That
her performance was considered anything but a farce doesn't show how
high Palin has risen, but how low we all have sunk.

I intentionally avoided ALL contact with media, the news and the 'real
world' BS from the end of May until early Oct.

When I got back to California was the first time I heard of Palin. I had
never seen or heard her until the VP Debate, although I had heard she had
come across poorly in some interviews. I had NOT seen those interviews.

I watched the debate ( remember MY first exposure to Palin, period ) and was
absolutely appalled at what I saw. If she were running for class president
in a small high school it would have been pathetic, the winking, the fake
cutesy, the blatant avoidance on answering the questions etc. I
literally was embarrassed for her, for McCain, and for my country.

When the post debate pundits announced that she "had performed better than
feared" it was like the Twilight Zone ... being transported to an alternate
universe where things look the same but are actually vastly different.

I honestly can't understand how she can appeal to ANYone .... you, for
instance, Joe Sixpack .... do you LIKE being referred to in such a
condescending, demeaning, way? Does it make you feel you belong in the
Republican Party to be talked down to ... by an idiot?
