Sarah Palin does NOT have the poise to be VP. She also needs elocution lessons. It's NEW-KLEE-ER!!!

Our President for the past 8 years has pronounced it just like she does, so <shrug> obviously that doesn't matter to Americans.

and I forgot...at the end she said:

I like being able to answer these tough questions without the filter, even, of the mainstream media kind of telling viewers what they've just heard. I'd rather be able to just speak to the American people like we just did.



UUummmmm

1. Whose campaign had her hiding out from the media for 3 weeks?

2. Who flubbed everytime she spoke and misspoke?


The MSM is gonna have a field day with this....

Forget the juggling 5 kids and the campaign - if she can juggle the campaign AND plan a wedding as MOB - THAT is impressive.

Didn't really think it took that long to plan a shotgun wedding.

Actually they're supposedly thinking next summer according to the baby daddy's mom. Wonder if she's hoping for a white house wedding

At least one previously undecided in CNN's Ohio panel said the debate convinced her to commit to Obama, while another said it convinced her to vote for McCain. FWIW.

LOL. My wife and I did the same thing.

She accomplished her goal, which was not to repeat the disasters that were her interviews. Anything beyond that was a win for her, even if most watchers (per the polls, at least) thought that Biden did a better job than she did and that Biden presented a better case than she did.

See, I didn't think Biden did all THAT well in the debate. I might have had too high an expectation for him, in that he's done this many times before. I thought he was much better during the second half of the debate (especially since they were talking about foreign policy, right in his wheelhouse), but I wasn't sure he did that much to advance the ticket.

If anything, I'd say that he did his best service to his campaign by not flying off the handle, so to speak, and by being fairly measured in his responses. It wasn't a bad performance, by any means, but I don't think it was his best performance.

One point, and this may just be the law nerd in me - if I were him, I wouldn't mention the Bork thing all that often. I think that the Bork nomination fight is a sore spot for Republicans, and that if he and Obama were to win, there could be some residual issues with their first Court nominee (especially if it's someone remotely controversial like Dean Koh, as opposed to a safer pick like Dean Kagan or Judge Sotomayor).
