we’ll have to check this out, but Katie’s Italian Restaurant on Scott Street in Wilmington DE closed years ago.

LOL! Looks like that might be another, "There you go again, Joe" moment.

Urban Leaque Young Professionals. Lot of democrats... and the hit is ?!? Talking about economic concerns.

How did the candidates do. Mixed reactions.

Palin skirted the issues.
Our group is more progressive but they are reasonable. They were siding towards Biden.

...

A mostly liberal crowd.

As you heard from that young lady, Palin held her own...

I was looking for this thread during the debate and couldn't find it!

Thanks for the ping, RG! Yes, our dear Lord answered our prayers in the affirmative!!!

Governor Palin did one heck of a bang up job! How proud we all are!!! We LOVE Sarah! : )

Now her conservative critics (aka traitors) should just shut up!!!!!! (And YOU, Kathleen Parker, are one!!!)

"Again, I hope I am wrong, but I think that she needed to do more than just not mess up tonight."

Well, expectations were so low among some people that the fact that she presented herself well came across as a triumph, and that's good as far as it goes. But some of us think she missed seem real opportunities to score actual debating points.

To: Don'tMessWithTexas

The whole debate seemed intentionally rushed. The short time period for answers resulted in a shot gun approach that limited real substance, and I think was designed to ruffle Palin, and prevent O’Biden from getting too long winded and making a mistake.

I do agree with some here though that Sarah, while as cute as feisty as ever, did not answer many questions asked of her. I winced when Gwen was asking about the bailout and Biden went off on lack of republican regulation during the last 8 years, then when it was Sarah’s turn she said “Let’s talk about taxes”.
That was bad. Why do they refuse to hit the rats on this crap?

And she needs to never say the word maverick again. Never.

Well, if they win she can say it all she wants.

He lost a wife and daughter. His two sons were gravely injured. nuff said.

He's also tried to score political point by accusing the other driver of being drunk...though HIS wife pulled out in front of other driver.

This is really very sad, and I cannot imagine myself ever getting over this had it happened to me, but what was the context? Why did he bring this up?

She did start out a little fast and scripted for the first 15-20 minutes. After that she became herself. Not criticizing her. I think in most debates, the first 15 minutes or so the all debaters tend to be chitterly.

Sarah rocked and did incredibly well!!

Can I get some prayer for the Cubs now? Down 6-0. Ugh.

Prayers offered up for a Cubs victory (or consolation for you, buddy).

She also tucked in a little, “I’m proud of my country...and I always have been...” Lovin’ it!

She said that GLOBAL WARMING was not caused by MAN mostly, Biden said MAN was the major cause...Biden, Are we driving on TITAN? (To those of you in RioLinda, it is a moon of saturn, not a pick up truck by NISSAN) :-)
