David Brooks does such a better job when he is at a "round table" with Jim Lehrer and Mark Scheels. The setting is not one sided and credit is give where credit is due no matter the party. The short program is actually informative and interesting.

The Mother of VP Debates

Okay, maybe the title is a bit of a stretch. After spending most of the day in various forums and reading the news from..I don't remember exactly...it seems we are back to the polarization unseen since the Democrat primaries of 2008.

Sarah Palin keeps going back to George Bush

Watching last night's debate, I drew one clear conclusion: Sarah Palin is the female George Bush. She did during the debate exactly what Bush did to attract the voters who helped him win the 2000 election.

What are Your Favorite WTF Moments from the VP Debate

Overall, I would say that Palin delivers the pre-rehearsed package much better than McCain, and Biden stammers. However, when she said that she wasn't going "to answer the questions the way she was supposed to," (paraphrase) I was taken aback and said WTF.

The VP Debate - no game changer

I think overall it was mostly a draw as far as the goals for the evening for each campaign... it shored up support for both bases. Biden was reassuring and gracious and did nothing to hurt Obama, and Sarah relieved some nervous nellies on the right. It comes down to tactics vs.

Bushwhacked! (Poll)

Here I was, popcorn in hand, expecting Sarah Palin to make a total fool of herself in the VP debate. Boy, was I wrong. Its not that she didn't avoided questions ... she did. It's not that she couldn't actually separate McCain from Bush ... she didn't.

Palin Shows Charm and Poise in Debate - But Message to Voters is Still the Same

From the beginning of the debate, Sarah Palin presented herself well right up until the closing. In some ways it was like watching a beauty pageant contestant giving her memorized views of the world.
