Well..ONCE again the Left turns out to be their own worst enemy..
There are many ways to guage success in these debates.
One can cite the MANY erroneous statements made by Biden and call THAT a success for Palin..
One can cite Palin’s so called avoidances of certain questions and mark THAT as a negative for her..
As usual..BOTH sides can and inevitably WILL claim that it was THEIR side that won this debate hands down and they will EACH cite the MANY reason why YOU should think so too....
But Here’s the thing..These debates aren’t measured by talking points per se’..Unless there’s an OBVIOUS gaffe or outrageous lie or some other extraordinary point to make the measure of success will boil down to a simple matter of Perception,, or Impression..
It DOESN’T really matter that Palin came off as the winner to those who SIDED with Palin in the First Place and the SAME is EQUALLY true of Biden..
In the end what matters is how these two came across with those who haven’t made up their minds yet..
The Left and their willing partners in the Anti-Palin MSM went ALL out in these last two weeks with their campaign to portray Palin as Down and Out..UNABLE to recover from the Highly edited Interviews with Couric and Gibson…
The Result??
Because of their OVERKILL,, Palin didn’t HAVE to WIN the debate in order to WIN the debate..
She didn’t HAVE to stand toe to toe with Biden and PROVE that she was UP for the task.. But she did EXACTLY THAT and she did FAR FAR more..
The fact of the matter IS that Palin EXCEEDED all MEDIA CREATED expectations of her while Biden merely rose to the level of his and THAT’S a LOSS for Biden..
WE were left to believe that Biden’s Biggest concern was that HE didn’t want to look TOO bad by Beating Up on Palin too much.. Turns out he need NOT have worried himself over that at all..
BECAUSE of the Media Created HYPE over the Obama/Biden ticket,,we have been LED to expect FAR MORE from them and in THAT Both Obama and Biden have FAILED miserably in these debates so far......THEY have come up WAY short of the mark and THUS,,Way Short of expextations.. THAT is the inescapable IMPRESSION..
Palin Proved herself at LEAST the Equal to the hardened Politician with Decades of experience behind him..
And she PROVED that she could BEST him at his OWN game..And she HAD to DO it AGAINST the odds..
It IS Impressions that WIN these debates and Palin has shown herself to be a VERY Impressive adversary after all......
