V-P debate reaction

Tomorrow, if you tune into any conservative talk show, the right will be overly ecstatic with Sarah (looking down at my 3x5 notecards) Palin for not committing any major flubs.

But...(looking down at my 3x5 notecards) Palin didn't answer many questions. By 9:08, Palin got in her patented "reformer" and "maverick" references.

Near the end of the debate, thankfully, Joe Biden hammered Palin on the "maverick" perception of John McCain.

(looking down at my 3x5 notecards) When you think about it, did she give a straight answer about climate change, rights for same sex couples, Pakistan/Iran, and differences between her and McCain????

And (looking down at my 3x5 notecards) how can Palin blast Obama/Biden for wanting to use diplomacy with foreign countries when she herself said that diplomacy is important???????

One very strong point by Biden that should be talked about is his crediting single parents in his background. I take issue with Governor Palin saying that she has the "average American family." Really? Five kids. One is pregnant at the of 17. Dad works on an oil rig and is a world champion snow mobiler. Mom is a politician. Son off to Iraq. Did you hear Palin mention any of the personal heartbreak in her family background that Biden alluded to? Biden referenced job struggles in his family. Can Palin relate to that?

Oh, and finally, (looking down at my 3x5 notecards), Sarah, stop looking at your notecards.
