Here is the full video of the Vice Presidential Debate (it starts at about 34 seconds in). Compliments of the C-SPAN: Debate Hub. What did you think? Who won the debate? Did Palin actually answer any questions? Let me know what you think in comments.
Are Republicans Turning on Sarah Palin? Should They?
Sarah Palin has had some pretty interesting answers to some seemingly easy questions. [See her interview with Katie Couric here, and the SNL parody here]. Some are questioning her experience, and whether she could be a good president. What do you think? Even some conservatives are beginning to turn on Palin.
Kathleen Parker - Palin Problem…
If at one time women were considered heretical for swimming upstream against feminist orthodoxy, they now face condemnation for swimming downstream — away from Sarah Palin.
First they were upset because Sarah Palin hasn’t been invited to appear on Oprah Winfrey’s program, even though the latter has openly stated that she supports Barack Obama. Several Republican women’s groups have asked viewers to boycott Oprah’s show.
Now they’re upset because PBS’ Gwen Ifill, who is scheduled to release a book in January which analyzes the new era of black political leaders (obviously including a section on Barack Obama), is moderating tomorrow night’s Vice Presidential debate.
They want Sarah Palin to appear on Oprah. They don’t want Sarah Palin to be questioned by Gwen Ifill.
Hmm!
Let me see, the neocons are trying to discredit both Oprah Winfrey and Gwen Ifill.
What do Oprah and Gwen Ifill have in common?
?????
Still Thinking …….
Still Thinking …….
Ah yes, they’re both members of that evil, elitist, left wing media.
Well, if Sarah Palin is worried about Gwen Ifill being biased she can always ask John McCain to sit in the audience. That way he’ll be able to run up on the stage and answer any questions that he feels are too hard for Sarah to handle. After all, Sarah has been listening to Joe Biden since she was in the second grade and seems to be in awe of his experience.
This is getting to be too ridiculous

This is an interesting question. Are you better off than you were eight years ago? Do you know anyone who is? Just wondering. Let me know in comments.
NOW’s President Kim Gandy on Colbert Report. It is very funny.
Never underestimate the power of women who feel they are targets of campaign condescension. I received an email urging me to donate to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin’s name three times over the last two weeks, and that my friends, means it went viral. But just how viral? Almost $1 million dollars worth according to Ben Smith at Politico. Why does Palin inspire such a strong reaction from women who favor choice? Linda Hirschman’s editorial in the Washington Post outlines part of a future that simultaneously inspires fear and fury in women across the country. I’m sure Palin is going to enjoy receiving all of those thank you cards for donations to Planned Parenthood.

I will be watching tonight’s debate knowing just how historical this event truly is.
Oh and gee, glad to know John McCain has decided to show.
Yes, the economy is in the toilet. It has been for sometime, Senator McCain.
But
Tonight’s debate and the INCREDIBLE significance of where the debate is taking place has been YEARS in the making and has come at a very high price for many Americans.
The acknowledgment of their sacrifices and their challenges should not be postponed one minute longer.
Segregation was and is horrendous. Why should any American have to fight, be humiliated or denied their right to receive an education based upon race [gender, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation]?
This is a terrible, terrible, unbelievably horrendous mark in American history.
I applaud those that stood up to an unfair system and created a path for either themselves and/or others to change the status quo.
Tonight is significant and I shall be watching.

With all the McCain hoopla over the last two days, you may have missed the Sarah Palin interview…I know I did. But, this is the woman that could literally be a heartbeat away from the presidency. You need to see this. Much of this interview is quite unbelievable. You can watch the first two clips and see the full Palin interview, or see additional clips of her answers to specific questions. And, just because we can all use a good laugh…If nothing else, check out the last video clip, it’s really funny. Don’t forget to let me know what you think in comments.
