I watched the CNN coverage of the debate last night. They had a focus group giving their reactions both during and after the debate.
Soledad O’Brien asked the focus group, a group of self-identified undecided (but swayable) voters, which of them had made a decision after watching this debate. Several hands were raised. When she narrowed it down a bit, there was only one person who had decided to vote for
McCain after hearing this debate. She identified herself as a Republican. Here is her answer:
Soledad: What did you hear in this debate that makes you sway toward McCain now?
Focus Group Participant: I think Sarah Palin was able to regain…ah…regain that, that she is a real person, and that she knows what she’s gonna be doing, and I think she’s able to restore the confidence in th… McCain’s choice as being her Vice President.
There you have it ladies and gentleman.
