#1 Getting inside Joe's OODA loop is boring and not fun.

#2 Personally, I thought Palin ate Biden's lunch. Eat your heart out Katie Couric, you wanne be and has been TV talking head.

#3 I'm wondering if Katie wasn't used as a set up to lower expectations, though I think it more likely that consultants were trying to make a new and improved Palin and that they backed off after they saw the results.

#4 Questioning Palin on Supreme Court decisions was a set-up by elitest and arrogant liberal lawyers. The average person would also draw a blank on legal decisions, but, after having time to reflect, Palin should get back to Couric on affirmative action and eminent domain.

#5 If the question were turned around and Katie Couric were asked about a significant SCOTUS decision, she wouldn't have a clue. Most people would not. It was a lawyer set-up question provided to Couric. Unfortunately, I don't think the McCain campaign is organized enough to plan such a thing to lower expectations--it was just serendipity.

It seems like Sarah really connected with people who vote. The Drudge on-line poll of over 500,000 people indicated 70% went for Palin over Biden. These people can't all be Conservative Republicans who are voting.

#6 Kelo v. New London would have been a good answer, but other than being "an" answer to most CBS news viewers, I don't know what impact that would have had.

Yeah, I was under the impression Drudge and its readers were mostly just left of center. The fact McCain won on their poll and now Palin tells me that the independent voters are trending toward them.
