Okay, folks. Let's keep an eye on this debate and see if Sarah can beat down hairplug.

[moose2004]

I’m sure at 9:00PM I won’t be able to watch baseball knowing the debate’s on, I’ll watch it. Go Sarah!

I don’t think she will. As her dad says, she is strong.

She has to be to have put up with everything she has already gonge through from the left.

That said...the drive-by gang will paint her the loser unless she knocks Biden’s hair plugs loose.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Well, you know we are going to hear about him taking that train home every night......snooze.

What is going on in your state as far as McCain commercials and mailers?

It's been non-stop Obama commercials and mailers here in Missouri. Where's McCain?

Why isn't there alot of rallies with McCain and Palin?

[trisham]

I’m here. I’m watching. I’m praying. *sigh*

*******************

Me, too.

She knowingly withheld this info from the Commission because she was obviously determined to be chosen. One would hope that her credibility has been severely damaged. She was given a pass this time, but it will be interesting to see if she’s ever allowed to moderate any future debates.

This is our big night
You are right. I was so nervous when Palin spoke at RNC. Palin rocked. I hope to celebrate and drink a lot tonight.

[LucyJo]

gonge = gone

Where the heck did that “g” come from, fingers?

[retrokitten]

Slap some sense into me! I’m nervous. :-(

I have Oreos and pinwheel cookies at home to comfort me. ;-)

That 60 pounds I lost is going to be 40 by the time the election comes. LOL

Has Gwen Illin’ told the viewing audience that she has a vested interest in seeing Obama get sworn in on January 20th, 2009?

Full disclosure would insist on her making such a statement to the audience gathered in the theater and at home.

[mass55th]

"Take a drink every time he goes off on a long-winded tangent about his family or something else completely off topic."

I figure he'll start out by telling Ifill how sorry he was to hear about her accident, and wishes her a speedy recovery.

Palin should try to connect as much as possible with the middle class - she has a profoundly American story to this day. She can connect with voters on taxes, energy, health care, etc.

Given what she’s been through and with little to lose, she needs to be herself, tear into Obama, and not be heavily scripted by the McCain people. God willing.

[Azzurri]

Biden’s strength is that he’s a blowhard who can wax eloquently on any given subject and give impression that he’s knowledgeable. Those of us on the right who can cut thru the BS recognize that he’s just the loud-mouthed uncle or the guy at the bar who boisters over everyone, but to the mushy middle of the electorate they think...wow, this guy must know his stuff.

*****************

LOL! I was just thinking the same thing! He's like the embarrassing uncle who makes a fool of himself every holiday by having too much to drink and slobbering all over everyone.

Howdy

You know if John Kerry had gotten his wish, this time 4 years ago John McCain would have been getting ready to debate Dick Cheney, now he's Bush's clone. If you're going to be a Democrat you must have a very FLEXIBLE mind.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Let’s just turn that nervousness into excitement. Diets be *amned!! Chocolate is a must for tonight. Go Sarah Go. :)

For Later
