I refuse to get too wrapped up in the question of who "won" the debate. In general, unless one candidate obviously self-destructs, this question is answered subjectively and personally. That's not to say I didn't think Biden did better. I did.

As the economy collapses and political scandals keep flaring up like bad rashes, where should America turn for answers? What's going to keep us from falling apart? The answer: laughter.

Mrs. Palin can practically see Russia from her house and, in an amazing coincidence, I can practically see the Swiss Embassy from mine.

McCain's scandalous gambit to politicize the nation's economic crisis with still more wild stunts this week sure looks like a last-ditch effort to keep Sarah Palin from being further exposed as a lightweight.

Her performance was so strong and so well focused that it would be foolish not to immediately send her out on the campaign trail and/or to as many television interviews as she can squeeze into her schedule.

Sarah Palin may not have known what the Bush Doctrine was, but we're getting a pretty good idea of what the Palin Doctrine is. And what is it going to look like? Let's just say, it's going to seem familiar.

The notion that there's any serious doubt over the meaning of the Bush Doctrine is as credible as the notion that there is any serious doubt in the scientific community on the basic reality of global warming.

So, seriously, if conservatives want to make this argument -- that John McCain is less worldly and understanding of recent history than Sarah Palin -- well, hey, let them keep making it.

With the GOP's Darth Vader, Karl Rove, as their Shaman and strategic guru, McPalin is trying to convince voters that it is they, not the Democrats, who are the real agents of change.

Wailing about retro Palin's loony views on global warming or creationism will earn nods of approval in the fur-lined traps of Georgetown's elite salons. It will not, however, grab victory on November 4th.

Her grasp of world affairs is so bad, so shallow, so slippery, every foreign service officer deployed overseas should be shaking in their boots.

If Joe Biden had said this on national TV, the election would be over. But if Sarah doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is, well, my goodness, neither do a lot of hardworking, God-fearing hockey moms.
