		<description>the GOP wouldn&#039;t dare schedule any more unscripted air time for Palin, this would give people more time to realize that she&#039;s totally clueless... the prospect of her becoming the Commander in Chief is frightening</description>

DRUDGE REPORT POLL = PALIN TOP WINNER
By J. Grant Swank, Jr.
MichNews.com
Oct 2, 2008

At 11:41 PM this Thursday evening, Drudge Report poll of the Vice Presidential Debate shows Palin way out in front as the winner.

With 144,663 voting, Biden comes through with only 26%, equaling 36,921.

Palin comes way out in front with 73%, equaling 105,075.

“Neither” came out with 2%, equaling 2,667.

Sarah Palin proved her nay-sayers wrong again. She is intelligent, articulate and principled. She is the American woman in her highest standing.

The liberals hate her.  [Which explains this silly article.]</description>

		<description>Thank you for the well-written article, backed up with specifics, facts, and credible sources. Why is it when confronted with intellect and facts rethuglicans can only attack the messenger? Seriously, not one right-wing comment contained any facts to dispute the author&#039;s position. And if you agree with her &quot;white flag&quot; comment, that half the country wants to surrender; you are as out of touch as McSame.</description>

&quot;David Noon, your article is a rant. Not one of your criticisms was backed up with an explanation.&quot; 

This is a self-evident mistake, if not simply a lie. Noon&#039;s criticism that Palin is &quot;somewhat witless&quot; in the third paragraph was backed up by three examples, including links. And if nothing else, Noon&#039;s most substantive criticism of the debate was also well-documented. The final sentence of the fourth paragraph linked to another Web site, which disproves Palin&#039;s assertion about &quot;McClellan,&quot; and mentions what Palin said in the debate about the powers of the vice-president.

Smarter trolls, please.

RS
&quot;I am not familiar with The Minnesota Independent but please tell me this piece is from the opinion page.&quot;

See the word &quot;Commentary&quot; at the top of the Web site?

Mike
&quot;I have noticed that feminists reject Palin. It is amusing that all of these years spent by the “womans movement” advancing the cause of women has actually be spent advancing the cause of liberal woman.&quot;

So what you&#039;re saying is, feminists vote for politicians who agree with them rather than just any politician of their own gender... and that&#039;s bad?</description>

&quot;Hmm, your sour, liberal, and a journalist. Big surprise. Glad that I’m the only one who read your piece.&quot;

Should I bother to point out that it should be &quot;you&#039;re sour&quot;, or would that make your Palinesque brain explode?

Don&#039;t judge readership be those who left commentary: I&#039;m reading this because someone in the Caribbean shot me ( and about 25 other people) this link via e-mail. Just because you&#039;re only hearing from me doesn&#039;t mean that they didn&#039;t read it.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Widely-expected fiasco for Palin?&lt;/i&gt;

No, we already had those. She dug herself a hole so deep that all the newspaper and supreme court cites in the world wouldn&#039;t get her out. And that was hardly against Tim Russert (RIP) or Chris Matthews.

She earned the applause that every figure skater gets at the end of a program, no matter how many times they&#039;ve fallen down.</description>

		<description>VP has always been a &quot;bucket of warm spit&quot;, as one put it. But for all the back-scratching smoke-filled room favor-returning nominations made as VPNom, has anyone been so under

Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins would have appealed to moderates.

Kay Bailey Hutchison has the Texas thing going--you don&#039;t get to be a statewide figure in Texas, as a woman, without some steel in the spine.

If only McCain could have transplanted one of their brains into the body of Sarah Palin. Cos I can&#039;t imagine him picking her without her looks.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And in a presidential horse race that is still neck-and-neck...&lt;/i&gt;

Whaaa?  The last prospective EC count has Obama with almost twice as many electors as McCain.  The latter may do decently in the popular vote, but he will be absolutely crushed where it counts.

Anyway, Palin is governor in a de-facto welfare state, so spare all of us the &#039;conservative&#039; rhetoric.  A lot more honesty and perspective needs to be injected into this whole affair.</description>
