A Bronx Cheer for a Cheerleader

I watched the vice president's debate the other night and came away with this thought: I do not know which debate the Conservatives who gave Sarah Palin rave reviews were watching. After all she was debating to prove that she and John McCain could do the job of making our economy stronger and changing the Washington work ethic. She did nothing to allay my fears about either, because she never explained what her plans to do so were. I could definitely agree with her about changing the tone in Washington. We need to get rid of some Democrats along with some Republicans. I would also have liked to hear an explanation about how we get rid of the Lobbyist power structure. At least Joe Biden gave some figures about the votes of John McCain that can be fact-checked. Palin said little "wrong" because she said so little.

What I finally decided is that Sarah wins hand down on perkiness? Which reminds me of the famous line in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," when Lou Grant says to Mary, "You are perky. But I don't like perky."

The economy is more important than perkiness.

Sarah's smiling and winking led me to the conclusion that if we need a cheerleader for our country, I would
definitely hire her. She should apply for the job of National Cheerleader.

Tonight we'll see a real cheer leader. Obama is a cheer leader for the people. I'm looking forward to a big win for him.
