Palin shows she knows her stuff

As expected, or not if you're a huge Katie Couric fan, Sarah Palin exhibited not only a clear grasp of the issues, including foreign policy, but she showed even the weak-willed so-called conservatives who wanted her to quit that she is extremely competent. When she asked the moderator if there was time for her to comment on Afghanistan, you knew she was totally confident and actually having fun.

As far as Gwen Ifill goes, if she had any conscience at all, she should have immediately withdrawn because of the pro-Obama book she's slated to release on inauguration day. Being the complete NPR left-winger that she is, she not only refused, she didn't bother to even mention it before the debate. Her questions were mediocre at best. But then I forget: Liberals never apologize because they are above reproach and always correct. One question to all the liberals who see Biden as more experienced: Why would you trust someone whose net worth is between $100K-$150K after over 30 years in Congress? Sorry but someone who cannot even manage his own household and is in debt up to his eyebrows is in no way fit to manage our country.
