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

Quoting Reagan...RMR is smiling down tonight...

I thought his middle name was Wilson.

WE WIN GRACIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kcvl]

still harbor a suspicion that she’s a die hard Dim. She went to the Univ. of Wisconsin in Madison .. one of THE most liberal institutions in America, and she is a Scientologist. She is very fair, however, in all her political discussions.

Greta's husband, John Coale (attorney) was a huge Hillary fundraiser but is now supporting McCain instead of Obama.

September 1, 2008

John Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer, husband of Fox TV host Greta Van Susteren and a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, announced today that he was supporting John McCain for president. Coale, who traveled with Sen. Clinton, President Clinton and her family through out the primary season, complained of sexism, and said the Democratic Party is “being taken over by the moveon.org types”

I thought it was interesting that her mic seemed to be very, very loud and live for quite a while before and after the debate. Like they were trying to catch her in something.

I wouldn't put it past them.

What a great night, they can spin ALL THEY WANT, Real Americans love Sarah just like Reagan and after tonight, there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.

[eyedigress]

Actually she was helpful to both candidates to answer her questions. She was very professional and dare I say non-partisan.

[machogirl]

I’m sure that did. That was the line the libs were running with. Foreign policy Biden owned.

[autumnraine]

Colmes must be sore, I just saw Dick Morris knock him down as well.

[Centurion2000]

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

-—Dick Morris to Alan Colmes

Ok, where can I find that sucker on youtube. WOW.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Her boss is a moderate liberal. And she's the #2. Given the constraints of being a Veep, she performed credibly tonight.

Yup, it's hard to swim the channel when you have a McChain around your neck.

Sarah Palin is in Dallas, TX tomorrow (Friday) for a fundraiser at the Fairmont.

The unwashed are promising a demo.....

[TexasGunRunner]

When biden put complete blame for the sub prime mess on Republican deregulation and Palin gave him a pass on it (as McCain did Friday) I turned the debate off.

...snip...

McCain has allowed the dems and msm to completely define him on the sub prime issue. obama will use this uncontested tactic to win this election. Stunningly bad move by McCain.

I listened to the whole show, and will watch it, but I was crestfallen when she failed to stuff that down his throat.

Seriously, I want to file a class-action lawsuit against McCain for breach of promise. Between failing to fight back on this blatant lie blaming Republicans for the sub-prime mess and suspending his lame campaign, he is clearly not serious about trying to win.

I want my donations back (only made after naming Sarah).

Do you think he even realizes his job is to defeat Obama?

Does he know that in order for him to win, Obama has to loose?

At this point, I want to ask him if he is going to vote for himself or for Obama?

[Right Wing Assault]

Here’s the deal...a housewife, hockey mom, with, according to them, no real experience, just did 90 minutes in the ring with a 35 year United States Senator and gave at least as good as she got.

Beautiful!

[machogirl]

Maybe the McCain group did some internal polling that showed the “wall street” angle worked?

[CurlyBill]

SARAH ROCKS!!!

[FlyVet]

Yeah, youse guys pulled out of a death spiral at the top end of the debate. It got real smooth at the end. What did you do, rent some extra servers right in the middle of it? Your webservants must have blisters on their fingertips, that couldn’t have been fun.

[onemiddleamerican]

I think it may be Michelle Obama.

[goldstategop]

The MSM wants you to think its all over. Life has a way of surprising people cocksure of themselves. I predicted back in September, the night Sarah spoke, that McCain had just won the election. I stand by that view. Of course, I could be completely wrong. However, I am humble enough to eat crow should that happen.
