The one and only vice presidential debate for 2008 is over. I didn't need time to parse any of it. Biden was clearly superior in his grasp of policy and articulate in outlining the Obama / Biden ticket.
Palin on the other hand... well... it was the aural and visual equivalent of cotton candy. Much too sweet and no substance.
And that's all I have to say about that.

I just have to share this comment I found under the Star Tribune article about the debate. It's the perfect summary of Palin's answers:
"Gosh Darnit"...They will raise your taxes. I don't know a "heck of alot". "Goll Darnit"...we're going to change Washington. "Darn Right" buster...I took on the oil companies. "No, you know" I think marriage is between a man and a woman. "You betcha" I'm a maverick. "East Coast Politician" unlike me from small-town Alaska. "Heck" is a folksy way of saying hell. "And I don't want to argue about the causes." because we'll cure whatever ailes us without knowing the root causes. "I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear" but I will talk folksy to Joe Six pack. "I want to go back to the energy plan." because I don't want to answer the question presented. "I think that this is important to come back to, with that energy policy plan again" because I don't want to answer that question. "Say it ain't so, Joe, there you go again"...look I remembered what Reagan said. "Now doggone it"...I'll be as folksy as I want to be.
LOL! Who knew Sarah Palin wouold take the time to post a comment on the Strib site!
It was one of those rare moments when McCain let her off the leash.
Have you seen the SNL spoofs? Oh. My. God. They're the best.
It seemed that all I kept hearing from her was that she was a maverick. Maverick, maverick, maverick. I did good though. I was able to hold back my bile until the debate was over. She makes me physically ill.
I think they want to make us ill. Then we'll become dehydrated (there isn't enough of the McCain/Palin kool-aid to go around). Then we'll become disoriented and open to suggestion. That's when they'll strike... getting us at our weakest, and we won't make it to the polls!
Maverick Hockey Mom... it's all a conspiracy.
