I'm glad Palin exceeded expectations
If she had given a performance last night like her Couric interviews, the sympathy brigades would be moving in.

Seriously, intelligent people with an ounce of compassion would start feeling sorry for her. But her mean, snarky monologues tinged with the folksy, joe-six-pack caricature made her less sympathetic.

She actually made uncommitteds more willing to solidify their votes for Obama/Biden with no guilt attached.

Thanks Sarah!

2. Yes...me too.

Now that we know what an incredible genius she is we can look forward to seeing her on MTP, This Week and Face the Nation this Sunday.

Here is my rehearsed and memorized statement about the debate:
Think of all the bad actresses you know, soap operas, B movies, Lifetime movies, Tori Spelling, etc....EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE DONE WHAT SARAH PALIN DID LAST NIGHT. They could have spent weeks memorizing answers written by other people. When asked a question that they didn't have an answer for, they simply fill in with a canned answer or lines from speeches. Tori could play the part, but if ET stuck a microphone in her face and asked her a real question, she would sound just like Palin with Couric.

Palin's performance grades:

As potential POTUS - F
As an actress - C (But she shows promise...the Lifetime Network should snap her up!)

3. Great analogy you make to a bad actress. No capacity for subtlety
just memorization and regurgitation with wildly exaggerated hostility then folksiness.
