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.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden will share the same Washington University (St Louis) stage in a vice presidential debate at 9 PM Eastern

Will Sarah Palin go on the attack against Joe Biden?

The Politico says yes and reveals the Palin  playbook.

This is all CW stuff but two interesting facts on the run up to tonight’s debate.

• Sarah Palin’s parents will be in the St Louis audience
• Palin will be sporting a bandage on her right hand from falling while jogging on Monday.

Flap will be covering the debate and micro-blogging via Twitter in the right sidebar ————>

Sarah Palin in an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric repeats an apparent age swipe at her rival Senator Slow Joe Biden.

Gov. Palin at Monday’s event in Columbus, OH:   I do look forward to Thursday night and debating Senator Joe Biden. We are going to talk about those new ideas, new energy for America. I’m looking forward to meet him too. I’ve never met him before. But, I’ve been hearing about his senate speeches since I was in like 2nd grade.

Katie Couric: You made a funny comment, you’ve said you have been listening to Joe Biden’s speeches since you were in second grade.

Gov. Palin: It’s been since like ‘72, yah.

Katie Couric: You have a 72-year-old running mate, is that kind of a risky thing to say, insinuating that Joe Biden’s been around awhile?

Gov. Palin: Oh no, it’s nothing negative at all. He’s got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we’ve been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he’s got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I’m the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he’s got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years.

Alaska Governor is a fresh face and has been working in a world far different than any of the other candidates for President or Vice President. She offers a different perspective on life, family and politics.

Joe Biden who plagiarized his way through law school and his first run for the Presidency has been in public office far longer than even John McCain. Biden has been a Democrat politician his entire career.

American voters will decide if they want the experience of John McCain and the fresh perspective of Sarah Palin or the same old Democratic politics with Obama-Biden.

The choice cannot be more clear.

Bruce Elliott, whose wife owns the Old Town Ale House, painted this nude portrait of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. He said his daughter, who does a good impression of the Alaska governor, served as model. (Kuni Takahashi, Chicago Tribune / September 29, 2008)

Good Grief! The Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome continues with this obviously sexist piece at the left-wing homer newspaper for Barack Obama.

Does anyone think treatment like this of say, Hillary Clinton, would appear in ANY newspaper?

UH, NO……

Here was Joe Biden’s reaction when asked about the nude portrait:
