Well allright. Its my baby's time to shine! I'm here in St. Louis but I donno yet if Im actually gonna watch from the audience or not. I wont lie, I got bored earlier and got into the minibar, so Steve's been saying I don't get to go down and see the thing live. I said like hell I dont! But I don't know, also its pretty comfortable up here and I might be able to blog easier than from my blackberry. An its true Im feelin pretty good right now.
9:00 - OK, I'm at least starting things out up here in the room. Kind of flipping around, not sure where I'll end up but CNN is in the lead right now. They got these circles on the side of the TV, and a bunch of regular folks with dials to rate the whole thing. It's all pretty scientific, like how they score boxing.
9:03 - Blah blah blah I'm Joe Biden. Man who would even listen to this guy? He doesn't even drive a truck.
9:06 - Yeah, Sarah! Nice opener, baby. That thing about soccer was Steve's idea, its meant to get more hispanic people to vote for us.
9:08 - Was that a wink?! I mean fine, I know its TV, but Im just saying Brad better not be in this f***ing building.
9:11 - I think Sarah is right, the people need to rise up! We need to tear those Wall Street boys up, I am sick of them an I bet you are too.
9:14 - Im glad Sarah is talking about about cutting taxes when she was mayor. I mean OK, the hockey arena actually cost a lot of money. But its like how they dont count the army when their doing the budget, you shouldn't really count that.
9:19 - Steve says I should remind everyone that the financial services industry is composed of patriotic Americans who have proven to be steadfast allies of those who fight for less burdensome regulation and more robust economic growth. OK its me again.
9:22 - Sarah is talking about taking on the oil companies in Alaska. I can maybe add some insite, she did it all right. She kept tellin em you should drill more and give us more money! And they tried to say no, but then she made em. And you know what? It definitely made things a little uncomfortable when I took her to my office xmas party at BP (at least until everyone had had a few). She is a tough cookie, take it from me.
9:30 - OK, got a little lost there. I think that energy independence is going to prevent people from going bankrupt? I never claimed to be as smart as Sarah, she is definitely the brains in the family. Sometimes I cant really follow what shes saying, its at such a high level I hardly understand a word.
9:34 - I will never understand why the democrat party cannot for the life of them pronounce the work nucular.
9:36 - OK on to homos. I got nothing against em I guess. Sarah is even more open minded, in fact one of her best friends is a gay. But shes right, marriage is between a man and a woman. Or between a man or a woman and Jesus, I guess (if one of them is a priest or nun).
9:42 - Ive been on the campaign trail for a while now, and I can tell you I am so sick of Iraq. I think everyone else is too, but that doesnt mean we can stop, it just means we want to stop hearing so much about it! Its like when you sign up for a record club but then they jack up the price and you cant stop paying, they'll just hire a collection agency! You gotta just keep sending those checks until its over. Iraq is like that. You just have to try not to think about it too much except when you're enjoying the Toby Keith CDs or oil or whatever.
9:49 - Shoutout to Hank Kissinger! Hell yeah, Hank! He must of been tickled by that. Sarah and I have both become really good friends with him, I could tell you some stories about what that boy gets up to but I probably shouldnt, all I'll say is the man can hold his liquor.
9:51 - Biden just mentioned Spain, I think that is his first major slip up. America knows the score about Spain... and we're sick of it! You dont want to associate with those people Mr. Biden. Bad move.
10:01 - Oh man. Does anyone know how late is this supposed to go? I'm trying to pay attention to all this stuff about nukes but honestly it's just reminding me that War Games was on TBS earlier today. That movie is all right. I talked to Sarah about it after, we agreed when she's elected she should definitely put a stop to that missile computer stuff.
10:08 - Team of mavericks! Like when batman teams up with catwoman! I think that is the image America is going to come away with tonight.
10:17 - OK flipped away for a while, the History channel is showing Tombstone!!! I hope this wraps up soon, they hadnt gotten to the part where everybody gets shot but its coming up!
10:29 - I couldn't resist, I watched some more. In my defense Wyatt Earp is also pretty much a maverick. But back to the debate, I think it was a good closing statement. The one point I think it was really good for Sarah to make was about the main streamed media, they have been against us from the start.
Well I suppose I got a little impatient toward the end there, but man these things are long. I think Sarah won it but then I never had any doubt. Way to go baby, tonight you were America's "huckleberry"!
she's doing great Todd!!

Posted by: LauralovesTerriers | October 02, 2008 at 10:18 PM
So you made it through. You deserve a cookie. You did good makin sure not to answer questions...diverting the debate back to energy. All average people in this country will like you because you've successfully shown us how average you really are!!
Posted by: April | October 02, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Haha!! Hilarious! At around nine thirty I texted one of my friends, asking why for the life of the Republican party can they not pronounce NUCLEAR! YOU, my dear friend(s), ARE A GENIUS!
Posted by: Jennifer | October 02, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Yes Laura (can I call you Laura?), I'm in the house! Got a shout-out for ya too! WooHooo! SARAH PALIN ROCKS!!!
That nasty Joe Biden just doesn’t know when to quit. He should have just let you say what’s on your mind (even if your facts are a little fuzzy) and let it go. He acted like it was a debate or something! Obviously your cue cards had campaign talking points not silly old policy positions. If he had been prepared, he would have had cue cards with campaign talking points too! See, he’s just not nearly as smart as you or Mr. McCain.
Todd, you did an excellent job keeping up with Sarah's in-depth, logical and coherent responses. I think Sarah should have given a shout-out to you too!
P.S. That General McClellen, the commanding officer in Afghanistan you kept talking about, did President Bush recently promote his former Press Secretary or is it just a coincidence? Last I knew, General McKiernan was in charge. I’m confused.

