Can Tiny Fey play Palin in the VP debates? Please?

I think Palin should quit, then be replaced by Richard Simmons.

This is yummy lemonade...

Solid debate on both sides. I thought McCain came off overly aggressive, but hey, that's what his constituent wants, so he probably considers that a success. I swear to god I caught a George Bush "heh" in there. Obama was solid and remained pretty unrattled, not letting McCain bully his way to the last word every time. They each had their strong moments, but no knock out blows on either side.

For what it's worth, Obama did a better job of picking up on Lerher's oh so subtle proddings to make it convorsational. All theatrics of course, but Mr. Townhall meeting seemed pretty unwilling for a while to step out from behind the moderator. He eventually caught on, but I give Obama the advantage on that aspect by a long shot.

I liked the rooster crowing in the background of Baghdad.

Alex, they talked to their correspondents in Beijing, Moscow, Afghanistan (Kabul I think) and Baghdad. It was short and sweet, but at least gave more than the usual pundit spin that comes out of the US press.

I don't think it changed any minds, actually I thought McCain came off better than I expected. The test is, how many minds, if any, did it make up?

For the first time in my memory, I'm looking forward to the V.P. debate though...

Palin has already won the VP debate.

Link? I mean ad?

The debate has not yet occured so I cannot provide a link.....

I don't know if you are familier with an MTV animated series called Daria. If you are I refer you to the episode titled "Quinn the Brain". That's the best I can do for you for now.

Rest assured, Palin has already won the contest, trust me.

I was referring to the ad that the McCain campaign posted this afternoon stating that he won the debate before it even happened.

Oh that....optimistic fellow, that McCain....turns out he was right(in my partisan opinion) :)

I am basically saying that Palin has already won because the media has conditioned the public to expect a blithering idiot....all she has to do is exceed the publics extremely low expectations and Bam, we have a winner.

Palin has already won because the battle for the lowest expectations, with the help of the mainstream media(whether they mean to or not) has already been fought and won beyond her wildest dreams.

In the episode of Daria that I was referring to earlier, Quinn was on the verge of having to repeat the 9th grade and then all of the sudden writes a paper that is barely ok....but because her teacher didn't expect it to be that good he not only gave her an A+ but decided that Quinn should tutor her sister Daria(a straight A student) whose best subject happens to be writing.
