Palin Power

03Oct08

Sarah is a superstar. Thursday’s highly anticipated face-off between Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Delaware senator Joe Biden was the most-watched vp debate of all time. Last night’s event was seen by nearly 70 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s the most-viewed debate — presidential or vp — since at least the second […]

Dick Pleased

03Oct08

Dick Morris thinks Sarah Palin’s debate performance was big news. She showed originality, charisma and sass – a style that is refreshing and different in our politics. She didn’t just win the vice-presidential debate, she showed that she belongs with Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton as among the best communicators of our modern political times. […]

On NBC, Chuck Todd observed “those that were tuning in looking for some sort of car wreck, probably came away disappointed.” CBS’s Katie Couric proposed, without saying in which camp journalists fall, “the headline is Governor Sarah Palin did […]

Better Wright

03Oct08

Yesterday I posted an ad from the Judicial Network that attempts to make the country aware of the Obamafia. It was ok. Here’s an RNC version that’s stronger, I think. But for this to be done with the viciousness it warrents, aren’t we looking for a 527campaign of expensive truth telling?
