She is doing well enough that it’ll give usually left leaning women permission to vote for her.

It just looks to me like she does not seem at all comfortable. Too many of her answers have been rambling for 30 seconds where she doesn’t even say anything. She needs to give some specifics, hit Obama and Biden for being liberals, but I haven’t heard anything like that. She keeps saying that McCain will do certain things like win the war, or fix the economy, but she never says how - only that she and McCain are mavericks, reformers, blah, blah.

She looked nervous at the beginning, but once she got past the economic questions, and into defense/foreign policy, she looked very confident. She needs to be schooled in free market economics. Her instincts are good, but she needs to be more knowlegeable.

She has often spoken in generalities (she's not a conservative intellectual, but a conservative woman of action), but in her defense, she has often blown by the questions to make points of her own, like comparing McCain's energy policy to Obama's.

Biden, on the other hand, mixes in a lot of policy specifics, which makes him sound knowledgeable, but is also often empty talk.

She disappointed me with the "support our public schools" crap, but she's from a family of teachers. Hopefully John will explain vouchers to her.

She also seems very positive and upbeat, which works well on TV. She's finishing strong. And now Joe's getting mad at the Maverick. He looks bad.

She can’t open that line up because McCain is such a lib...and she knows it.

Remember...he maligned himself with the democrats on many issues. If she bashes Biden and Obama she bashes her boss.

Bosniak/Bosniac is a correct term.

It's a first for me. The only term that I've ever seen or heard used anywhere in the media is Bosnian.

Look, I know the difference between a quarterback and an armchair quarterback. The QBs are on TV, and the armchair QBs, like me, are on FR.

This has been pretty disappointing. It has gotten a little bit better as it’s gone along, but I nearly turned it off after the first 15 minutes because the message was so awful. She needed to attack hard, but she simply hasn’t. Biden has.

Biden keeps being given extra time! And Ifil’s VP questions were aimed at McCain’s age and Cheney.

Sarah is doing very well against a DC insider who has been eating lobster and drinking Chivas on the public dole since before there were Bosniacs. Since before there was Barack America. Since before the TV coverage of the great depression.

I only wish Sarah were hitting Biden with the facts on the subprime mortgage crisis harder, telling the world that it was the Democrats who prevented John McCain from rescuing Fannie and Freddie years ago, and that it was the Democrats who forced banks to loan money to those who could not pay it back years ago.

Sarah's only fault is in being too nice and too real. Biden is a reptile who parrots lies and meaningless statistics. She should hit him and Thulsa Doom with hard facts that the pundits can verify tomorrow. The Democrats are sleaze dogs; whack them with a rolled-up C-Span.
