I never watch CNN, PMSNBC, ABC,CBS, NBC. Only Fox, and then again sometimes I can’t even watch them, especially BOR, S Smith, and Alam Colmes. So far everyone I’ve heard is greatly impressed with Sarah when they weren’t that impressed with McCain. If the GOP win this thing, it’s because of her and inspite of McCain.

Palin did good, and that’s good enough for me. I think it kills the growing media narrative to hound her out of the race.

OBiden Cried. Did he really?
He was "taken to the Woodshed" by Gov. Palin.
.....Is he unstable?

Other than naming a Civil War general instead of Gen. McKiernan, and misstating troops strengths?

Interesting that everyone on foxnews missed it as well as most of us.

You may be right about the SNL skit. The juveniles there would they were way cool to do that (rolling eyes here). On the other hand, you absolutely won’t see a skit with Joe Biden mentioning Scranton and Exxon’s 4 billion dollar tax cut 3,000 times.

You won't because nobody would laugh at it - it's boring political mumbo-jumbo that means nothing. The maverick thing on the other hand became so silly towards the end, that Palin made it into a self-mockery and she seemed to have no clue how silly she sounded. If you played any of those drinking games that were being passed around by the college kids, "maverick" would have gotten your stomach pumped at the local hospital alone.

I know McCain probably holds a lot of animosity towards Rove over what Rove did in 2000, but he needs to clean house and get Rove on board ASAP, because between these two debates, there are some people giving both McCain and Palin some bad advice. It could very well be that if you're in a vacuum chamber, you have no idea how silly something sounds or how foolish something looks, but that's no excuse. Rove needs to be running this campaign.

Not good enough..sorry folks..She needed to devastate him to get us back in the race.She HAD to tie Obama to the financial crisis..show how he took tons of $$$ off of Fanny and Freddy......Ayers NEEDED to be brought up..Gloves off was necessary..I’m totally dissapointed tonight ..

I disagree. I wish she would have mentioned Carter's CRA and Clinton pushing for even lower standards for the loans.

Other than that though, I think she more than held her own. I think she will help their numbers and make the race tighter, but, I think its McCain's job to take off the gloves and talk about Fannie and Freddie.Obama and Biden both attack, so why leave the attacking all to Palin? McCain needs to step up to the plate and help with that and not leave it all to her, otherwise she ends up looking like she is just 'passing the buck' and pointing fingers.

Here is my review of the debate for what its worth. I thought Palin did great. I am so happy for her. Even if McCain ends up losing this election Sarah can definetely hold her head high and of course we can still hold on to those Sarah Palin 2012 bumper stickers. I thought she was sharp and funny and dare I say it spunky. I loved what she said about Reagan.

One thing I wish Palin had done was when Biden bragged about how he helped defeat Bork. Palin could have come back and point out how the Borking of Bork was probably the beginning of the current nastiness that we see in much of the political discourse.

But all and all I say great job Sarah. My prayers for you were definetely answered.

And if that was not good enough. I have even better news. The Cubs are losing 6-0. The natives are getting restless.

This is the Sarah we saw at the RNC. This is the Sarah I witnessed first hand in Grand Rapids. THIS is the Sarah America has now seen.

Let's hope, this Sarah, lights a fire under McCain's ass and gets him back in gear.
