He ran circles around her!

But then, we kinda expected that. Biden repeatedly tied McCain to Dubnutz, while all Sarah could do is evade answering the questions and reciting her memorized lines. Which usually included "by heck" and "main street". In fairness, it has to be said she exceeded expectati0ns. She improved on her cretinous performance in the Katie Couric interview. But Biden was suave, intelligent, well-versed, and obviously the class of the two. BTW, I got to watch this because my racquetball partner, on point #3 of the first game, smashed his head forcibly into the front wall. Which would've been okay, EXCEPT he was wearing safety goggles. The frames of the goggles tore a gash into his scalp, which bled profusely and probably needs stitches. So the racquetball session was over by 5:30.

Not to mention all the "darn right"s and "maverick" and the winking. What did they tell her in that debate camp? Go out and act like a hick to impress your hick base?

The bar was set pretty low on this one - I don't see how she could have done worse than the Couric interview - but I still think she did pretty bad tonight. Our guests started counting cliches. Six in one sentence at one point. Six. Amazing. And then there was the freudian slip - the American public wants John McCain to leave...priceless! We were laughing the whole time.

This was the first time i've ever seen Joe Biden speak, and he really does well! I was impressed.

it is scary to think of her as Vice President. the only scarier thing is to imagine her in the White House.
