Sarah Palin speaking at GOP post Vice Presidential debate event in St Louis

So, who won the VP debate?

Depends upon how you measure. One early poll gives the nod to Joe Biden but Frank Luntz’s focus group of undecided voters gives an overwhelming win to Sarah Palin.

The proof in the pudding will be the tracking polls within a few days but the conventional wisdom is Sarah Palin helped John McCain and especially herself as a future candidate with a stellar performance tonight.

Here is the video of the Frank Luntz focus group:

Flap will have more in the morning but was extremely pleased with Sarah Palin’s performance this evening.

Apparently Team McCain is pulling out of Michigan and will concede the state to Barack Obama. Remembering that John Kerry won Michigan in 2004 by 3.4 % and Al Gore in 2000 by 5.2%

The latest battleground state polls show McCain-Palin cratering in support.

Is this the beginning of the end?

Probably.

Economic turmoil and McCain’s failure to address the concerns of the American people with regards to the economy have caused this downward spiral. The American electorate are not happy and will punish President Bush and the GOP, as they did in 2006.

Team McCain can turn things around but it will take a dedicated effort and some help.

Jim Geraghty has an update on the BS election fraud going on in Ohio.

Not what Joe Biden MIGHT say but actually WILL say has Democrats sitting on pins and needles prior to tonight’s debate with Sarah Palin.

Flap asked yesterday why the Boston Globe was perpetuating the outright LIES about Sarah Palin and the Wasilla Rape Kit Flap.

The answer is in:

The Boston Globe (owned by the New York Times) is “IN THE BAG” for Barack Obama.

Can you believe an online store of an independent media outlet actually selling this partisan BAG?

What conflict of interest? What BIAS?

Despite John McCain’s weak sauce “Life is not fair” comment, Gwen Ifill should be replaced as tonight’s moderator.

Ifill has a FINANCIAL conflict of interest and what is most disturbing is that she did not see fit to disclose her book deal to the Commission on Presidential Debates.

Ifill said Wednesday that she hasn’t even written her chapter on Obama for the book “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama,” which is to be published by Doubleday on Jan. 20, 2009, the day a new president is inaugurated.

“I’ve got a pretty long track record covering politics and news, so I’m not particularly worried that one-day blog chatter is going to destroy my reputation,” Ifill said. “The proof is in the pudding. They can watch the debate tomorrow night and make their own decisions about whether or not I’ve done my job.”

Dump her….
