The prognosticators and the pollsters have done their best to give Joe Biden the victory in last night's vice presidential debate.
All their blizzard of data and spin proclaimed the Biden victory, but two things stand out that really matter: this debate was watched by about the twice the audience the first presidential debate was, and secondly, most viewers were spectators, not intellectual tit-for-tat fact checkers.
On this basis that John Q. Public (and Joe Six Pack) used to score the debate, Sarah Palin came across as a nice person they could relate to, with incredible charisma, warmth and charm. Joe Biden was the archtypical 36-year Washington hand, all wrapped up in himself, facts and figures--blustering on, but seemed terribly "old politics" and "old school." The world has changed in the internet age.
Political decisions are made in that narrow window when the public is actually paying attention and focusing on the matters at hand. And with early voting procedures now days, many were filling out their mail-in ballots as they watched the debate.
John McCain would be an idiot not to use Sarah Palin in a different way in the campaign now, than he has in the last two weeks. She has recaptured the magic from her GOP national convention speech, and never has stopped drawing incredible crowds where ever she appears.
Sarah Palin has turned things around for the Republican ticket once already, and now has done so again
Pay attention!
