Decisions, decisions...
"John McCain rolled the dice on Sarah Palin. I’m grateful to Bob Rice of Tangent Capital for pointing out that the actuarial risk, based on mortality tables, of Palin becoming president if the Republican ticket wins the election is about 1 in 6 or 7.
That’s the same odds as your birthday falling on a Wednesday, or being delayed on two consecutive flights into Newark airport. Is America ready for that?"

So where are all the comments about the debate?
IMO, Palin was not as bad as expected (except for that bizarre winking), but Biden was better.
Now I am just praying for Barack Obama's physical safety until election day and after.

kingston--you and I share a basic outlook on the debate. I got all stoned and was waiting for the hilarious gaffe that never came. However, the fact that she didn't trip over doesn't mean she was an overly successful representative for McAncient. She still looked like a PTA President play-acting on the world stage while Biden looked in control and plausible as a guy with the controls.

I found it very difficult to follow her spoken thoughts....her memorized paragraphs....as she communicated them, sounded like a crazy cut/paste job.
Her nickname should be non-sequitur.

Yeah, she never actually answered any of the questions put to her.

I think she might actually be the What.

one of the papers called her answers an inch thin and a mile wide. I found her abnormally perky and chipper (not my favorite characteristics in anyone- disclaimer) but when all she did was smile and repeat rote answers after Bidens obvious passion and grief over what he saw in Darfur, and then no reaction at all to Biden's family loss, well, how scary can you get?
