unless Biden drops dead on the debate stage, Palin will lose the debate. Biden is known for his gaffes, but, that doesn't seem to have affected anything in the polls. If Biden doesn't drop dead in the debate, then Palin will have to score a knockout on every single question or issue. Nothing less will get her a victory.

If she performs the same as McCain, with his non-partisan attitude on the economy, then Biden will win on that point. Remember that voters are presently blaming republicans for all the problems plaguing America. Until McCain or Sarah can turn that perception around, and start naming names and pointing fingers, and doing so in front of as many Americans as possible, the debates won't matter and the election is lost.

...voters are presently blaming republicans for all the problems plaguing America...

At least, the MSM is telling you so. The other day I had a should-have-known-better businesswoman confidently imply to me that, essentially, Democrats are the "good guys." I quietly responded, "Well, I'm a lassaize fair capitalist myself," and said no more. It shut her up so fast I know it's not the first time she's discovered that the MSM lied about somebody.

And there's the conundrum. For one thing, in business life as in the military, you "Never talk politics in the mess." It's risky in business. It's always nice when you can read between the lines and find a like-minded fellow traveler in business, and there are a LOT of them.

And there's human nature, sheeps versus rams. Sheeps' choices are made with regard to how others will perceive them, or what is perceived as safest. Rams are who they follow. We are a nation of individuals; the amorphous "they" presented by the media is an illusion. There is nothing new under the sun.

Seems what you really mean to say is that the MSM will refuse to present the truth to people, and that you trust the MSM is the lead ram. Maybe you're right, but if you are, it's whining about what is. That's why ...

is flawed. If they did, your all-powerful Oz Media would twist it to suit itself, and it would be construed and hammered as the most ugly divisive politics ever. You already KNOW THAT, right?

So what are you going to do, just stand there and bleed? It's a dumb way of accepting things. Here's the deal: people are people, and Americans of all generations are unique in that they chose America. The MSM distorts perceptions of reality. Cynics make the mistake of equating being a cynic with being a realist. The difference between a cynic and a realist is that the cynic is afraid to do anything but reject the positive possibilities within all factors involved.
