Golly gee, hee haw, she showed up fer the big de-bate, and, yeah, she did herself proud -at least to the faithful Republican base, I suspect especially the neo-con wing.
Darn right, that might be the best we can say for her in last night's Vice Presidential debate between Gov. Palin and Sen. Biden. It seems that she must have pleased the handlers who had spent days carefully preparing her for this joust. She had undergone an intense week of attacks by the 'liberal eastern tv media' and we got to see clips rolled out by CBS of the interview between Katie and Sarah.
Last night Gov. Palin performed well, right down to the last wink. She quickly threw in the Joe-six pack, hockey mom, main street badges of merit and kept the slang style very small town hickish to show that she isn't from D.C. or even knows much about it. She made her talking points and actually showed skill in not answering the questions posed by an unusually mild and soft Gwen Ifil.
Today and for the weekend we'll hear and read the opinions and verdicts of news types about both Palin and Biden. Liberals will be well pleased with Biden and the conservatives will be happy about Palin. I don't think that either candidate stumbled and both accomplished what they set out to do.
When Tuesday comes around we'll be ready to see Obama and McCain face each other in the real contest for who will be our next President of the United States.
