I love Sarah Palin

…she’s eating Biden’s lunch.
Sarah Palin, the GOP’s self-proclaimed "pit bull in lipstick," threw off her muzzle in Thursday night’s highly anticipated vice presidential debate and took more than a few chomps out of rival Joe Biden and Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Striding confidently out on stage, the Alaska governor reached across to Biden and set the folksy tone early.
"Nice to meet you," Palin said as the crowd welcomed the two combatants. "Hey, can I call you Joe?"

"She was polished, direct, folksy, and on message. She stressed her personal experience both as a mom and as a governor, from the kitchen table to the executive branch, her record as a reformer and bipartisan deal maker. She even got Biden to agree with her,"

Biden said McCain is the "odd man out" on Iraq, and that President Bush and the Iraqi prime minister are working toward a gradual troop drawdown similar to the withdrawal timeline Obama advocates.
"We will end this war," he said. "For John McCain there is no end in sight to end this war — fundamental difference."
He called McCain "dead wrong" on the fundamental issues of the war.
Asked to respond, Palin said: "Your plan is a white flag of surrender in Iraq."

Biden said that in the past decade, McCain had voted "20 times against funding alternative energy sources and thinks, I guess, the only answer is drill, drill, drill."
"The chant is, ‘drill, baby drill," Palin countered quickly, unwilling to yield to Biden on that issue - or any other.
On the environment, Palin declined to attribute the cause of climate change to man-made activities alone. "There is something to be said also for man’s activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet," she said, adding that she didn’t want to argue about the causes.
Biden said the cause was clearly man-made, and added, "If you don’t understand what the cause is, it’s virtually impossible to come up with a solution."

Senator Joe Biden lied at least 14 times during the vice presidential debate according to those counting at John McCain’s presidential headquarters.
Tucker Bounds, a spokesman from GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s campaign said in a statement, “Joe Biden graduated from his trademark verbal gaffe to outright lie in tonight’s debate.” Click here for the fourteen lies.
She was warm, fresh, funny, confident, energetic, personable, relentless, and on message. She roasted Obama’s flip-flops on the surge and tea-with-dictators declarations, dinged Biden’s bash-Bush rhetoric, challenged the blame-America defeatism of the Left, and exuded the sunny optimism that energized the base in the first place.
McCain has not done many things right. But Sarah Palin proved tonight that the VP risk he took was worth it.
Her performance also underscored the underhandedness of the hatchet job editors at ABC News and CBS News, which failed to capture her solid competence on the whole array of foreign and domestic policy issues on the debate table tonight. (I didn’t care for all the “greed” rhetoric, but I understand they are trying to appeal to independents and Dems. They’re trying to win the election.)

Sarah Palin is a a phenomenon. She is a force of nature. She got Biden on the defensive and never let up. Even Joe Lieberman said "She hit it out of the park." Big win for her. Whether McCain-Palin wins this election or not, Palin has a future in American politics. MSNBC is going crazy. I love it.
I dont care what anybody says, I have never voted. I dont see the point. If Sarah Palin runs, not only will I vote for her I will also donate my time to her campaign. I think that she is the answer. I LOVE SARAH PALIN ♥♥♥ FOR PRESIDENT♥♥♥.
