1. MSNBC's Tweety, Olbermann & others aren't thinking she did enough
It wasn't a great performance IMO - she sounded silly on radio which is how I heard it.

13. The gosh golly crap & talking points sound moronic on radio
It really sounded stupid - those inane quotes are going to come back and bite her.

2. Tweety on MSNBC was concerned about her Cheney-like desire for expanding VP powers
David Gregory didn't want to talk about that, so he brought in Mrs. Greenspan to say that Palin did a good job.

5. I hope that the American people agree. I hated her folksy stuff
just weird and not what you expect out of a president/vp. I thought I was watching a parody of her

4. I'm surprised
I can only think that maybe they're genuinely frightened of the winking freak.

7. He was quietly brilliant. She was Stepford Candidate, Sitcom Sarah.
Glad to see that the networks are joining the public sooner than last time. We can see who knows their stuff and who's just photogenic.

10. Biden won and Palin didn't lose her base.
I think the debate has not really changed the race.

15. NBC was awful
They started out afraid to fix it, but after calling it a tie they then started sneaking in little jabs about how Palin won because she didn't break down and confess to her own stupidity. Then NBC had on Geraldine Ferraro to praise Palin for being a woman. Then they had a panel with Peggy Noonan, who surprised no one by pronouncing Palin the biggest debate winner in history. Then NBC had a lady from PBS who thought it was good that Palin did better than people thought she would. Next it was a lady GOP governor from MA who gave all the GOP talking points. It wound up with that egghead they have on Sunday mornings now praising Palin too.

All in all, it was one big gush fest for Palin. I'm reading here that polls showed that Biden won. I'm about to send an E-mail to the NRC henchmen at NBC.
