Post-Debate Reax

Joe Biden lied 14 times during the debate, according to the McCain campaign.

Joe Biden gets the Constitution WRONG.

The New York Daily News says “Palin scores.”

David Brooks of the New York Times called last night The Palin Rebound.

CNN’s Alex Castellanos said, “[W]hen you look at Sarah Palin, you saw America, you saw outsiders, you saw Main Street, not Wall Street. The Republican brand needed to see that tonight and they got it.”

Fred Barnes pinpoints the moment Sarah Palin knew she was winning the debate.

Democratic Strategist Paul Begala said, “Sarah Palin’s strategy was to defend Sarah Palin and repair her damaged image and I think she did pretty good job of that.”

CNBC’s Larry Kudlow said, “I think she’s going to be the clear winner in this, and oddly enough, it’s directly symmetrical to what happened with McCain and Obama. In this case, she held her ground. She was informed and she was strong. … And I’ll tell you what, she made very strong distinctions on energy drilling for lower prices and lower taxes not higher.”

NPR’s Michelle Norris said Paln “delivered a performance that filled in the resume and also helped people perhaps connect to her on a very visceral level.”

From Frank Luntz’s focus group: “I think she just spoke to the people, the American people. She was direct.”

Biden’s Iran Blunder.

Joe Biden, in context, on clean coal: “We’re not supporting ‘clean coal.’ […] No coal plants here in America. Build them, if they’re going to build them over there make ’em clean because they’re killing you.”

My friend Rob Willington, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Republican Party reports on Twitter: “MassGOP is getting bombarded with McCain PALIN yard sign requests after last nights home run performance.”

More as the day rolls on.
