I received this flow chart in the mail a few days ago, and I thought it did a solid job of summing up Sarah Palin's debate last Thursday. The only thing that was truly missing is that it was these tactics that allowed Palin to survive the debate. Though there were no Vegas props on this as it would be hard to calculate, my intuition tells me most Americans would bet that she would stumble at least once. Surprisingly, she cleanly finished the debate without doing so even when she was not completely answering questions. However, the turnaround was short when Tina Fey appeared again on Saturday Night Live to make fun of the Alaska Governor. At this point, it is almost as if she has become the character, which only helps her by lowering expectations until the next skit. While McCain is suffering in the polls, the Republicans are probably trying to figure out if Tina Fey could have impersonated Joe Lieberman as well. They probably should have made the intelligent choice instead of the flashy, somewhat desperate one.
In terms of Biden's debate performance. He did not mess up and bashed McCain's record. He won on 5 of 6 CNN scorecards, with the exception of Rollins who may have just thought she looked cute(im still unsure how she posted 44 positives unless he was counting winks).

Palin's complexity in her debate preperation and execution is astonishing. Her true intellect was revealed when under great pressure she still followed the complicated debate flow chart. No average woman could accomplish this amazing feat. Do I hear nobel prize for awesomeness coming? yes I do.
