I’m very disappointed in Gov. Palin.
I think she may have peaked on her introduction.
She seems nervous and unsure of herself.
I think Biden is beating her handily by being much more aggressive.
Cheney would eat Biden for lunch.
Even her accent is starting to grate on me.
I’m losing faith in her. They are allowing the dems to frame the “bailout” fallout as being caused by a lack of regulation, which of course McCain supported.
Things are going downhill fast.
Ifill is clearly framing this entire debate to support Obama.
You have political shell shock. GET OFF THIS FRONT LINE! Stop the doom and gloom!
Sheesh — on the Iraq question, Plugs is smoothly presenting details and Palin is just blathering and stalling. Not good.
You seem rational, yet your post bears no connection to reality.
Nothing on the CRA, nothing on the implied guarantee, but everything on”greed.” On the bailout, McCain/Palin are no different than Obama.
You.

Step away.

I agree. Outside of FR, I doubt anyone will be saying that she is winning this debate. Her voice is still shaking.
We’ve got to continue fighting to keep Obama out of the White House, though.
Certainly she’s had weaknesses all her own, but the global warming and bailout crap is all McCain.
The attacks are very weak. Very, very weak. This was the debate to hammer all the democrat crap. If she doesn’t find a way to drag Rev Wright, Ayers, Rezko, et al into this, it will have been a complete waste.
As far as Ifill, that is no surprise, and that would be the environment with any moderator. Still, she probably should have found a way to mention Ifill’s conflict of interest in a humorous way.

Palin really blew it on Biden’s deregulation bit. She should have pointed out that (1) 90 senators, INCLUDING JOE BIDEN, voted for Gramm’s deregulation measure; and (2) most experts agree that that law had little if anything to do with the current credit crisis, and that it in fact might have prevented it from being worse.
Too bad that you missed it.
