Debate II, also

I watched the debate with about 20 hard-core Dems last night who were revved up when Biden was deftly attacking McCain. Good stuff. We had a min-discussion of our own about Palin's use of the word "also."

My humble opinion is that the word is a verbal crutch for her. "Also" in the context that Palin uses it, reflects her intellectual incapacity to relate the initial verbal argument to the argument for which "also" refers.

Others thought it sounded like a tick, something she is saying as talking points come to her at the last minute.

One thing we all agreed on. Never had we heard the word so mis-used by anyone under any circumstances. It was awful.
