If you mean the GSE reform bill ( s. 190) that McCain cosponsored that would have prevented the need for the bailout, it died because the dems fought it tooth, nail and filibuster. Can't believe he was stupid enough to open with reference to the subject when the dems got their fingers in the cookie jar. Probably figured she was too stupid to nail him on his bold faced lie. That's what you get for watching left wing news because she did nail him on it!!!

Sarah's back!!!

Kick backs on a financial disclosure? If you're gonna' be sarcastic, you gotta' be logical too. That's fundamental.

IMO, Palin's big mistake tonight was she didnt protect the "Maverick"

Speaking from an unbiased perspective, Palin should've rebutted Biden's remark about "He's not a Maverick in regards to America issues." Biden's fiery "He's not a Maverick" remark was the diamond cutter of political moves. Palin should've raised her hand and ask to respond to that. This whole "Maverick" thing is their bread and butter. How do you not respond to that?

That argument along with the "Bridge to Nowhere" line along with Biden precise thought-out responses to questions showed that he was the clear victor in tonights debate.

Palin was decent. And I thought all she had to do is perform decent in order to the win the debate. Boy, was I wrong. Biden really came out of nowhere. I'm very confident he will win over PA and other blue collar middle class whites. Biden looked like he knew what he was talking about. And he refuted many of Palin's claims. Palin was just reading she didnt refute or establish anything.

Rules were changes so that she could do well and she still flunked. I'm going to try some of Sarah Palin tactics when talking with my boss from this day forward. If I do not like his/her question I'll respond by answering another question he/she did not ask, even if it makes absolutely know sense what so ever. This reminds me of an old phase I learned while in the Air Force. "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them with your BS." And from what I have read on this post and heard from the talking heads (FOX, CNN, ABC and CBS) it works. This should get me promoted to at least CEO of the company I work for. I'm sure our enemies are saying "please vote the airhead in, please vote the airhead in". As Don King always say, "Only in America...". AMAZING!! She has really help me decide who I will vote for. I will not be writing in Micky Mouse this time, I'll vote for Obama and Biden. Thanks Sarah, you are a good o'le gal, but you should not be running this country or any country. I'm still trying to figure out how in the world did she become the Governor of Alaska. What were the other candidates like? U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!!

It is embarrassing that we depend on hostile nations for energy we could produce here along with new technologies to free us from carbon based fuels permanently. McCain will put everything on the table to free us from our oil addiction. Good goin' Sarah!!!

If you're going to make sarcastic comments about Biden's finances, you should at least know that Palin's finances are very close to his. Or did you mean to include both of them in

living in a real fancy spread on his Senator's (Governor's)salary with raises and a kickin' benefits package that he (She)gets to give himself each year...just like the rest of us do at our jobs. Yeah, I really connected with him on that. Love to sit and chat some more but it's time for me to go to my second job now.

I mean really guys, you have to give her some credit. Only five weeks on the national stage, savaged by the media and the left, up against a 36 year veteran of the senate who is an excellent debater.

This is one tough woman. Five weeks, just five friggin weeks.
