A few people have e-mailed to say that the livestream in Ed’s open thread complicates comment discussion by slowing refresh times, so here’s a no-frills alternative. Take your pick.
While we wait for the main event, “enjoy” the last installment in her series with Couric. They saved a doozy for the finale.
Game face!

BTW, that’s like the fourth time he’s messed up Obama’s name.
amerpundit on October 2, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Biden:Doom and Gloom!
Sarah: I’m proud of America.
Nelsa on October 2, 2008 at 10:32 PM
She got stronger as the night went on!!
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Sarhacuda wins in a landslide!!!!!
custer on October 2, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Stand up Champ! Oh God love ya…
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I missed that one. What’d she say?
Jaibones on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Joe Biden needs to get back up after tonight!
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Vote on Drudge!!!!
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
My God, Sarah is amazing. I always believed she was excellent, but this was an outstanding performance. She just hit it out of the park with her closing statements. Positive. Patriotic. Honest. Sincere.
Stark contrast with the leftists.
Joe, your side is working to enslave us all. And we all know it.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
deep hole? he and obama don’t seem none the worse for wear.
no mortgages to deadbeats.
save up for your kid’s college, or tell them to get a job.
the left is all about image, not success. just like today’s youth.
ah, the “God Bless” line. the left has be reassure itself.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
*irf*
Sincerity is not Joe’s forte.
yo on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
The “God protect our troops” sounded trite by Biden. Won’t sell.
Tommygun on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Time to take the “Flip the ticket!” signs back out of the closet.
econavenger on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
She did great, better than I and probably most people expected. Not sure she won big, or how the MSM will spin it, but it was definitely a moral victory. She certainly had more memorable lines.
Way past my bedtime. Keep having fun guys!
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
If you wanted to protect the truths, you wouldn’t screwed around on funding for them.
Blake on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Exactly. The motives are what is behind the problem; behind the absolute inability for Congress to get anything done and it has nevver been more apparent than during the past 2 years under Pelosi and Reid.
Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Hey Joe, how much for this used car?????
PaCadle on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Palin held help better then a lot of pundits and people thought she would. Can’t wait to see what the poll’s and pundit’s say now.
Chimpy on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Down goes Biden, down goes Biden, down goes Biden!
El_Terrible on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Hey P-Diddy… You can come out from under the covers now.
Tzetzes on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
She did any outstanding job
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Did he say “selfishly” be with the troops? WTF. We’re the good guys.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
OUTRAGE! Biden invoked God for protection over the troops! What outragious Alaskan religion is this?!
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I liked Joe’s “tearful moment”.
GarandFan on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
man her closing statement was all over the place.
crr6 on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
That’s okay – because she sounds hopeful, positive, and full of American pride.
He keeps talking about getting knocked down and having to get up, and climbing out of a hole.
Who would you rather follow?
capitalist piglet on October 2, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I can’t wait to see how this gets spinned into a Palin loss…gonna be entertaining, that.
Bob's Kid on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
great job by sarah
joe was better than I thought, although he told a couple of whoppers about Mac.
MAC, its up to you boss, your #2 has done everything she can for you
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
It was a quick “Im glad the MSM isnt here to tell you what I said” sort of thing.
gator70 on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
i love her. i love how you can hear what she says since she’s miked. she’s awesomeness. and ifill did alright.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
“Dad and Mom, y’all wanna come up? Come on!”
I love her.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I thought the presidential debate was a wash and kinda boring, but That wasn’t really a close call. Palin did very well.
forest on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
It’s like the end of Family Feud.
yo on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I missed it?!?!
WHat did she say about the MSM?
unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
The botox was a bad idea..backfired for Kerry too
clnurnberg on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
LOL @ Gwen Ifill stranded at the desk.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Their mics are still on during the on stage thank yous? That’s really not necessary, is it?
Ordinary1 on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
lET THE SPIN THE BEGIN!!
theeyeman3410 on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
truths = troops
Blake on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
She was terrific!!!!!!
I was so afraid to watch and I didn’t hear most of Biden’s because I had to see a football game. But heard most of her comments.
Bambi on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I am waiting for the One to appear, make Aw-fil walk, and raise Christopher Reeve from the dead. That man can go anything.
cyclown on October 2, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Screw the pundits – Sarah beat him. She beat him.
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
And why did Biden say we need to get back up?
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Palin: A+
Biden: C+
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
It was amazing how different they were. She’s positive, positive, positive…and he’s negative, negative, negative.
Hehe… to Gwen, “Bless your heart.”
tickleddragon on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Yeah yeah yeah.
C’mon Manly, can’t we revel just a moment?
