Click on where it says, "Poll: Who won the debate?" (Top-middle)

Also check out some of the comments, especially the one where the dude calls for a spell check.

9. The BEST Comment Ever

- Pure Snark, for the Subtle--Purely Partisan for the Subtle-Impaired!

"Palin...great job!!!!

I was very impressed with our Governor. She took Biden to task. Now I disagree with McCain's new stand on the banking system. The problem is that we haven't deregulate the banking system enough! We need unbridled capitalism! Our socialist government...which started with that commie president Roosevelt...has tied the hands of our business and banking leaders. McCain needs to stop this socialist talk. He is on the right track with the tax breaks for the wealthy. They provide the jobs. We need to break the unions! They have forced our busineses over seas. And McCain is right on with his health care system. We need to tax people that have health care and give a $5000 check to the insurance companies which will provide health care for the uninsured. The common worker does not have the ability to manage money. Just look at the real reason for the housing problem...poor people got a house they couldn't afford. Now they cannot pay their mortage. And look what it has done to our economy! In 1997 Clinton made it easier for the poor to get a house. So, I blame Clinton as well. What we need to do is increase taxes on the poor and middle class. They have shown that they cannot manage money....credit card debt, forclosures...etc. We need tax breaks for the rich and businesses, they can manage money and provide jobs. My hero, Andrew Carnegie, said the same thing. He paid his workers as little as possible. He knew that they would just waste the money. Just look at all the good he did in the world. We need men and women like Carnegie, Hoover, McCain, and Palin. Thank God for capitalism and John McCain!"

Do you think ANY of the Repukes will get this?

[mtnsnake]

11. That is priceless!

I doubt if too many Palin fans will get that person's snark. LOLOLOL!

[grannylib]

12. Are you kidding? They'll probably nominate the poster for sainthood.

[Betsy Ross]

10. To FIND the poll

13. "..I almost wished Biden had reached over and knocked her glasses off.."

UNEDUCATED SARAH

Palin's uneducated stances shined through and through in all of her comments. I say comments because she failed to answer any of the questions posed by Gwen Ifill. That stupid grin of her's (the "Bush Smirk") was aggravating to the point I almost wished Biden had reached over and knocked her glasses off but he's not that kind of guy.

While her "act" was much better than her interview with Katie Couric, she was obviously coached but she did not know the meanings of many of the news words she used (clearly not used in her regular vocabulary), and I especially enjoyed her answer to the Achille's Heal question. She did not answer it because she didn't know what it meant! :-(

Also, it is not "eye-rack" and "eye-ran"; it's "er-rack" and "er-ran"! Dontcha know nuthin'???? Moron!

[boppers]

14. heal?

ITYM heel

[1Hippiechick]

19. Yep - the author misspelled it, but since I was quoting, I didn't change anything.

[firedupdem]

15. the one guy was a super racist! n/t

[CitizenLeft]

16. some of those comments are very thoughtful...

They see the mess we're in very clearly and recognize how hollow her answers were. Good for our fellow Alaskans!

[mtnsnake]

18. Yes, some of them really are

It's refreshing and encouraging to see.

I love some of the funny ones, though. :evilgrin:

[mtnsnake]

17. "She blew her one and only chance. She surely killed the Republican ticket once and for all."

...."Biden made the evening by acccomplishing his task of relentless (and truthful) attacks on John McCain. Obama up by another six points...."

Here are a couple more comments from page 2 and 3 of the comments pages:

"Palin is out of her league. She is an embarrassment and is unable to talk about the issues in detail. She also refused to answer questions, but instead talked about the pre-made talking points and repeating slogans. Pathetic!"

"Even after 4 Ibuprofins I still couldn't get rid of the throbbing headache the beauty queen gave me...listening to her was like fingernails on a blackboard...a MAVERICK'S blackboard..."

:rofl:

[CitizenLeft]

20. "...a MAVERICK'S blackboard..."

One more "we're a teeeeeeeem of mavericks" and I was going to claw my eyes out.
