Fair enough. We all deal with tragic events differently and if I came across as too harsh to anybody, I apologize.

There is far too much to criticize the senior Senator from Delaware on but not on this topic.

Krauthammer thought she was charming, connected and should have fought back on the FM/FM legislation McCain tried to get passed in 2006 but the dems blocked it.

I suspect that they had her avoid some of these obvious things because they knew the Dems had canned witty responses prepared for them.

She stayed on message, was appealing, and did no harm. Thats a win.

the debate said Palin did better than they expected.

the Obama campaign said she connected with males but not women,

My wife doesn't follow politics much, but was solid for Palin when the debate was over and Palin, still miked, said "Where's my children?" The whole debate was won for her with those three words.

So far I've only watched half an hour of the debate (DVR) and I'm pulling my hair out. Palin is ignoring the questions, and she's ignoring what Senator Biden is saying. What the (bleep) is she doing!? Maybe she'll get better throughout the debates, but I'm finding them almost unwatchable. Very low score from me, I'm afraid.

Um...There's only one VP debate. I thought Palin did a fantastic job.

Let’s rephrase that shall we? No need to give Biden’s LIE more credence for those who may not be privy to the truth...

How about this instead, “Did [Biden] actually mention the INNOCENT MAN who he FALSELY ACCUSES of being a drunk and causing his wife and child’s death tonight?”

Gov Sarah Palin is that clean Breath of Alaskan air that is foreign to the smog gaspers in DC and just can’t handle. No, they are so used to inhaling the smoke they’re choking down like it is for everyone. Well America knows when they see the real thing and long to taste that cool breeze. We don’t like the slick rehearsed bilge but prefer common sense and American values. That is why the Libs hate politicians like Reagan, Bush, Thatcher or Truman since they don’t have complex answers trying to message their lies. No, the Palins of the World just tell you what they think from the hip and let the PC ninnies feign outrage.

Gov Palin irritated the ruling class of elitists both left and right when she said she didn’t care what they thought. That stuck her in the class of Bush/Reagan since she clearly embarrassed the Chablis sipping Republican avant guard. These so called conservatives who live in either DC or the Upper East Side claim to be conservative yet attend all the A list parties, don’t want to have to explain Gov Palin to their smug friends. They have to try to explain what it is to hunt or fish as well as tell their friends that there is somewhere besides the NE corridor. No these conservatives are more like Hilary than Sarah. Their idea of camping is having the windows open at the Hamptons, where they call fishbait; Sushi.

Most Conservatives who are unashamed pro-life, hunting, fishing, drilling for oil, raging heterosexual hayseeds; enjoy leaders who have backbones. We love Gov Palin as well as heroes who will sacrifice their freedom for ours and don’t need some sweet talking metrofag telling us why we should be ashamed of our Country. No we love our wives, families and Country just like Gov Palin. We respect and thank her for the fact that she is willing to risk her son for her Country. That is a sharp stick in the eye of the Cut&RunocRats. She’s not bitter that she’s an attractive woman and is wise enough to know what a gift that is. She is us and we are her.

Gov Palin is a leader in the mold of Harry Truman, willing to go after corruption wherever that may be. She found Republican dirt in Anchorage and made sure it was eliminated and now she is ready to take that Columbo Overcoat to the District of Corruption. This is the rare breath of crystalline air America has lacked, making the Establishment nervous. Many of those elites know that if corruption is seriously rooted out, their friends could be in prison. So like always, DC circles the wagons, wanting to kill the calvary, which is their Stalincrat way.

The sad part is that some of our token conservatives like Georgie Will and Peggy Nooner are being tools for their liberal colleagues. You know, those Poopitsir Prize scribes who haven’t had an original idea in 20 yrs. They are the porch monkeys for the DNC as they turn their backs on Conservatism to be allowed on the veranda. These conservative Uncle Toms know that if they attack a Republican they get instant cred, a couple of back pats and an extra helping of brie. At least Judas got 40 pieces of silver.

Gov Sarah Palin has brought a freshness as well a fun ladylike charm to a Party that has been lacking for the last few decades. The femihags have told us that women can either be successful or have a family. Oh yeah, they reluctantly agreed that you could be a Hilary and have one child if it is raised by the state. They showed their true allegiance when they supported BJ and slutted every woman he assaulted. Gov Palin destroys feminism by being a happy wife, mother and Governor w/o nepotism. A self made woman in a manly man’s world was the feminag dream and now their worst nightmare. She makes the National Organization of Broads obsolete. So what if she doesn’t speak DC spin fluently. She ain’t there to woo the self-absorbed pundicRats.

Gov. Palin will clean the trough in the District of Corruption and root out the Hogs that caused this meltdown. Of course there will be resistance, but even though she’s hated by the usual enemies, as a woman she will be harder to attack politically. Unlike Obummer who is up to his feminine neck in corruption, deflecting his guilt like Jackie Chan some will stick. Sarah Palin and the Sheriff can throw these corrupt politicians behind bars although Dodd, Frank, Raines and Johnson would look good decorating some DC Lampposts. She can start naming the crooks now and give them a taste of what they are in store over the next 4 years. Then there will be an crisp Alaskan Breeze blowing over the gaseous swamp bringing a breath of fresh air from Foxy Lady Palin.

Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops

"...Sarah came across as somewhat liberal tonight."

They're going after the Hillary PUMAs and independents. They are utilizing populism during an economic crisis. Who do you think will govern more conservatively, Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin?

It is called staying on message. Ignore the moderator when you want to make a point. Palin was in charge, not Gwen.

He talked about his landmark legislative accomplishments, like 100,000 cops on the street. I seem to remember that that produced practically no cops and was a complete flameout. Help?

In her defense, Biden has about 25 years more experience at this sort of thing, and in that respect she is doing reasonably well. But this isn’t golf, and she’ll get no handicap points.

People used exactly the same yardstick for 0bama last week. As the inexperienced one, all he needed to do in a debate on international affairs was to hold his own. He did. Tonight, the roles were reversed. I'd say she did much better than 0bama did last week.

It was an accurate statement that zinged home. I liked her "Say it ain't so Joe" line pretty good also.
