“Only to a conservative who reads conservative websites.”

Actually, StC, this is an example of how people see things through different lenses.

First, I see being a conservative and reading conservative websites as a positive thing. It never occurred to me that someone would see that negatively.

Second, I see people who are influenced by the LSM's view as being the very same people who do not read conservative websites.

Third, there are more of them than there are of us. A lot more. That is why so many Americans went away from that Palin/Biden debate period with the notion that Biden had won. He was slick, the LSM protected him, they misreported the event, AND they believed that Biden had won.

So, while you might wish that America saw things as you saw them at that time, the results of the election itself and the analysis and reviews of that debate all say that what we wish doesn't always come true.

You have patronizingly assumed that I judge Palin to have won her debate only because I am “a conservative who reads conservative websites.”

You are arrogant and wrong about what I read. I read tons of LSM websites and I watch tons of MSNBC and CNN not only whenever Fox goes to commercial but because I am a political junkie. My seasoned judgment is that, on the merits, Sarah won her debate. You said she didn't win because the LSM said she didn't, which, frankly is not my recollection or relevant, IMO.
