After all the hoopla, who do you think won the debate?
Did you take a drink everytime Sen. Biden said the word "fact"?
Did you take a drink everytime Gov. Palin said the word "maverick" or winked?
Do you think it will matter in the end?

America Maverick Palin? I hear that's what Bristol is going to name that bun in her oven.

I was disappointed with both.
I kept expecting Biden to finish her off with, "it's the economy, stupid"...but instead (and maybe this was Gwen's fault) he kept returning to foreign policy.
On the other hand, if Palin showed up and spoke in intelligible grunts and gestures it would have exceeded public expectations...so part of me believed she would overcompensate with an intellectualized diatribe: all her winks and doggoneits brought me back.

Unless the left starts to approach the subject that gets the midwest to vote it may be four more years.
The All Kids health insurance program includes coverage for a pregnant woman and her child, but to make sure this information cannot be used to state the lefts approach to eliminating abortion, it states that one does not have to be a US citizen.
The RU-486 pill that will end an a life is not the same as emergency contraception, however even Planned Parenthood can't be bothered to read right wing websites and point this difference out on theirs. Instead they insist that a minor has the same rights as an adult, a separate issue. I wonder if someone who had to sell their home to pay for a delivery sued them because the 15 year old said the only reason she started having sex was because they gave her a perscription, maybe they would understand accountibility.
When is the left going to approach this subject, at a time of Ms. Palin's choosing, during the next debate?

Biden obviously won the debate. Palin couldn't even answer the questions asked... relying solely on memorized talking points.
I think the SNL skit pretty much nailed it.
