SHE TOTALLY WANTS YOU
I’m on a roll at PunditKitchen today:

Hmm? What’s that? No, I didn’t watch the debate, apart from the highlights reel. Yes, they did show it on local TV here. Twice. On two channels. Why bother losing 90 minutes of my life when I can just read the FactCheck summary and have all the spin filtered out?
Both sides are claiming total victory, of course. My favorite summary is from Michelle Malkin:
Michelle, of course, is the same person who thinks that everyone of Arab or Mexican descent – as well as Rachael Ray – wants to covert America into an all-gay Spanish-speaking terrorist training camp. So there you go.
Whatever. It’s safe to say that while Palin’s performance didn’t single-handedly cost McCain the election (with the exception of Michigan, apparently), it didn’t really change the equation either (if you don’t count the AWESOME Nielsen ratings). And why would it? From what little I saw, Gwen Ifill threw both of them softballs all night. Would it have killed her to ask, “Ms Palin, has it ever occurred to you that the term ‘Joe Six Pack’ isn’t exactly a compliment?”
Which is why I don’t bother watching these things in the first place.
Crack a 40,

"Sarah Palin is the real deal. Five weeks on the campaign trail, thrust onto the national stage, she rocked tonight's debate. She was warm, fresh, funny, confident, energetic, personable, relentless, and on message."
