Palin won. The proof is

Palin won.

The proof is in the spin. The Obama camp is talking about how Palin didn't separate her and McCain from Bush enough. It's not about how Palin is an idiot, which is the meme they've been running on.

She won. The narrative has changed. We'll see how it affects the polls.

Hmm. Interesting analysis

Hmm. Interesting analysis style. "The narrative has changed."

Makes sense. They see she didn't fulfill their prediction, so they have to find something else she failed at.

Good. I like it.

Folksy Palin almsot made me throw up

The terrible pick of Palin was McCain's lack of judgement that he could still sell his message to the media.

As someone who grew up

As someone who grew up speaking with an accent not far off from Sarah Palin, I must thank you for attempting to speak my language.

Much like the south, we are used to idiots from either coast condescend to us and think we are hayseeds and hicks.  Funny, we have the highest education level in the country.... far above that which is seen in California, Massachussetts and New York.

Now, some new lessons for you.

You betcha = Sure, and I actually like you.

Sara has a northwestern accent.As she was born in Idaho and went to college here.That could also explain why Sara has common sense and speaks American and not political jiberish.

w99... Are you kidding,

w99...

Are you kidding, she gets her way of talking with the so-called accent from her Dad, have you listened to him much when he speaks...

there is no accent here in in the NW...come on, I am from Ca. originally, I have lived all over the NW including Ak. for quite awhile, many years...what accent is there in the NW?

There are no 'r's after an a 'A' like many I hear that live on the east coast talking...for example Cuber for Cuba...lol... 

...these people have absolutely zilch for room to talk...

Btw..she left Sandpoint, Id. before she was walking or talking...she was basically raised in Ak.

DB,

"Liberals believe that non-traditional figures should be leaders."  

I don't want to jump into you and Ster's little love-fest, but I can't seem to find a single liberal who thinks that Palin should be allowed anywhere near being a leader. That seems to be their main argument against her.

Would you care to clarify that, please?

He watched the debate with his pal William while playing their favorite board game "Blow up the Embassey"

1:22am Austin time...

I'm to riled up to goto sleep!!!

Gov. Palin sooooo wiped the floor with Biden.

I'm now watching post-debate spin by MSNBC and CNN...and they are spinnin' HARD!!!

CNN is laughable with their pundits sitting in front of their computers so they don't have to pay attention to the BS flying around. Anyway, I was impressed with Palin but I have to admit that Biden wasn't bad. Switched over to MSNBC to see Rachel Maddow railing against Sarah. There's no doubt Rachel would like private meetings with Palin. What surprised me was Pat Buchanan's take that Biden got his butt whipped.

CNN disgusting as usual

Man can they spin!  I mean really spin it.  All night, it's been how "dignified" and "statesman" like Biden was in comparison to to Palin's ineffectiveness.

Caio...RIGHT!!

OMG!!!

Were there too many PREMADDONA'S PRE SQUARE FOOT...OR IS IT ME?!?!?

Ster.

Sarah Palin for...

President!  She is wonderful!  She is a breath of fresh air!  She is a Super Star!  Sarah Palin, IMHO, gave the best debate performance since John F. Kennedy, even better than Ronald Reagan!  Check that.  Sarah Palin gave the best debate performance ever!  Even Mort Kondrake, who hates her because she is pro-life, had nice things to say about her.  Take that, Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews!  Jim Webster

Easy Jaw

I like Palin too but better than Reagan, I think that's a bit of a stretch

Neo...

I'm talking debate performance.  Her looks, her presentation, her likeability, her genuineness, all contributed to one helluva performance.  Reagan was good, but let's face it, he was in his prime when he was making movies.  JFK was in his prime (40s) and so was she.  Palin was best!  Jim Webster

Jim

I hear what you're saying but let's not let age be an issue in performance. I'm assuming that you're old enough to remember those Reagan/Carter debates when they happened. It's what first got me interested in politics. To me, there will never be a better politician than Ronnie

Webster & Neo

"She is a Super Star..."

Palin is, INDEED !!!

think about this.  What if Reagan started in politics sooner and debated when he was in his 40s rather than in his early 70s?  He would have blown everyone out of the water, no question...even Sarah.  Jim Webster

So glad we don't have to

So glad we don't have to hit preview now before posting. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

 

Obama's Economic plan: more taxes, more spending, more regulation. Prosperity here we come.

Yeah, noticed that

Already had to do a couple edits! I'll get used to it, and it is nice, but I think the incidence of typos is going to go up. 

Food for the trolls!   ;^)

 

"To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection." - H. Poincaré

Palin Won

The problem with McCain-Palin is they will have to beat the rabid MSM and BO-Biden. The MSM is heavily invested in seeing their candidate win and believe will do what ever it takes to make it so. I think we truly are seeing the death of objective "journalism".

This is going to be a struggle for Repubs with the economic problems, the MSM bias, and not much time left for BO or Biden to make a fatal error.

