Unfortunately not. She comes across as a complete ass-hat, dumb-as barbie blonde.

Reference: Name a magazine


She's doing "ok" in the current debate on TV, but thus far she's come across as a dumb-shit.

..and this coming from somebody about to vote for McCain/Palin.

How many edits and re-edits did they do to make her look this stupid? The interview she had with Charlie Gibson was a good example of that. The interview was edited so that it presented her in the worst light.

Somehow I think that any woman that can rise to the position of governor, in a predominately male dominated state such as Alaska, can't be too much of an air head.

I think she did a great job just talking to the people. Biden is saying the same bullshit every politician has said since the begining of time.

She bitch slapped Biden 3 times..."Oh Joe...Golly Gee...I'm just gonna have to correct you on this one again..."

I don't think she got over at all.

She just was able to make herself look better than she's look in a long time.

Biden ate her food big dog style. She did however get him on the economy and those "innocent" little quips like the one mentioned above.

She was not a good choice for this ticket.

I just watched a registered republican say she thought, even though she's voting GOP, that the dems are going to win this election.

I was watching NBC and both Geraldine Ferraro (Democrat) and Peggy Noonan (Republican) said she killed it.

I agree.

I don't know what kind of preconceptions people had coming in to the debate.

I agree....and I am surprised. I thought Biden was going to dominate the issues. Whether or not I agree with him is unimportant. She however did very well and reassured a lot of voters of her potential capabilities.

She did well like Obama did well. Neither of them could compare to their repsective long term policians, but they held their own, stayed on track and didn't mess up. It's content versus delivery and we had the same result for both debates; delivery held it's own while content bore the 'meat.'

The polls already show that her favorable numbers are high and Biden was seen as the 'politician' type (not good in these times).

If the Repub ticket loses this year, Palin will have set herself up for 8-12 years from now.

I think Noonan and Ferraro were dead on in their analysis.

How many of you guys just wanted to watch her lips move? :P
