"Sarah is doing fabulous"

Unfortunately, I disagree. She is doing reasonably well on her presentation kills, but I think Biden is scoring way more debate points. Palin does not come across as a ditz, but she is not really making the best arguments for her case. IMHO

Two more points for Palin.

“Your plan is a flag of surrender.”

“How can you defend Obama now?”

She’s kind of drowning on the whole Iraq thing.

He lost all his personableness very early in the debate. He won’t look at her when he talks.

He sure got made no sense on the health care issue with all those statistics he threw around.

She’s whooping his butt on energy and taxes.

Ifill: “Your time is up, dear.”

When Palin said she wouldn't always answer question the way the moderator wanted, Ifill shifted gears. She'll show this upstart Gov. a thing or two. "Dear" or "Sweetie" just like Obama.

Nothing on the CRA, nothing on the implied guarantee, but everything on”greed.” On the bailout, McCain/Palin are no different than Obama.

So how is she doing? I just got in from work. I’ve heard some rote programmed BS, and some good Reaganesque stuff on the radio. Uneven performance, from what I understand.

Best,

Chris

If Biden is in favor of “clean burning coal,” why didn’t he oppose Clinton when Clinton created the Escalante National Monument in Utah?

That now off-limits Utah coal is low sulphur and clean burning. Another source of such coal is in Indonesia and is owned by the Lippo Group, who gave campaign donations to Clinton....follow the money.

Biden looks like he’s squinting.....are the lights in his eyes?

I don’t agree with that assessment at all... She took a moment to get her thoughts together, but she directly responded to what Biden said, and she TROUNCED him!

Dimwit Biden states he thinks the Earth is being overheated by man... I think he means all that hot air he is spewing. I wonder how it is that the other planets are being heated by us on Earth, Joe?

I continue to be shocked and disappointed the both McCain and Palin have not brought up Frank Raines, Penny Pretzker, Jim Johnson, ACORN and Obama getting far more money per year from Fannie and Freddie than any other Senator.

If one of them did this they would see at least a 5 point bump in the polls immediately.

They are allowing the Demoncrats to pin the whole sub prime mess on the Republicans, when it was mainly and demonstrably a Democrat made disaster.

CNN has that annoying lines showing viewer approval from “uncommitted” voters and they are going way up on Biden’s comments about Iraq but dropping when Palin speaks. I wonder if this is another group of “independents” who are actually Democrats.
