When biden put complete blame for the sub prime mess on Republican deregulation and Palin gave him a pass on it (as McCain did Friday) I turned the debate off.
What little I saw was ifill completely in the tank and Palin now McCainized. I can't stand to watch lying dems and rollover Republicans.
McCain has allowed the dems and msm to completely define him on the sub prime issue. obama will use this uncontested tactic to win this election. Stunningly bad move by McCain.
It's too bad you turned the debate off. While she could have had a better response, she did extremely well. And she got better and better as the debate went on.

Ifill is one lib that doesn’t make me cringe during Sunday morning roundtable discussions. But she couldn’t resist lobbing that Cheney scud in there...
To: Syncro
Geez - the CBS group that was doing the instapoll was trashing Sarah. They certainly were not even listening to what she was saying.
At the end, they gave a small token to her by polling them and asking who thought she did well.
One of them said that Biden strayed more from the subject. Another of them said that she connected better with people than Biden did.
BUT THEY DIDN’T RATE IT THAT WAY WITH THEIR KNOBS.
They did admit that most of them leaned towards the Obama camp.

I was watching the CNN panel of “undecided” and it was so obvious it's stacked with Obama supporters claiming to be undecided. One old lady just said she liked Obama’s answers better than Palin. I didn't see Obama there.

That's the first good word Noonan had to say about Palin since she was picked by McCain. That's incredible!

Don’t see the “youts” so short. I teach college. Right now, it’s no worse than 60/40 in my classes. Heck, every year we take between 50 and 80 kids to C-PAC! And every single one of them knows Social Security is bankrupt!

Even Pacifica (Hard Left) Radio hosts are saying that she is better than the Tina Fey portrayal would have you believe.
Now they are calling her a misogynist.

I thought Bush lost his debates too, badly, and then was pleasantly surprised when people thought he did well. Maybe that'll be the case here too. As you point out, Bush actually won his two sets of debates. The reason was that he came across to most voters as genuine, real, without artifice. As a consequence, they inherently trusted him.
Palin has the same advantage...in spades. And Joe Biden might be even more boring and pretentious than John Kerry.
It was not a favorable matchup for the Democrats. Not at all...

CBS’s panel of undecided idiots seemed to be split evenly. CBS disclosed that this panel was leaning obama prior to the debate... so a very good result.

Thanks to all you FReepers for your good thoughts and prayers.
