Go ahead. You know you want to talk about it.
I thought she did just fine, and it makes me feel a bit better about her after those horrible interviews. Now what I’d like to see is more of that Sarah Palin and less of the one who gives nothing but bullshit answers to the media. Sorry, Sarah, but you don’t get a bye for using the “Bad ol’ MSM!” routine in the debate tonight.
Like Kathleen Parker, I was seriously wondering if Palin wasn’t a really bad choice after all. Unlike Parker, I didn’t write a column about it.
I thought it was a solid debate, period. Palin was solid. Biden was as expected.
Kathleen Parker makes her living as somoene who ‘enlivens’ the landscape of the admittedly screwball journo print media crapheads. She seldom makes any sense, nor do any of her fellows. They get large salaries on the foundation of their really large alien prejudices. Why should anyone pay any attention to any of this. G]
I don’t think that it changed opinions. If anything I thought that it reinforced many.
She refused to answer questions and wouldn’t stray outside of her comfort zone. I watched her and was not impressed.
I very much wanted to see how she’d respond if challenged, but it didn’t happen.
FWIW, Frank Luntz thinks that it will help McCain.
I agree it was a solid debate. Both of them did what they had to do. While Biden sounded like he knew what he was talking about, when you look back he was just blowing hot air especially on Lebanon and Israel. It probably wont change anyone’s mind, but it will re-enforce people’s opinions.
I would never trust Frank Luntz focus groups. He is notorious for manipulating the results.

Jeff, I guess there was a reason for my skepticism.
More objective fact checking with sources, not just blanket statements
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/factchecking_biden-palin_debate.html
and soccer dad, I caught your skepticism, just backing it up.
P.S. Every politician lies and/or makes questionable statements with multiple interpretations.
If you “fact check” Factcheck.org, you’ll see six Palen “lies” compared to only two Biden “mis-statements.”
So much for the non-biased Annenburg Project…

Nowhere does factcheck.org use the word “lie” in their synopsis and it was actually 4-2. The first debate they characterized as 6-5 with Obama having more mischaracterizations or false claims (the words they use for all four candidates).
Also, which claims were biased or incorrect by factcheck.org. They cite sources. I’d trust their claims before unobjective sources like those copied above with no sources whether they were conservative or liberal.
Factcheck does debunk some of Sabba Hillel’s claims with cited sources. Are those sources wrong?
