Okay, folks. Let's keep an eye on this debate and see if Sarah can beat down hairplug.

[Big Horn]

I watch Fox only like you.
Sarah about nailed it. When Bidin was using his time about who voted how and when, Palin was talking to the people about how McCain and her will fight for freedom and she understands what its like to sort out the bills and try to get by. She related with the folks.

ROTFLMAO!

[scott says]

Morris annihilated Colmes! Wow! Great TV, LOL
Colmes is a weasel of the highest order, blech, I spit on the ground.

[9YearLurker]

McCain gets energized by Palin, too. I betcha she’s put some new life into him again tonight.

[patriciaruth]

Amen, and thank you, dear Lord, for letting the country see the real Governor Palin.

[conservativepoet]

Yep. . . you’re right.

[AGreatPer]

"WOW! The toe-sucker is BLASTING Colmes on FOX!!!"

That was the best put down on TV I have ever seen. Glad you caught it too.

I was really let down by Palin tonight. She was constantly going back to her stump speeches, which seemed rehearsed. I really wanted her to hit a home run to reinvigorate the McCain campaign, but I think she hit a single, maybe a double at best.

I think this election is Obama’s to lose now. I am still voting for McCain, but after his Senate vote and Palin’s weak performance tonight, I am not enthused.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

You guys are AWESOME!!!!!!!! THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

yOU are truly great Freedom Warriors!

[warsaw44]

While I disagree with you on Sarahs performance I sincerely welcome you to FR!

THE DBM IS EMBARRASING THEMSELVES TONIGHT.

I can’t imagine how they don’t see how fake they look with teh WEAK denials.

We have to be careful here, but I just checked the Wilmington DE yellow pages for Katie’s Italian Restaurant. There is no listing in the Verizon yellow pages effective March 2008.

Katie’s Italian Restaurant closed in Wilminton DE over 10 years ago.

So, Joe, who is it that is out of touch and doesn’t get it?

Biden sounded like he was hammering McCain, whether what he was saying was true or not will have to be seen. Sarah made Biden stumble, badly, and he really lost track of what he was saying at one point and the tears about the kid were as unacceptable on Joe as they were on Papa Bush. It just shows he cannot control his emotions, and needs to retire. For some reason, Biden has a good personality, but that’s all I saw. It was easy for me to think Sarah lost when Biden sounded all harsh against McCain, but she came back kicking each time. The blue collar workers I see everyday, are definitely disappointed that she didn’t get her butt kicked. She held her own, and did not hurt McCain at all except that she didn’t have time for a rebuttal of all Biden’s rantings. McCain will fight back on his own.

"Yep, I bet Leno and Letterman have their usual “dumb Palin” jokes..."

Leno just did a joke saying that Biden and Palin had met with each other prior to the debate - then they showed a video of Biden sitting at a school desk helping a little girl color in her coloring book.

Just before that he had said Sarah had been prepping for the debate at McCain's ranch - the punchline was something like "looking out over the desert she could get a real feel for the Middle East."

Pardon me. You are correct. When I said 30 Kbps I should’ve been saying 30,000 Kbps, etc. The program displays the numbers as Kbps. Don’t know why. Ancient like me, I guess.

[FreePoster]

Where do you get that shot? You must have been watching a different channel than I did. Did they pan top to bottom or what?

[JustaCowgirl]

Is it that you can’t think, or do you only know how to read those talking points?

-—Dick Morris to Alan Colmes

Omigosh, how could I have possibly missed that. I’ve been waiting for someone to smack Colmes like that forever.

[valkyry1]

He should have run for senate against Obama, then we would not have this problem.
