Way to go Sarah!
You mean, by saying she wasn't going to answer the questions that were
being asked?
Palin didn't do herself any more damage, but I'd bet polls show the
undecided voters thought Biden won handily.
I guess I misunderstood her...I took it that she meant that she wasn't
going to fall flat on her face by answering the questions in the way her
critics and the media expected...you know like on SNL or with Katie
Couric. She was going to be herself, not like her handlers forced her to
be in those previous interviews. I thought Biden, like previous men she's
debated (in Alaska) underestimated her a little. Of course, he was in a
tight spot...men just don't attack women in polite society and get away
with it.

I called it pretty much a draw, which is pretty damn good for a gal going up
against a 35 year veteran in congress. He should have been able to mop the
floor with her, but he didn't even come close to doing that.- Hide quoted text -

Agreed.

Even with the poll stating that they thought Biden did better in the
debate, some 84% stated that Palin did better than they expected.

I think the number who think she did better than they expected is the
number who expected her to completely melt down, and run off the stage
in tears.

As long as she remained standing upright, she did better than
expected.

Indeed.
