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

[eyedigress]

It was discussed during the debate and Governor Palin said the pundits will take care of that. She won and tomorrow she wins again.

[Brad’s Gramma]

It’s Tuesday nite, isn’t it? I think I’ll take al baby shootin’ because 0’Hussein creeps me out...

Yo al! Wanna go to the range Tuesday?

[cleveland gop]

I don’t think you will end up eating crow at all. This thing is still McCainLs to lose and try as they may, the MSM won’stop trying to make sure Obama win the election.

The enconomic situation is in their eyes the coup d’ete that will put Obama over the top.

Time to make sure we’re all on the same page and to make sure McCain/Palin is our next leaders, PERIOD!

[mplsconservative]

Palin was genuine, she was strong and she connected with people. This debate was no time to come out as a ballbuster.

I don’t understand how some people can be undecided at this point in time, but tonight was the night to appeal to them and Sarah was fabulous.

[Jenny217]

go here and make your suggestion. It’s a good one.

In your dreams, pally... You had better look up some of my posts before you toss that grenade. I’ll run circles around you any day of the week. Funny that we have boneheads here that believe every newcomer is a “TROLLLLLLLLLL” ... So then, sparky, I suppose you have been around since Adam, eh? No, wait, let me guess... You gave JR the idea for FR!

[eyedigress]

Yea, he can sit down now.

[adversarial]

I think it was a crack in the facade,
on the outside he was grinning like an idiot,
but on the inside he was reeling from the beating he was taking and holding back the tears.

[Swordfished]

So who ya gonna vote for hot shot ?

Realistically I might as well stay home, but I might write in George Washington for grins.

What I find most entertaining is that so many take this election so seriously.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not running for anything. I’m one of the little people with no power, just trying to make his way in the world. Honestly, if you think McCain/Palin is a great ticket, more power to you, just don’t blame me when they get slaughtered in the election.

Tow Ladies won tonight, poor ol’ Joe was jsut an also there. Gwen Ifill showed that she is of a rare breed, a neutral professional journalist when the nation needs objectivity. Yeah, I know, she’s not a conservative, she’s a confirmed liberal, but by golly she was neutral and did a great job tonight! Frankly, I’m gonna put in an order for her book! My great grandkids will find it an interesting read from a black Lady who lived in interesting times.

Do I ever remember Geraldine. She was the classic angry feminazi b****, and she couldn't hide it. She was even worse at hiding it than Hillary. Men aren't going to vote for their ex-wife or ex-mother-in-law, except for the codependent types.

Palin is the Girl you Want to Marry, or the Mother-in-Law You'd Like to Have. (As long as you're not bad to her daughter, that is; then she might be the M-I-L from H).

[scott says]

It will be on YouTube soon enough.
I really loved it! I am so sick and tired of the liberal MSM-
( Morons Spouting Misinformation) of the Colmes kool-aid swilling variety
Just total BS and lies. Are they total propagandists or really just totally stupid, ignorant fools?
Its really out of control this year—
The media is CLEARLY a wing of the DNC. There is virtually ZERO honesty or integrity—just cheerleading and spin for their candidate.

[Hattie]

Krauthammer said Joe kinda overdid all those strong rebuttals to Sarah. He would just spew statistics and go on and on and Sarah just smiled. LOL

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

I missed the debate,but when I heard of the Reagan quote, I got a lump in my throat.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I’m taking it REAL seriously as I don’t want the muslim taking our guns away!

[Right Wing Assault]

And besides that, she did a great job of schmoozing that camera. Not too much, just enough. It's too bad that matters, but it does.

I liked her looking me right in the eye. Poor old Johnny just stared at ugly old Jim Lehrer and never even peeked at the audience. I didn't like that. Talk to me man!

[myprecious]

Now Joe Biden has to go home and explain to all his friends how he got his butt kicked by a girl.

By a girl wearing glasses, a dress, and great looking high heeled pumps

and she made him cry

And with his tear ducts pulled back that far with that lastest lift, that was quite a task.

[grey_whiskers]

You missed a lot, then.

Catch it on YouTube, you'll be glad you did.

Cheers!

Hi, Meeky :)

I thought Sarah did very well! She refused to have her answers dictated to her by either Biden or Ifill. She held her own against a lifetime politician and WON :)
