Okay, folks. Let's keep an eye on this debate and see if Sarah can beat down hairplug.

[Onerom99]

I agree.. She did okay, but I don’t think she did nearly as well as others on here did.

[Bronzy]

That is okay. Traffic is massive. That is why we ask for donations. Sarah did us proud. Now is time to donate to the best forum for conservative voice.

NOTE: I am behind in my donations.

biden is giving advice to palin?

a bit much.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Well, gotta say, at first I thought it sounded like she was reciting rehearsed lines too much, but as the debate went on — she NAILED it. Hurray!

[mylife]

I agree. She was fair.

[peggybac]

I want a little girl like Piper!!!! She’s just too cute.

[CommieCutter]

Lots of “new” faces around FR tonight- all very down on Gov Palin...

I knew the was a reason I couldn’t get on for 20 minutes. They slowed the server.

[They'reGone2000]

Geez, I hope I sold some books tonight!

[waxer1]

I used to have a body like that. :-)

[donnab]

I think Ifill did fine.

[Eric Blair 2084]

In all honesty, there are a few things that I would’ve preferred her to handle a bit differently. HOWEVER, these negative posts - most of which say she sounds nervous... NOT AT ALL. She has held herself well, and she has NOT faltered. I was VERY nervous about tonight’s debate, and I am VERY pleased with how well she has done... Shot in on the media in her closing statement, by the way. I LOVED that!

She won a lot of undecideds with her plain spoken likeability. She pissed me off but I'm already in the bag and have no interest in a Saul Alinsky radical Marxist dressed up as a mainstream candidate. She is not gunning for my vote.

[Gondring]

HILARIOUS! NBC twisting Gov. Palin’s strength as...”she is a better debater...evading questions she didn’t want to answer...”

What slime.

[LibLieSlayer]

A fact that slips by some of these stump heads.

LLS

[Fawn]

Sarah did great....but Biden sounded very convincing....

[LS]

All I can say is . . .

God! This woman is CUTE!

[I got the rope]

Bull_hit! She gave Biden the last word on just about every question.

[airborne]

Now comes all the pundits spinning.

I wonder how many falsehoods came out of Biden’s mouth.

And if they will be swept under the carpet.

IMO, Palin won.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Oh, I disagree. I think she did a damn good job for someone who hasn’t been in this kind of pressure cooker performance before.

[elc]

You shouldn’t be. I have no idea what on earth you are talking about.

[Tribune7]

Biden wants to look like he wants to hang out with the Palins.
