Simply stated, Palin has once again given McCain hope tonite. She did an EXCELLENT JOb. She got the veteran Senator angry and upset.

She unnerved him and she is cool, calm, and collected. She is informed, articulate, and most of all, she's herself.

Very good.........she exceeded anyone's expectations.

Yeah... for some reason the Dems are able to let illogical statements roll off their tongues without batting an eye.

Trying to spin McCain’s vote on the bill into him not wanting to protect the troops. Hope the sarcasm was evident in my earlier post...

Again. Biden’s an idiot.

FR is working just fine for me tonight.

Funny about ‘nukular’ - that’s actually how we learned to say it “back in my day”.

Whooo Hooo! She quoted the “Air Raiding Villages comment”. You can bet Sean Hannity is smiling right now.

If Biden says, “Let me say this one more time” one more time, I’m gonna hurl. What an arrogant jerk. He’s beginning to sigh like Algore.

I just want to make a comment here about how Ifill is running this debate. I think Lehrer did a MUCH better job. She seems to be leaving the basics of debate behind, and she is denying the candidates an opportunity at times to rebut some of these questions and statements.

I just heard another HUGE sigh from Biden? Anyone else hearing that? How will that translate to those watching at home? I’m thinking that it will signal that Palin is kicking his butt frankly!

Plugs O’biden is obviously very flustered with his answers. He can’t even complete thought before trying to start another one.

I'm just waiting for Biden to piss Palin off at some point soon. I think the barracuda is building.

And on a side note, I'm waiting for the NBC show “The Castro Brothers.” Episode one: “The One about the Exploding Cigar”.

Political blather aside, Biden comes off like a pissed off jerk (or alpha-male). Sarah comes off as pleasant, and is making eye contact with the camera. I think that alone is more important than what they’re saying.

FR may have slowed down but just for grins (while searching for beta) I hit a DUd link that was unresponsive. They are toast today too.

She is coming back on Biden over and over and over, and not losing her cool either. She even made him smile a couple times when she was right.

He on the other hand is lying through his teeth, and she caught him in all of them.

I am not getting a warm fuzzy about Palin here tonight. She has missed a lot of chances to nail Obama and Biden but let them just pass by. Why didn’t she mention that Obama called Iran and Venezuela ‘small countries that don’t pose a serious threat’? That would have been a homerun.

Biden is giving numbers, specifics, details, while Palin keeps repeating the same phrases over and over while not giving any specifics.

I hate to say this, and I’m sure I will get flamed for it here, but she is getting destroyed and is being made to look like an amateur by Biden. The only positive thing going for her is that Biden is acting a little like an ass with his sighing and laughing at times.

I need a strong drink.

Biden is not doing his shiite eating grin anymore. Glad she takes him to task, no one does. He thinks he is intelligent. She is a quick study I must say. Joe is getting fed up with this BS. He is not used to this.

We don’t need a surge in Afghanistan, what we need is more troops??????? I thought that’s what the surge was. Good response from Palin.

Biden’s starting to sound more and more like a dope.
