Well, there’s no empirical way to measure it, so we’ll just have to disagree. As for “revealing” myself, ooooooh, scary. Why would I try to conceal what I think? What would be the point of that? In the end, the VP debate was a meaningless sideshow, so it’s beside the point. It’s the top of the ticket that matters. As the results of the election proved.

No we can't prove it, it is opinion, but we can show that before the talking heads got to work reflecting your biases, the consensus immediately after the debate did not fit your extremely negative view, in fact many thought she won.

Even democrat strategist Kirsten Powers and liberal pundit Mort Kondracki gave the debate to Sarah Palin. Kondracki said… “She connected with the average American while Joe Biden talked in Senate-speak”. Powers said… “Biden didn’t commit any major gaffe’s, but she (Palin) got the better of it.”

The Frank Luntz focus group comprised of independents half of whom voted for John Kerry in 2004, overwhelmingly said Palin won the debate. While a dozen or more said Palin changed their minds and they now support McCain, only one person in the group said he changed his mind in support of Obama.

After the economy went pearshaped in the last month, their was no way the Republicans had any chance of winning, whoever the candidates.
