Palin: Kicking Ass and Taking Names


"Say it ain't so, Joe!"

Many of us can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Palin proved herself to be the skilled debater we originally believed her to be. I've been nervously anticipating this night after watching the painful Gibson and Couric interviews, worried that the worst was yet to come.

But, she came out in full force, winning by a landslide on personality and she more than held her own on policy, foreign and domestic.

Biden did well, too, I must admit. I guess he powered his gaffe machine down for the evening, unless you count his numerous misstatements of facts. By the way, there's something funny with Biden's face. Has he had a face lift?

Overall, this debate was far more interesting than the first Presidential Debate. Both were on point and Palin has mastered talking to the people through the camera, and tearing her opponent apart with a sweet smile, all the while.

Where has this Sarah been? Were the aforementioned interviews just an example of a nervous newcomer, someone who hadn't yet hit the books or someone who hadn't yet had the campaign lines drilled into her head. Maybe she just ate her spinach this morning. Whatever the ultimate cause of this stellar performance from Palin, I will not look to closely, for I am just so thankful that we, not just made it through, but kicked some ass and took some names!
