And as for my opionion about the debate Palin/Biden debate.
I'm sorry but I can't help but me very surprised about many analysts' opinions that Palin bolstered McCain's campaign tonight and may have even won this debate. That surely wasn't my assessment (and I am predisposed to being anti-McCain/Palin at all; I am genuinely an independent and will probably vote for Obama but am not absolutely inflexible regarding that). What I saw tonight was very little substance or specificity from Palin. She was composed and her demeanor was likeable but she didn't bring any "mustard." I realize that just rolling off a copius amount of facts and statistics isn't a way to win a debate, either, and it may obscure the overall point you're trying to project on any given issue. Still, this isn't a stump speech or talking points- this is a vice presidential debate, for goodness sakes.

The MSM and TV celebrities have tried their best to make her look incompetent with their
edited interviews (thank you Witch Couric and Gibson) and by dredging up minuscule facts and by fabricating what they couldn't find, which impression she definitely dispelled tonight! She whipped Biden's butt, who was
wrong on 10 issues which he misrepresented tonight. And,
87% of the viewers of the debate tonight agree. Preeeettttyy D.a.m.n.e.d good for someone who has been "doing this for five weeks now" vs someone who has been doing it for 35 years.
And,FOX is the
most watched TV News in the country by Democrats
AND Republicans (75% ratings vs 25% for the rest of the media combined), so don't tell me those people's views are skewed to the conservative side unless you are trying to say that 87% of the voter viewers in this country who watch FOX are conservatives. If they are, liberals have a lot to worry about.

I'm sure the MSM (who definitely is skewed due to their small population (25%) of leftist viewers .......that's the reason they have lost so much viewership) will come up with their own polls showing the opposite. I'll take the poll taken by the news program watched by the most amount of people in this country.
Even the guy she beat in the race for governor of Alaska has been won over by her, saying he was wrong in thinking she couldn't be a good leader. He was even at her party in Alaska tonight. ( Fully expecting the low intelligentsia of the board to try to minimize by attacking the people of Alaska now.)
BTW, I spotted talking points on Biden's side as well to the point of misusing facts that the talking points do, as well as spokespersons for the B.O./Biden side, after the show, one who got totally flustered when she was asked point blank some questions to answer on her own after she spilled the talking points against Palin (obviosuly pre-programmed). She couldn't.