JonPrichard on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Was that Mel Brooks?
SoulGlo on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
You stay classy, debate organizers. Nice job leaving Palin’s mic on after the debate.
alflauren on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Biden, five minutes after the debate: “S***, I can’t believe I lost to that b****!”
newton on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Bless your heart, Gwen…
Tzetzes on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
OK, before the polls and spin come out, we know what we saw. Palin dominated this night, from start to finish. She had zingers, jokes, and appealed to Americans. Biden droned on and on and looked like an ass.
El_Terrible on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Sooo…who won? Both had gaffes, but who really won this?
lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
What the he11 did he just say about Cheney?!?! He just spent a minute describing him as the worst monster ever to climb out of a scum pit. What a buffoon.
Django on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
And who would you rather LOOK AT the next 4 or 8 years? Botox Joe or Sassy Sarah?
Elizabetty on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Governor Sarah Palin won.
Hands down.
Talon on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I love Sarah :). Why are we wasting her on this hopeless election?
Illinidiva on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I’d love to have an ear on that convo.
baldilocks on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
cyclown on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
It can’t be. If anything, she came out with a slight edge. Everything about Sarah was forward-looking. Everything with Biden was blaming.
Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Why does he keep touching her? Sexual harassment!
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Mort…ewww
CinnamongirlUF on October 2, 2008 at 10:35 PM
WTF? Kondracke liking Palin?
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Grand freakin slam.
Dr. Conservative on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
That kicked ass. I feel like my team just won the SuperBowl. Palinmania!
Say you liked it KP :)
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Biden did not display command of issues. His explanation of Obama’s stance on Pakisan was a disaster among other head scratchers.
And what’s a Bosniac?
forest on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
That Biden crying moment was a real classic.
progressoverpeace on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
she was great I love this woman.
Gracelynn on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Oh, she just rocks.
Please America, let her be our VP!
eucher on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Only an idiot leftist, like you, would believe that. Scared much, are you? You should be.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
No.
ManlyRash on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Ok. Now when does the debate between Palen and Obama take place? Hehe. She’d blow him away.
Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Palin wins, Parker lost.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
This woman comes through in the clutch. Mort just said she won.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Yes! Yes! Ifill cut Palin off at least once, and allowed Biden to go on and on.
4shoes on October 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Cool. I’ll say…
Palin: A-
Biden: B
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Wow — even Kondrake says she did very well!
CanuckInPA on October 2, 2008 at 10:37 PM
I noticed Biden got pretty much two closing statements, once again got the last word (as he did pretty much every other, including first words), and then lied AGAIN in his closing statement to boot.
And he still lost.
amkun on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Kondrake gave her the edge.
Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
I’m extremely happy too, Mr. Kristol.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
KP: She didn’t make any gaffes.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Totally agreed, but the contortions of those trying to make it a loss for her will be what’s entertaining. Like watching a circus.
Bob's Kid on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
ahem… what did she say about the MSM?
unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Game over, man. Game over.
Palin is the new rock star of American Politics.
Obama is so yesterday.
VolMagic on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Vote Hottie…Not Snotty.
McCain/Palin ‘08
uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Biden finished strong, but Palin had the win locked up half way through this thng barring any gaffe.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
I’m signing off and not watching Fox. I can’t stand KP.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
There’s Joe Bidens family. Will the Hollywood crowd attack and destroy his family members by name tomorrow?
econavenger on October 2, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Even KP couldn’t criticize her much.
amerpundit on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Palin A
Biden I
Benjamin9 on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
LOL! Love it.
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Anyone watching PMSNBC?
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
i wanna see frank luntz’s dials.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I didn’t drink, and she won! Whoo-hoo! I am so happy!
Dudley Smith on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Huffington must be crying.
Connie on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
He lost his family, it was a truthful moment, let it be.
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Gee I remember during the Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings the motives of these fine nominees were certainly questioned viciously by Biden, Kennedy and other democrats on the Judiciary Committee. Another Biden whopper. And I am sure that Biden had harsh words for Sen. Jesse Helms throughout the eighties. It will be a little research project but I am sure some Bidden nuggets will turn up from lexisnexis.
eaglewingz08 on October 2, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I’ve got Palin FEVAAHH again!
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I’m glad to hear KP loving on Palin again.
Crazy. Hume + Cavuto + KP the 3 reasons to watch Fox.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 10:40 PM
And tomorrow we need the factcheck.org rundown on all biden’s lies.
Tremble in fear, leftists. America got a straight, unfiltered message and they’re going to respond positively and enthusiastically to that.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Jill Biden couldn’t even make small talk with Sarah Palin
