Should I believe you and the four other sign-ups from 2005 or everyone else? Hmmm, tough...

The point is that a newb should be the last person making snide remarks about sign up dates. Unless you really aren't a newb.

Excellent job, Gov. Palin.

I watched it streaming on MSNBC (only place I could get it). Before it started, I had to watch a 30 second commercial for Obama. Then all through the debate there was an ad at the bottom of the screen urging me to vote for Obama.

No bias, eh.

Yes, I’m sure that the Democrat campaign paid for it. Regardless, I find it highly biased.

Palin, you done good. We love you!

Sorry about the slowdown half way through the debate. We were cranking along under three times our normal load when suddenly one of the old servers smoked. Then all of our servers overloaded. Took John a few minutes to bust up the logjam. One server is still down, but the system is running.

Ok, earlier I said she wasn't doing well. She's tearing Obama and Biden a new butthole tonight.

She's acting like McCain ... slow start, killing them after she got warmed up.

I’m watching Foxnews, I’d like to see what MSNBC has to say about this opposed to FOXNEWS.

PMSNBC obviously thinks Palin won because they just said any bump from this debate won't last more than 24 hours and will soon be forgotten. If they thought Biden had won, they'd be talking about what a great job he did and how much it would help the looney left ticket.

Two sound bites

Palin “Not going to answer the way you want to hear”

Biden “McCain has been dead wrong, Barack Obama has been right”

That ‘encapsulates it’.

Palin regular common regular person. Connecting with people.

Joe had one message, attack McCain. Did it 50 to 100 times. Ignored Palin.

Palin passed the ‘Tina Fey’ test. No ‘deer in the headlights’.

Couric - quite civil. Smiled a lot.

“Civility is not a sign of weakness” Both candidates were congenial.

Spin alley coming up.

Sarah did very-very well. She was very alive. And I believe she was very sincere.
