"Shannon Sarver" Good stuff.
What I also noticed was that she didn't answer the
questions - and actually said she wouldn't answer them the way the
moderator wanted her to.
She crammed for the test and she was going to
make whatever was in her brain fit.
Hopefully, everyone else notices that, as well.

CNN John King 11:11PM : "National poll we conducted, Anderson, during the debate. Remember last week's debate more Democrats were watching than Republicans. Here we go right now, who did the best job in the debate? 51% said Senator Biden did the best job in the debate, 36% rated Governor Palin as doing the best job in the debates. So, if you're scoring who is the winner by that poll you'd say Senator Biden.
ABC Dowd 10:52 PM: "I think fundamentally the American public came away with this tonight, just like they came away with the debate last night, saying, you know, I'm leaning in Obama and Biden's corner, and this didn't change my mind.
"
Gibson: I'm amazed that we have agreement from all three of you.
CNN David Gergen 10:05 PM: People underestimating how good Biden was Biden "was really good"
CNN Alex Castellanos 10:38 PM : "The second part of the debate, you know Republicans aren't going to win debates on Iraq, I don't care who you put on that stage tonight, we're not going to win debates on Iraq and we didn't tonight. But overall, we've had a rough week as Republicans. You know, this has not been our best week.
"
CBS Bob Schieffer 10:35 PM: "I must say, I thought Senator Biden had a very good night. He seemed comfortable with the facts, it was clear he has dealt with these issues over the years, I thought he put his experience on display in a very good way.
"
MSNBC Chris Matthews 10:35 PM: "Not only did she say I'm not going to do any more interviews, it seemed, but she was saying, I'm not going to listen to uh Gwen Ifill tonight. She said I'm not going to uh give the answers the moderator wants to ask for. What an extraordinary statement. I'm not going to play by the rules and when I get elected I want more power in the office than it's had before. Hmm.. Not too much humility here.
"
CBS Bob Schieffer 10:35 PM: "I must say, I found it a little disconcerting, time and again, Governor Palin would just choose not to answer the question and launch into some dissertation, sometimes talking points, and not really address what Gwen Ifill had asked her.
"
PBS David Brooks 10:39 PM: "When he talked about his family and the death of his wife, that is a moment people remember, what they remember about the debates is the moment when you think you see the person and that was a moment where I thought you saw Joe Biden.
"
MSNBC Andrea Mitchell 10:38 PM: "She didn't answer the questions. And, in fact, she would say, I want to talk about taxes, which hadn't even come up.

FOX News Frank Luntz 10:44 PM: With the Luntz Polling Group was in the Anheuser-Busch Headquarters, When Asked Independent Voters Their Reactions One Voter Said, "she had a presentation about her, but that also annoyed me, too. She catered to kind of an adorability and lacked substance.
"
Washington Post (Eugene Robinson): Exactly an hour into the debate, Joe Biden began an answer by saying, "Facts matter, Gwen." To him, maybe. To Sarah Palin, maybe not. The pattern, so far, has been one of Biden presenting facts and Palin countering with... saying stuff. Sometimes she throws in a fact, but mostly she seems to be offering a string of approximate policy positions, encomiums to the American spirit, disputed interpretations of Barack Obama's record and anecdotes from Alaska.
