It took her almost an hour to get there, but Sarah Palin finally reached the point when she, the hockey mom from Wasilla, was able to distinguish herself as vastly different from Joe Biden, the six-term U.S. senator from Delaware.
“Oh, yeah, it’s so obvious I’m a Washington outsider and someone just not used to the way you guys operate,” said Palin, following her opponent’s long-winded answer to Gwen Ifill’s question about whether or not the American public has the stomach to put U.S. troops on the ground in Darfur.
“Because here you voted for the war and now you oppose the war. You’re one who says — as so many politicians do — I was for it before I was against it or vice-versa.
“Americans are craving that straight talk and just want to know, hey, if you voted for it, tell us why you voted for it and it was a war resolution.”
That answer, more than any other during the 90-minute vice presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, set her apart from all other candidates in the race — both tickets included!

BA — You’re right about that!

I saw that Palin got more relaxed as she went along, although I never at any point detected outright nervousness.
Here’s to hoping that Palin’s skills tonight will give the McCain-Palin ticket a boost!

What debate were you watching? She repeated the same ole’ tired talking points and Joe destroyed her with the facts.
There is no way anyone can think she won.
Please.

Brian C — You need to get your rose-colored glasses cleaned or fix your television set, because — if you were watching the same debate — there’s no way Biden won. Instead, the truth won, and the truth was wearing lipstick!

84% of CNN poll said Palin did better than expected.

I love Palin! She has stopped the Republican hemorrhaging.

Brian C- Biden destroyed her with facts?!?
5 times his facts were blatantly wrong, and 4 times it was wrong but debatable.
