I think Sarah Palin held her own for the first 20 minutes but otherwise I think she got soundly beaten. The early punditry is seemingly giving her more credit than I am. I love an upset at any cost but I don't think Sarah Palin represents that. Mostly though, I am just thankful to be an American in Austin, Tx., with Bernadette, and Jose, on road trips to that which is available around here, some exceptional scenery (as pictured), and barbecue to die for (and if I ate all the best of it available here, I would surely do just that.)
