Not to be presumptuous but tell your hubby "Welcome Aboard"!

Actually wouldn't "Welcome to the Flock" be more appropriate?

hardly. My husband ain't a sheep.

Oh well, he can now take communion at the Church of the Latter Day Messiah

This character just can't help it. I try not to take him too seriously.

She can't pronounce NUCLEAR either....#######? It is not that hard of a word.

-P

I think it's a Republican syndrome.

Now, that nucular thing bothers me everytime she says that

I heard tonight the inside-the-beltway denizen talking to a Main Street American.

Of course the pundits are going nuts because Palin did not make any gaffes they were looking forward to.

I see in her how a middle class American processes information and how they would respond.

Those of us used to Sunday morning talk shows will see her style quaint but she reminds me of Harry Truman.

Give her 6 months and you will be surprised what she can be.

Clearly, Sarah Palin won in style. She can strike ordinary Americans as a breath of fresh air different from all the elite discourse.

We'll see what the polls say in the coming days but I suspect McCain poll numbers may stabilize and perhaps even improve.

Biden ( I like this guy very much) met the expectation people have of a senator whose been in Washington for 36 years.. No more no less.

How someone talks isn't an indication of the quality of wisdom or political judgement that they have.

It's not necessarily how she talks but also how she processes information and respond. Not in crisp point 1, 2, 4 etc. But in very plain language addresses issues the way she understands it and then later in the response addresses them. I think many ordinary folks who are still undecided will find it quite resonating..

Take your biases off and try to put on an objective observer hat guys

Are none of us here "ordinary folks"?

As I said - it wasn't lost on me that the moderator mentioned on serveral occasions that the candidates weren't really answering the questions asked. I think the format of the debate catered specifically to the sort of performance that Palin put in. Polished certainly, but ultimately rather superficial.

No we ain't. We are political junkies cruising the blogosphere if not peddling our povs on vj.

Who do you class as "ordinary folks" then?

A person who doesn't really use the internet, doesn't post on message boards, doesn't have more than a token, superficial interest in politics and who can be swayed simply by feel-good rhetoric?

Did we get substance out of this debate?

Did we really? Honestly?

Folks who don't spend hours trolling the net or watching tv going after every bit of commentary and punditry

By that definition - you're looking at the urban poor (who don't have a PC, and can't afford more than basic cable) and people in nursing homes.

Oh - and prison inmates.

There's 2 parties. Unless you are voting for a 3rd party guy or write in (in which case you are pretty much wasting your vote), EVERYONE is a sheep. I hate that phrase. Its a throw out when one doesn't know better how to insult someone.

And some integrity too.

That guy has posted every single op-ed article he could find that's anti-Obama. Excercising absolutely no quality control whatsoever. And he talks about people "trolling the internet for every piece of commentary and punditry they can find".

What did the conservatives think about her also supporting legislative acceptance of gay unions? Not that she wanted to change the fundamental definition of what is a tradtional marriage, no, but you know she has like, all kinds of people within her own family and friends circle and she also totally supports their personal right to whatever they want to do, so long as it doesn't threaten what she understands as being the traditional one woman one man marriage union.
