How we will know Sarah Palin won the debate?

When by Saturday morning the event is no longer discussed by cable TV and print wire services.

I think there is a huge sense of disappointment in the media, They were convinced that they had a train wreck waiting to happen, and much to their dismay, both trains made it to the station.

I have to say this was about the best Joe Biden I've seen, but he's still trying to peddle the "poor boy from nothing "line to steal Sarah's thunder. I could go on and on about Biden's mansion, his lobbyist son, his MBNA deals, but maybe we ought just look at where he went to high school.

From 1910 until 1931, Archmere was the beautiful country estate of John J. Raskob, his wife, Helena Springer Green, and their 12 children. Chairman of the Board of General Motors and Vice President in charge of finance for the DuPont Company, Raskob was recognized as one of the most successful and influential financiers of his time.

Between 1916 and 1918, the Raskobs had constructed on their 48 acre property an elaborate home, The Patio, a fine example of Italianate, Renaissance architecture, and Manor Hall, a servants' quarters. While the Raskobs lived at Archmere, the house was alive with activity. During the presidential campaign of 1928, Archmere was the scene of many meetings of the Democratic National Committee. Raskob was campaign manager for the party's presidential nominee, Governor Al Smith of New York.

The history of Archmere as a college preparatory school began in the spring of 1932 when Bernard Pennings, Abbot of the Norbertine Order, made what must at the time have seemed a risky decision to purchase the Raskobs' Delaware River Estate for $300,000....

Archmere's mascot, the Great Auk, frequently compared to a large penguin by neighboring schools, is the only known one of its kind in the United States.

OK, all you folks out there who went to a snooty prep school with the "Great Auk" as a mascot, get down to Home Depot and start campaigning for Biden!