I am a female, I am a full-time working mother in the transportation industry. The crap she pulled tonight with the darn-its, the winks and mocking smile set the woman's movement back about 200 years. All I can see her doing is smacking gum at some dock job while spanking the guys she works with as they walk by. I have worked damn hard in my job to get the respect of a majority 98 percent male old-school industry, she defiles my efforts. I wasn't going to vote because of the kids and work and trying to find someone to watch them, well guess what I am bringing them to the polls with me.....
Posted by: Carly | October 02, 2008 at 11:06 PM
That's great Carly!!!! Another vote for our gal Sarah!!!
(Seriously......this election is too important and we the people need EVERY vote! Plus, what a great thing to teach your kids! I applaud your efforts in breaking your own glass ceiling. All the best. Go Obama/Biden!)
Posted by: Trixie Norton | October 02, 2008 at 11:13 PM
I applaud you too, Carly!! We can't let youknowwho be one 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency!! Let alone, John McCain!! Lets not set women's rights back to the dark ages! Also, it would be nice to travel to Europe again without being embarrased to say I'm an American!! OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Posted by: LauralovesTerriers | October 03, 2008 at 12:01 AM
Clever Sarah. You sure did put Joe Biden in his place by correcting him. It was "DRILL BABY DRILL", not DRILL DRILL DRILL
Posted by: Liger | October 03, 2008 at 12:04 AM
Joe Biden, You came across as a thorough gentleman, in addition to being outstanding at the debate. Obama/Biden it is for me.
Posted by: Liger | October 03, 2008 at 12:08 AM
WOOOHOOOO TRIXIE!! Yes, you can call me Laura, gosh darn-it! We're all folksy-nice on this blog..Way to go, Sarah! You made Biden flash his liberal white teeth at you so many times that I think it might've made Todd jealous?? Uh, I was a little confused about the Mclellon(sp?)thing too, like Trixie. Wasn't he the guy who spoke at the podium when all the reporters gathered at the white house to ask questions and like, it was his job to answer the questions for President Bush? How did he end up in Afganiztan(sp?)?? Anyways, you and Todd must be exhorseted and need a lot of winkies(sleep) tonight..so no foolin around you two!! True Mavricks need their rest, so doggone-it, go to sleep and give a shoutout to yer folks and the kids:Briss, Willow Tree, Trigger, Tracker and the fetus of Briss and Levi... :)

After Sarah being coached intensively for last night's debate, it is now John McCain's turn. Word has it that John is so desperate and worried about the latest polls, that he is taking lessons from the CIA's department of dirty tricks, to turn this election in his favour.
Posted by: Liger | October 03, 2008 at 03:22 AM
9:36 - OK on to homos
Todd, use a better word the (homos) I dont care and say Gay's. Because the gay Men and Woman can help John and Sarah get in office.
Sarah, I love the fact you get Biden to say that he dose not support gay marriage. Because everyone think that to Dems do, and you rock last nigth
In Support with my vote
Chris a Gay Men.

Palin is clearly out of her depth, and her inability to answer straight questions, instead reading Stevie's and Tucker's notes with a gorgeous smile not the best Wasilla chickette could have done. That said, she provides great colour to the debate and contest - wish she was in Canada to enliven our own election!
Posted by: Ian from Canada | October 03, 2008 at 06:33 AM
Hey - one last thought...McCain - old fogey with a history of philandering, his moll, cologened to heck...Obama an arrogant SoB with a domineering other half. Biden an agressive and ill-tempered retiree and Palin - a failed car wash owner with a husband of dubious pedigree. Surely, the USA can do better than this ? You have over 300M to choose from!
Posted by: Ian from Canada | October 03, 2008 at 06:37 AM
Ian, why weren't you watching your own debates up there?
Posted by: BB | October 03, 2008 at 09:16 AM
Is the winking a special Hockey Mom thing? My kid does martial arts and basketball, and they didn't teach us The Wink.
At General JC Christian's place (http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/)
he posted a helpful diagram about the Palin-Cheney Branches of Government.
Lastly, I noticed she made a lot of references to "craving" and "hunger".

I am tired of all the brainless numbnuts, that don't have anything better to do then pick you a part like a buzzard picks his prey! I'm tired of Sarah glasses, and now they look at your shoes? What the hell, i'm 52, male and married in the great state of Michigan, you will win, and you and John will get this country back to where it should be--make no mistake--biden-and obama can't get past their back talk, and flip-flop, and flimsy views, they get caught in their own lies, but will never fess up to it--it's the left way of saying to the people--we will lie-cheat-and do what we have to do to win the White House, i watch and listen-a lot--you -Sarah- are real, and you will win in the end! God bless you and your family-and John Mcain and his family- take it to the top lady!

Your i-pod gone! your fucking stupid blackberry--gone with the wind! You will worship him--and he will bring so called peace to the USA-until he turns on you like a snake thats hungry- Find a good flak jacket young'uns, you all are to sissyfied to stand up for the USA--Never ask the soldier that lost his or her leg to help you--you are on your own!!! Do what they did--you will be a coward, and snivel in the corner while the stench of death smells like one of your friends--Happy Happy Joy Joy-- think! All the best to you!

Take it easy Tom, dont bust a blood vessel in your head. Christ
what a fruitcake.

Sarah,
Probably with all the newspaper reading you have to do now, you don't have time to keep up with Fox Fair and Balanced shows. But you'll be glad to know that this morning they had a segment on your ruby-red high-heel pumps. Megan even compared them with the ones that Dorothy wore in the Wizard of Oz! Fox knows that we want to know all about you, not just about knowledge of world affairs. My wife wants to know where you get your shoes. She looked in Wal-Mart but couldn't find any quite as pretty as yours.
I hope Todd will forgive me, but everytime you winked at me last night my heart skipped a beat.
