Palin Recaptures Her Image

New York Times ^ | 10/03/08 | Alessandra Stanley

She twinkled, cocked her head, and spoke as plainly as she could. “Darn right it was predator lenders,” she told the moderator, Gwen Ifill of PBS, when asked who was to blame for the mortgage meltdown. Her sentences had lots of pep and patriotism, and few g’s at the end of her words — “You betcha” and “Get down to gettin’ business done” and “doggone it.”

Expectations for both candidates were low, but the expectations for the debate were almost absurdly high — cable news commentators led up to the event like children on a Halloween sugar bender, deliriously excited by what The Washington Times described as a “Thrilla in Manila” showdown

Obama is to the left of Hillary.

I know it’s hard to believe.

Did you hear the moderator say to Biden after the debate:
“You did good.”? No bias there.

Sarah beat both of them. :)

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

If you havent noticed, the McCain ticket has been stripping away some of those Clinton voters so you have to be careful.

Good point. Bill has been doing good work for McCain/Palin lately.

" After the debate, I went over to the Hillary Clinton forum to gauge their reaction."

I went there last night too! It is interesting to see how they react. And indeed, as you say, they were ecstatic!

[gbunch]

Obama is to the left of Hillary.

I know it’s hard to believe.

Actually, I like most FReepers have long understood that BHO is far left of Hitlery. What's interesting (and good for us!) is that the HRC supporters see it too, and won't vote for him!

Biden’s make up job was extremely distracting. WHAT did they do to that man’s eyes? He looked positively asian - but in an old Charlie Chan movie sort of way.

Guess what Donna said, "It was the performance of his life!"

Might have been. In which case I'm even more impressed with Palin's ability to whoop his butt.

[Aquinasfan]

New York Times begrudgingly admitting that Sarah won, and the best part is that last night's debate exposes the medis's bias, in that in an unfiltered enviroment, Gov. Palin shines.

Yup. But now I have to take a shower, because I just read the Times.

[queenkathy]

Did they have ANY republicans? Or did they ONLY interview old Clinton cronies?

How to Field Dress a Moose
A Brief Step-By-Step Summary Of The Process:
1. Clear Your Working Area ("May I call you Joe")
2. Bleed The Animal ("must correct you again, Sen. Biden")
3. Preparatory Skin Cuts, Throat to Anus ("That's really not right Joe")
4. Break the Breastbone ("YOU YOURSELF said Barak not ready to be commander in chief!")
5. Sever the Wind Pipe, Gullet from the Head ("...say it ain't so Joe.."
6. Open the Abdomen to the Anus ("..your PLAN WOULD MEAN THE WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER!")
7. Split the Pelvic Bone ("Barak VOTED AGAINST funding troops.")
8. Cut the Diaphragm from the Cavity Wall the Anus and Bladder. ("No, Joe, it wouldn't be a tax cut for 95 percent")
9. Roll Out The Abdominal Organs with Anus Attached ("You voted for war that you're now against")
10. Remove the Neck and Chest Cavity Organs ("You said that you'd be proud to run with John McCain yourself!")
11. Clean the Body Cavity ("Your plans represent nothing but massive spending")
12. Prepare the Carcass for Cooling or Quartering. ("I'm certain that John McCain will address those massive spending plans in the next debate")

Sarah inspires, made me feel good about this country again.
I loved the way she looked into the camera.
Her ability to communicate will allow her to go directly to the people and get things done.

[Logical me]

She done it. Sure looks great and we couldn’t get a better VP. Go girl.

[queenkathy]

I tried for the whole 90 mins to get on the live thread but couldn’t.

I was SO disappointed. Hope FR won’t be like that on election night.

[TheZMan]

That would be pointing out past mistakes, something she tried her best to avoid during the debate and slapped Biden for when he kept referring back to Bush’s admin.

[BooksForTheRight.com]

The anti-Palin bitterness had subsided in the days before the debate. Now that Palin has proven herself while facing an old establishment liberal bastard, Palin will once again be the subject of vicious bitter attacks.
They couldn’t prove that Palin was stupid, so they will not find someone who is willing to lie big to destroy her.
The left is despicable.

Your Post #30...ROFL! Right on!

[avacado]

Sarah represents the America I know and love!

[new cruelty]

I heard it, too. Then I heard nbc anchorman brian williams quickly point out that biden asked ifel how she was feeling because she hadn’t not been well and her response was “I feel good”.

[avacado]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent!

[Snapping Turtle]

Thank you for posting the Hillary fans’ website. Fascinating!
