I have to say something.... Gwen seems fair.

She certainly hasn't piled on Palin like she could have.  Maybe calling her out did the trick?

yea Sarah lanched a preemptive strike early in the debate
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

I agree - mostly fair, but I did notice that the question order gave Biden the last word on things that matter more to people. Im glad Sarah took the opportunity to put forth a rebuttal anyway.

And in doing so, stopped an excellent choice.  And you probably jerk off at night knowing that you got the likes of Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Souter on the court, dontcha Joe?

That does it. I'm voting for the disabled vet and the hockey mom, rather than the commie dirtbag lawyers.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Strong closing statement there, quoting Reagan again. 

Biden "last eight years" again.  Hey Joe, Bush is not running again.
"To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny."

Oh God, Joe is going for the pity angle.  :whatever:

For a second there I thought he was going to claim his wife was killed by a drunk driver.

I still don't see why he gets away with shit like that.

or his chopper being attacked by snow flurries in the Middle East..

Palin went Reagan! She spoke above the media and too the American people. I hoped I saw this early but I did have doubts. (shame on me) Free her McCain! send her out to everyone everywhere to speak.

She speaks for me!

To those who would say that we need leaders "smarter than ourselves", I say, It is a universal tenet of Democracy that no one is!

(I stole much of that last line from P,J. O'rourke.  :-) )

Shade, I will agree that Ifill (sp?)  did indeed seem neutral .. way across the country in the other Washington, we got an earful about her book deal coming out next month. So I can imagine the deafening roar in Missouri today towards her..
