The morning after, it's even easier to see exactly how Joe Biden won Thursday's debate -- and precisely how Sarah Palin faltered.
The highlights:
-- Biden wasn't smug, he wasn't condescending and yet he hammered home point after point, such as linking John McCain to President Bush's failed policies.
-- Biden stayed on point. He didn't wander around after moderator Gwen Ifill asked a question. Whether it was Iran, the bailout or other topics, Biden answered what he was asked.
-- Biden talked about foreign affairs like he knew the trouble spots of the world and how he and Barack Obama would handle them.
On the other hand:
-- While Palin didn't commit huge gaffes, she wandered all over the place in answering questions. It was noticeable, and made it clear Palin's knowledge of many topics was skin-deep.
-- Palin tried too hard to appeal to "Joe Six Pack" and her efforts to connect to the "middle class" -- words McCain hardly mentioned in his debate -- came off strained.
-- Finally, Palin only once or twice actually had the goods in attacking Biden or Obama. One successful thrust was, ironically, to praise Biden for opposing some of Obama's anti-Iraq war policies. Other than that, Palin didn't lay a hand on Biden.

Go Read "Half Baked Alaskan"
Hey Jen, go Read Half-Baked Alaskan.....
you're gonna love it
Why count--unless you care?
Funny, I post a comment, then, someone chooses to respond to my comment in their typically juvenile manner. Then I respond, then another comment directed at me. Then I respond. Another comment directed at me. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Rest assured, anything directed my way, I respond to.
I would like to repeat that I am extremely disappointed that the comments directed at me became much more lame as the day wore on. Really no imagination or originally. I was hoping for so much more.

Try MB?. I will let your liberal mind go through the alphabet until you get a match....
Are you also keeping track of your posts of nonsense?
What is that, seven in a row?
Amazing--jenniferm continues her record-breaking string of posts about jenniferm, vs. responding to the topic. Is that six? Seven?
Again, very disappointing
I really thought you had some potential. That insulting ability you have isn't really all that new or exciting--at least on this blog.
Have a nice weekend! I'm sure you will see me here on Monday and you will, as your nature has been the past couple of days, to follow me around with your witty comments.
Well, thank you. Now in return...
Here's how adults handle that sort of thing. If you think this is worth bringing up every time you wish to refer to President Obama, all you have to do is say, "President Obama, who is woefully unprepared to be President of the United States..."
The difference is that by calling him a name that means something special to you and to no one else, you can expect none of those who, out of sheer boredom, read your uninformative little "posts," to "get" your "barb," unless you're prepared to explain the joke every time you post. See how simple, jugend?
Poli Sci majors are so difficult to housebreak.

I will say once more very slowwwwwy so your liberal mind can understand, The Thin One is not calling the messiah a name, it is, rather, a statement of his woeful unpreparedness to assume the presidency of America...
Sorry to upset your liberal "mind"....
