OK, I've got the vice presidential debate paused so I can share a few first thoughts.
Right at the beginning, Sarah Palin entered the debate arena, shook hands with Joe Biden, and loudly asked, "Can I call you Joe?" Someone apparently told her to stick with the "just us folks" approach.
She's already used the phrase "hockey moms have to unite."
Did she really use the phrase "never again" in regard to the economic situation we're in right now? Did she *really* want to evoke thoughts of the Holocaust?
She actually said, "darn right!" She's so folksy; I think I'll vote for her, 'cuz she's just like me!
My favorite quote so far, in response to Biden's prompting her for an on-topic response: "I may not answer the questions the way you or the moderator want, but I'm going to talk straight."
UPDATE
She pronounces "nuclear" just like W: "nook-yular." [shiver]
