Just a quick word about the debate itself...

All the grinning and chuckling and friendliness are part of the 'game' in these debates. Biden was no doubt instructed to pull back from being too hard on Palin, so he wouldn't look condescending or bullying, and Palin was told to smile a lot, use the folksy talk, and stay on script.

Yes, no doubt that her performance went over well in the 'heartland'.

And yes, it disturbs me too.

As for Obama, yes, he deserves every bit of scrutiny, and criticism when warranted.

I wish you would quit trying to paint me into a corner, Jim, by insisting that I'm selling out MY ideals by backing him. My support for him isn't unconditional or starry-eyed. I am backing him because he's the best chance the world has of reversing a decade of neoconservative rape.

Easier to petition and change a Democrat than a Republican. Once the Dems are back in office, the lines of communication with the progressives and the saner world will open up and allow the change YOU want to take root. But under the Republicans, this will not happen.
