Why Palin Won the Debate

I know the liberal mainstream media will try to spin the vice presidential debate as a win for Joe Biden, but that's because they continue to be out of touch with what the folks really care about: Perkiness.

It wasn't simply that Biden wasn't perky enough, but the guy just doesn't understand the plain folks. Not once did Biden punctuate a point with a snappy wink. That's for darn sure. The folks like a politician who knows how to wink to show they're right there with you. My only problem with Sarah was that he did not point and click at the same time.

Yet Sarah was far more than perky. She was shrewd. Shrewd enough to know darn well than to answer the questions that were asked. Biden felt he had to answer the actual questions, filling those answers with all kinds of endless specifics.

If he gave one more detail to explain how he and Obama plan to change the horrific direction Bush and company has taken this country that McCain wants to continue, I swear I would have crawled through the TV machine and strangled him.
