Well Palin spoke from the heart.Biden lied out of his skin…just like Hussein Obama.Are all you democrats blind to O and B’s positions.Geez can’t you see the light?

If by “heart” you mean “note card”, then yes, she spoke from the heart. But not hers. She’s the Palin puppet.

Biden simply could not have done any better at this debate. Palin did about as well as she was capable of, but that just isn’t saying much. Biden was the clear winner, and he nailed her on every false thing she said. What an idiot she was to criticize Obama’s voting record in cases where McCain voted the same way. Is she that coached on the talking points that she doesn’t even bother to look at their voting records in order to make an informed statement? She didn’t do as poorly as I had expected, but nonetheless, she is unqualified, and the thought of having her in charge of the country is simply terrifying. I am glad that many conservatives are stepping up for the good of the country and saying that she has no business as VP. Thank you.

Palin spoke from the heart? God, I would have loved evidence of just a little brain.

with the standards set so miserably low, Palin did what she was coached to do…What galls me the most is that McCain had so many QUALFIED GOP women to pick from for a running mate. If this is “Country First” then why pick someone who only appeals to the religious right with regards to anti abortion? Is this good for the country?…to have someone who is totally unqualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency??? I think it is “do whatever you need to to appeal to a certain base”. It has nothing to do with putting Country first. would I let my 12 year old drive my car? not a chance! would I let a “hockey Mom with lipstick” run the coutry”? not on your life.

come on people! Wake up and smell the coffee? (I’m suprised Palin didn’t use that line!)

Listen, Sarah Palin said it best with this slip of the tongue, “John McCain is the man we need to leave.” She means, lead. Ooops. Adorable.

Neither one ‘won’ so I’m sticking with McCain/Palin.
If McCain had sit in a church like Wrights for 20+ years, associated with people like Ayres and called the American people a bunch of bitter folks that cling to their guns and religion, he would be destroyed. But lets all give Obama a pass and drink some more kool-aid.

It’s time to get the government out of the people’s business and let the free market work the way it is supposed to do. Reduce taxes and reduce spending as was done in the Reagan years and watch our economy grow at exponential rates. End the restrictions on energy exploration within our borders and watch the world turn green with envy at our economic independence. Eliminate the economic killing preferences to give loans to persons unable to qualify according to time tested and proven criteria, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae would become unecessary and extinct, and we wouldn’t have these bank failures. Sarah nailed it. Biden speaks the same old same old that got us into trouble since the Carter loans and Iran appeasement and Clinton ignore the middle east years. It IS time for change. Throw the bums out! Put some real leadership in, proven leadership - the ONLY proven leadership is McCain and Palin. Barrack is an empty suit, unproven and untested, and if he lives up to what he says, will destroy freedom of speech, the right to own and bear arms, and the right to life, and Biden long ago proved himself a tax and spend liberal.

If all you have are “zingers” and little thought behind them, then you must be Henny Youngman (”Take my wife, please”).

Too much of McCain’s effort in the first debate was spent on sarcasm. Palin’s tendency toward “one-liners”, while popular in high school, wears thin after a while.

While these “zingers” play well for the already committed, they add nothing to a debate.

I was interested that Palin stated that Biden was doing “too much finger-pointing backward.” I guess that means that the study of history is of no consequence to her. Of course, without an understanding of history, we have no ability to correct our past mistakes. Which I think means that we’d essentially get 4 more years of Bush if McCain and Palin are elected. Her quips were silly and detracted from what should have been a serious debate. The winking was high-school and hardly appropriate in a future national leader.
