I feel like I shouldn’t watch the debate...sorta like that feeling if you watch your favorite sports team play an important game, they’ll lose because you’re watching. ;o)

[LucyJo]

Thanks. Great ad! GO SARAH!

[Diogenesis]

Disgraced, self-serving, Gwen Ifill, having refused to drop out,
after having been caught not duly admitting a financial interest
to the Debate Commission and Sen McCain, has STOLEN
FOR HERSELF and few $$$$$ ALL APPEARANCE OF FAIRNESS
IN THE ONLY VP DEBATE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

She should be fired.
PBS should lose its nonprofit IRS tax status.

[Right Wing Assault]

Obama’s ears are so dang big...he very well could have.

When he turned his head, I though I saw the corner of a boom-box in their. Or was it a laptop?

Levin just said “He’s never seen a candidate so intent on p*ssing away an election”. ... I hope Palin does exactly what she did during the convention. I just don’t know what that is right now. *L*

[RoseofTexas]

Amn Klobucher(sp?) D-MN being interview by Shep looks EXTREMELY giddy. I bet all the RATS are giddy today having their Emperor leading nationally by 5pts.! UGH!

Yeh, he may be leading by the polls, but have you been polled? I haven’t. I wonder who exactly they are “polling”?

And wasn’t John Kerry ahead at this point when he was running?

[IMissPresidentReagan]

I definatley know that feeling. (I have the same feeling anytim UK plays dUKe in college basketball.) :) I’ll probably watch but only if I get to FReep at the same time. ;)

[MOgirl]

Hello,

My goodness, that is exactly how I feel!

I was thinking just a while ago that is the psalm to say for Sarah, Psalm 27... it’s perfect, and it is one of the readings in the Catholic church today, hmmmm.....

The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.

...Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.

Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.

I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Absolutely! Gwen Awful didn’t even disclose her conflict of interest. Ugh. I hope that enough people are aware of this farce to be able to openly see it for themselves.

[LucyJo]

Static. ; )

[andy58-in-nh]

I’m betting Biden will have had a few belts before he goes on stage.

I can't pretend to speak for Joe, but I know I will.

[2ndDivisionVet]

"Is this the real live thread or is there another one?"

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is....

[Sensei Ern]

“Sorry you aren’t feeling well.”

I feel AWFUL. I know I am running a high fever, but I don’t have a thermometer, and I am too woozy to ride to CVS to get one. As soon as I figure out whether it is a cold or the flu, I’ll take proper action.

Thanks to all who are well wishing.

Now, let’s focus on the Palin beat down of the 2nd loser in defeat.

[Ladysmith]

That is great! Thanks for posting that!

A couple prayer threads for Sarah and the debate tonight:
