Holds her own my big blue eyes. She mopped the floor with Biden.

On the other hand, Green said, "If anybody had any questions about Joe Biden's understanding of the issues and problems facing America, they won't anymore."
Gee, after 36 yrs. in Washington one would surely hope so.

I have a hunch that McCain told Palin: I have your back. Go out there and do your thing.

My first thought also. Hallett is a Cleveland dem hack. This praise means Gov. Palin was levels above what he admitted.

I would give her an A-. Her best line (paraphrasing) was, "I'm not going to give answers that the moderator or opponent may like; I'm speaking to the American people."

She was prepared, and somewhat relaxed. The perception was that she did very well for a raw rookie. That's all that matters.

Isn't that what all politicians do?

Isn't that a prerequisite for the Sunday talk shows?

But somehow, it's going to be a fault when Palin does it.

a Cleveland dem hack.

The Dispatch has imported so many of these in recent years, I sometimes wonder where I live.

The Dispatch used to be conservative. Now it's a gun-grabbing, gay-loving rag.

But Biden showed a superior command of the facts

It's one thing to sound factual, it another to be factual.

Biden makes a lot up, but the reporters don't know the difference. Or don't care!

...Democrat Joe Biden, a six-term senator from Delaware and a seasoned debater.
You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to debate with cryin eyes

Biden’s facelift just makes him look creepy.

I sure wish the Wolfes still controlled the Dispatch. it was a lot better read back in the day.
