A shout out to all my readers and extra credit for reading my insta-debate maverick reaction!

Ziggity Diggity also to the folks at CNN and CBS also for providing insta-polls also showing ordinary voters broke also for Biden as winning the debate. You betcha! Also.

But Doggonit! I was also hoping for a train wreck, yah know? Also.

Change Change Change, change of fools.

Middle class at the soccer field also also also, doanchaknow? Also.

If I heard “maverick” come out of the lipsticked pit bull hockey mom’s mouth just one damn more time, I’d be in the market for a new HD television because the ash tray would have gone right through the screen of the one I have now.

Also, I am very also sure that a whole lot of people also really connected with Gov. Palin, but I feel like Lou Grant: “I hate spunky”. She drove me crazy. Also.

She was scripted, reading from briefing sheets at times, and empty of substance in the main. However, the televised image was attractive and I’m sure that her well modulated stressor and sometimes lower tones and eye widening and winking and nodding must appeal to a lot of people. There were times I honest to God thought she would do a “toss” to the weatherman or look at Sen. Biden and ask for the baseball scores in the playoffs.

In short, she probably passed her test, which improbably was that she simply not have four seconds of silence after a Katie Couric question and then go into gibberish. She did not, however, change the game positively for a campaign that had to shut down its Michigan operation today and move them onto more fertile electoral ground and the time and opportunities for game changing is growing short for Sen. McCain’s currently fading political hopes.

I thought Sen. Biden had the best moment of the night at the very last of the debate when he momentarily choked up talking about raising his family in the wake of a car wreck that killed his wife and daughter, made all the more poignant and effective by the flatness of Gov. Palin’s “maverick” boilerplate response.

She is NOT a blithering idiot. Nor, I must say, is she presidential material — my own personal criteria for this debate was whether I thought she could step in and lead the country on a moment’s notice and there is no question that she could not. She may have a future, I honestly don’t know, but she has no place in high federal government office at this time in my opinion. Also.
