Sarah Palin sure did wink a lot during the debate.
My question is, why? Was she trying to woo America?
Or is she trying to pull something over on us?
Here's some video:

It's a part of her schtic, like a used car salesperson. It don't work here honey.
She set women back. This was serious business and she dropped the debate to a level of silliness with her stupid winks. Like women have to stoop to their sexuality to get their point across. She makes me sick and i will be glad to when she goes back to mooseville.
Amen to that!
If she goes back! Women like her are very very good at what they do and...they do not like to lose
and most often do not. Work your a..s off for Obama.
Was she just being 'sexist' to herself?
Punce...
With her winking and blowing kisses and other of her facial expressions, I felt that she had slipped into "beauty pageant mode".
I have read on several right wing sites that people though she sounded so "presidential". All I can say is I want some of what they are smoking. It must be really good stuff.
Yeah, those people still think GW is a great president.
W T F The winking she insisted on doing disturbed me greatly. This was not a beauty contest! I do not think you are cute at all. Cause if cute wins veep then I should be queen of the U.S.
Some pundits found this very charming, I found it unprofessional and unbecoming a woman politician.
She is creeeeeeepy.
I know I'm not the only one that had this reaction, but...
Palin creeped me out much like a stereotypically bad used car salesperson does.
So, how many miles on the car? "Miles schmiles..
Who owned the car before or where did you get it? "Hey, what's so important about history anyway. *wink* Just think how good you'll look riding down the road."
I lost my last car to an accident that killed my dog. *sniff* "Yeah whatever..
I think the blue book rates this a little lower. What kind of deal can you negotiate? "You know *wink* I might not answer that question, but this car can go, baby go!" *wink*
I do not want a used car salesperson to wink at me. I do not want a banker to wink at me. I do not want my congressman to wink at me.
And I do NOT want someone who is running for such a vitally important high-ranking, heartbeat from the Presidency, public office to wink at me. Not Palin, not anyone.
She seemed to be trying waaaay too hard to be folksy and chatty. I about fell out of my chair when she tried to play the "Todd and I are a middle class couple trying to get by" routine. 1.2 Million is middle class?
Used car salesperso
Does any republican have the dignity to be embarrassed?
There she was, the candidate hand picked by John McCain to step in at a moment's notice and serve as leader of the free world, COC of the world's most well equipped, highly trained and largest military, to deal with heads of state around the globe... at a time when our country is fighting two wars, our economy has tanked, we are in dept to every other nation to the tune of trillions.
There is an old folksy saying that applies here:
Sarah Palin has been sent for and couldn't go.
Don't you get it?
"Aw Shucks" moments = strategy
Winking = connecting with the audience
Ignoring the question = substitute for lack of knowledge
Cutsie = winning the male vote such as George Stephanopoulos and Sean Hannity
These are the debating techniques our young women will learn from Sarah Palin.
Very, very, sad.
You republicans run around spitting all that jazz about SEXISM and here you have a professional, executive winking at the audience --- can we say Sexual Harrassment.
Seem to me she was winking at someone in the audience!
Elvis only had to move his little finger and women screamed and fainted, but that was The King!
T o d d was backstage, so who was she winking at?
the Palin wink -- was that Tourettes?
I was thinking the same thing! She should get that checked out--there are meds for her condition. Not much anyone can do about the vapidity/stupidity syndrome.
A funny thing happened to me last night while watching the VP debate. Sarah Palin winked at me last night a couple of times, I got all excited!! When I mentioned it (bad move) to my lady she reared back and hit me in the face (still hurts). That six pack joe stuff won't work this time, you cute librarian.
Obama/Biden 08
Palin = cute librarian lol - She does not know the definition of achillies heel LMAO hehehe
PALIN = the best and brightest Alaska has to offer NOT!!
the republicans gene pool has hit rock bottom GW Bush, Sarah Palin, John McCain
not exactly the stuff that the Mensa Society is looking for
Hey, lets give credit where it's due: she won the debate on style.
That folksy language and cute hockey mom demeanor, with the painted on smile and winks to the camera were all a winning combination for those hopeing to transcend substance and boring policy issues and look for a candidate with a "can do" attitude.
Yes, whe managed to stick to her talking points and attack lines despite all the pesky questions that Biden had to answer.
So, for those looking for style over substance, you have found your American Idol.
I would not give her style points on the way she snaped at Sen. Biden "the chant is drill baby drill" this just after attempting to wax eloquently about global warming and pollution
Palin's mean spirited petty response highlighted the disconnection that made me realize this woman is not only poorly educated she's not quite wrapped to tight in the head
Palin said she was not sure about the cause of global warming but admitted there needs to be something done to solve the problem was willing to throw away any leeway she may have made on this issue when she could not restrain herself and in a nasty manner responded to Sen Biden with the retort that "the chant is drill baby drill."
Nope, I disagree.