Chris Matthew's numbers

Could Newsbusters post the ratings once they are available?  I refuse to even tune to MSNBC and from the clips here I am astounded they would hold a "newscast" (and I use the term very loosely) with a completely biased audience of Obama hacks waving signs and banners and cheering/booing the ENTIRE show.  I'm convinced they must be tanking big  (please please PLEASE watch us).  Why on earth would any Republican/Conservative commentator, political campaign worker, politician, even bother with them any more?

When Biden was talking about

Bosnia he called the people of Bosnia "Bosniacks" and my son and I almost fell off our chairs laughing.

My son said, "Mom, did he mean to say Bosnians?"

 We really laughed.

Think of it...

BOSNIACKS

Obviously Biden is no BRAINIACK!

 

Delsa

Hey... did he really call them that ?? At tonight's debate?

I must have missed that... watching the rerun now. :)

Pretty amazing. It would be all over Leno and Letterman tomorrow if it was Palin.... sigh.

 

NOW PLAYING:

Yes he did Mr Shy.

Yes he did Mr Shy.

Hello MrShy

Yep he did say it and I replayed a little while ago just to make sure as I have not heard anyone mention it.

But Biden did say it.

Delsa

Wow, yeah, pretty amazing... he can gaffe all he wants, and the MSM will keep a lid on it. Sigh.

I'm sending out PM's, btw.... non-politics related, in the hopes of maybe cheering people up after today's bailout debacle (a little diversion :))

That's funny. He's just so

That's funny. He's just so SMART that Biden.

Presumably he calls the folks from Maine.. Mainiacs 

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

This is all

This is all hilarious...

Hey Jack I know two Senators from Maine that fit right into that Mainiac category...

What is really sad is the ridiculous stuff they are making up about Palin, the words they make fun of Pres. Bush about if he mangles them but never about something like this, this is just a list of them all, plus think of Barney Franks when he talks, or mumbling Ted Kennedy "OsamaObama" ring a bell...I heard some talking head yesterday on msnbc that hosts an hour show use the phrase Alaskan language...I about died laughing, he was serious...I could go on and on...it is always someone on the left who criticizes the right with their elite leftist propaganda for the death of whoever they are skewing.

Agenda being completed that is all they do...

Macaca ring a bell.

They were terrified of Allen running...he should of never folded like a knife from the behind the scenes pressure...never.

Jeez. If Palin had done

Jeez. If Palin had done that, it would be the headline today, nevermnd Letterman and Leno.

Shining city on the hill

Gov. Sarah Palin is my inspiration for young Republicans as myself. We are riduculed quite a lot. The liberals show their hatred for anyone that does not agree with them; I and my friends see this everyday at work. I'm sure that if you have read any of my posts you will know some of the story.

Gov. Palin, will fight for America, I am so happy she quoted Reagan "..Freedom is always just one generation away from extinction.."

We do not need big government. We need government on the side of the people again. We do not need the governement telling us who is burden on society with state run health care. We do not need the government ignoring us.

Let the people be free.

 

 

 

I switched over to MSNBC...

and watched Chris Matthews on a late night repeat of his show.  He was interviewing Howard Fineman and Roger Simon.  He couldn't get Simon to budge from saying Sarah did a very good job, no matter how hard he tried.  BTW, it has been a long time since I've seen Matthews.  The poor guy has really aged.  Jim Webster

Freedom is always just one generation away from extinction

I'm sorry, but given President elect Obama's ties to communism and corruption, we must be concerned. Yes, concerned that one of my friends an immigrant from the Ukraine is scared to death of. No she didn't live under communists as she can remember at a young age, but she remembers her parents did, and she thinks that Barack is very sinister, make up your own minds.

»→ Harriet Reid

Warren Buffet must be secretly fuming over Harriet Reid's suggestion that a large Insurance company is in serious financial trouble.

Well, Warren, we know it can't be Uncle MOO in trouble because you're busy diversifying your portfolio even further from the Insurance field with a big $5 billion injection into General Electric. 

Pay no attention to Marlin Perkins behind the curtain.  Looks like Jim is having a really tough time with that alligator.

Kill Bill II - Stop the bailout

CA

Consider the percentage that those companies dropped in stocks.That had to be millions of dollars.Reed is such a putz.

So your plane goes down in

So your plane goes down in the Andes, in a blizzard.  

You have a choice of being stranded with Palin or Biden, who do you choose  when your life depends on it.

And remember you can't even use Biden as a food source, what little meat there is, is way too stringy even for stew.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Jack... C'mon, this is

Jack...

C'mon, this is definately a "DUHHHH" moment.

Jack, this post of

Jack, this post of yours is funny...I have to tell you, it won't come out as funny as it happened when I post it, but after the debate was over last night, my husband immediately raised both arms in the air high as possible over his head and yelled Sarah...I love you!

I about died laughing until tears came down...he was too...

This morning he said, I just know she winked at me... when he came home from work, he said one of his work-mates said it wasn't him she was winking at, it was him, I tell you the msm doesn't get it...we do out here...and it is refreshing.

...too bad McCain had to screw up the ticket.
