The Lion and Gun

My take is pretty simple - Palin dodged the debate. At every opportunity she sidestepped arguments and policy discussion in favor of simple talking points and cliché platitudes. When asked questions that might require a little explanation she would convert said question into a 'yes' or 'no' and start talking about ending greed on Wall Street (good luck!). Joe Biden didn't have much to work with in terms of 'debate' so he just kept scoring points on the empty net that was every issue of substance. Yet I'm sure that Dems will find this oddly unsatisfying. Why? Because all people are going to talk about this evening and tomorrow is Sarah Palin.

The only thing more I can muster is a 'meh', followed by a Joe Biden sigh. I guess it's endearing that Palin says things like "darn right" and pronounces 'nuclear' like the president - ie, 'Newk-u-lar' - but really, how can this person possible be President? I'm all ears for intelligent defenses of her performance.
