Palin Didn't do So Badly + Fox News Commentary =Palin Did Fantastic

Hopefully I don't start rambling here. So my main compadre and I watch the debate. I couldn't believe she really wanted to watch it, but she did and it was genuine and I was pretty happy about that. She never got up and said she'll just listen as she browses the internet or anything like that. I think part of the reason she wanted to see the debate is because women like to see women they hate humiliate themselves in public. She'd seen interview clips here and there and wanted to see verbal vomit come out of her mouth live. There may have been some spit-up of the kind that infants do when they aren't on solid foods yet,(is this post disgusting enough yet?) but (oh well guess this is going to be a long post)there weren't any acutely uncomfortable moments. She talked around in circles only a 5-10 times and not Couric interview type badly. She definitely could have worked more on transitions so it didn't seem as obvious that she didn't (couldn't) answer the question given to her so she could talk about energy. So all in all it was a boring debate and before the families got trotted out there we switched to the ball game to find a pleasant surprise waiting for us on tbs.

I think my better half explains her antipathy for Palin best with the diatribe that I'll try to paraphrase, 'She's like the Veep version of the Barbie Doll. She's decent looking but she's hollow.' She's that popular, pretty girl in high school that was empty headed and got by on her looks, so most all the girls hated her.'

This dovetails very well with the Time.com article by Belinda Luscombe that attempts to explain all the Palin hate by women. You should give it a read. If anything it's pretty funny.
