Right near the end Palin said something like "I'm done talking to the mainstream media just so they can interpret to you what you just saw". Very patronizing, like we're all third graders who need the media to tell us about her lack of depth on matters of policy and world affairs. That's been blatantly obvious except to the Limbaugh Lemmings who claim that fair questions in an unscripted setting are "picking on her".
In all, Biden wasn't perfect but he did what he should have by focusing on McCain. Palin usually took about half a sentence to swerve off topic and begin recycling one of the four or five rehearsed talking points in a differently ordered set of words and slogans, irregardless of the question. It was like watching a campaign commercial over and over.
Unfortunately, repetition of empty, hyperbolic slogans coupled with smarty-pants head shaking sarcasm peppered with slangy 'darned'/'you betcha' etc. and a smug "gosh you're stupid" expression is what passes for qualification and knowledge among the "Joe Six Pack" crowd that she aims to please, and which forms, along with the top 1%, the 'base' of today's GOP.
