Well after having watched the debate and the commentary given by both sides after the debate I would have to say that it was a tie. No clear winner, nobady got bested or had their a$$ handed to them. It was McCain's to win and he did not. As for Palin, it isn't too late for McCain to come to his senses and have her withdraw. She is clueless and her absence from the press proves it. She is to be trotted out on ocassion and given softball interviews which she can't handle. "I'll go find some and bring them back to ya. O.K.?" what the hell kind of answer is that? I can't imagine this woman being president, ever. If you can by all means vote for McCain.
