Were there any surprises? Tell us what you considered to be the highlights, the low points and everything in between.

I'm not going to discuss this with you since you obviously aren't listening to what I said.
"Fundamental" too many times? Did you even COUNT how many times Palin said "also?" Honestly, I think she said it more than "McCain."
Google the text of the debate, and search on "fundamental," then go back to the top and search on "also."
You're absolutely right.
Exactly.
Sitting around the Pizza Hut with the other hockey moms after a game is the place for "folksy" language, not during your one and only chance to have a debate with the opposing candidate for the second-highest office in the nation. Yakking in the narthex after worship service on Sunday at the Wasilla Bible Church is the place for "folksy" speech, not during a debate for the Vice-Presidency of the United States.
Haven't we had enough of a leader who "charmed" us with his "folksy" speech patterns and "have-a-beer-with-ability" (despite the fact that he's a teetotalling alcoholic, LOL)? And, fer Chrissaskes, have we not had MORE than enough, after eight freaking years, of someone who pronounces the freaking word "nook-yoo-lar?"
the guest thing was explained by the cm in the very first post ....
it's a talk box on the main page
yup - as in most all debates notes are taken while the other person speaks for rebuttal purposes.
