To me, Sarah Palin looked nervous and seemed to go back to her talking points much much more. How many times did you hear the word Maverick and other cliches. Again, to me, I came away thinking that Sarah Palin should not be anywhere near the Presidency of the United States. It also seemed to me that the only folks after the debate lavishing praise on Palin were the Republican point people. The folks that were more balanced said that she held her own amid low expectations and did ok. I agree with that to a point. The other blind republican lackies piling lavish praise on her seemed forced and purposeful- If you say it over and over again that she did well, then folks will believe it. The praise was artifical. I want very hard to vote for McCain, we'll see. Keystonepaul
