VP debate
 

Alright, comments away!

Re: VP debate
 

Palin was very articulate in that first response on the bail-out.

Re: VP debate
 

you betcha!
maverick
politics as usual

glug glug glug....

Re: VP debate
 

I'm already sick of her darn tootin', Joe six-pack folksyness.

Re: VP debate
 

She's coming across well, but far too rehearsed in her responses for my liking... and she won't take her eyes off the camera.

Re: VP debate
 

At least she's looking at him. That's a plus over the head of her ticket.

Re: VP debate
 

Yep, she's clearly been told to that! ;)

Biden's giving a good defence of Obama's deregulation.

Re: VP debate
 

The Palins are middle-class? Don't their assets total $1 million.

Re: VP debate
 

Oooo, good point on the $1000 oil windfall profit refund and tying it with what she did in Alaska.

Re: VP debate
 

She's much more slick tonight, albeit with cutesy folksiness, but it's really bugging me the way she's sticking so hard to her own talking points rather than answering the question.

She starts every answer with "I wanna talk about...."

Maybe wise from her point of view.

Re: VP debate
 

i just started watching. has she been rambling all this time?

Re: VP debate
 

"Drill, baby. Drill!"

Oh please, Sarah....

Re: VP debate
 

They both had a nice moment of agreement there - emphatically, neither supports gay marriage. Smiles all around.

Hurrah!

Re: VP debate
 

when will someone mention Petreaus's recent quote about "there is no victory in this war".

Re: VP debate
 

I think Joe may need to take a breather.

Re: VP debate
 

nucular heh

Re: VP debate
 

palin sounds much much better than usual, but her 180s are too obvious

GOP-style diversions arent very roundabout, but they are at least more slick about dodging questions. palin's not even bothering, because she's rehearsed this debate to death, and anything they havent covered she outright says "i dont wanna talk about that, i want to talk about the energy policy that i didnt have time to say before"

so far it's her only big slip up, but it's kind of a big one that i hope gets attention later on.

biden's doing really well. probably needs to smile less

i'm sensing some unraveling on palin, she had one rambly answer and another that threatened to become one...?

Re: VP debate
 

nucular "eye"-ran! lol!

Re: VP debate
 

Someone tell the Dems to lay off the Spain gaffe please!

Re: VP debate
 

I find myself despising her foreign policy views.

Re: VP debate
 

it's not hers.

Re: VP debate
 

Facts are truly spilling out of Biden at an alarming rate tonight. I hope he's got them all right and doesn't get too "fact-checked" in the coming couple of days.

Re: VP debate
 

Her foreign policy involves seeing Russia from her state.

Re: VP debate
 

good point. :)

Re: VP debate
 

i'm so sick of the surge.

Re: VP debate
 

"too much fingerpointing and blame and ugh you know accountability is like so 5 minutes ago"

are we noticing a trend of covering up a complete ignorance of history and causation by saying "oh we need to look ahead and use that maverick pluckiness to do something!
and not, you know. notice that voting for the same republican party that accelerated 6 different kinds of mess is a little CRAZY"

bleh

Re: VP debate
 

Palin just seems rushed to me. She's not handling the time limit very well.

Re: VP debate
 

candidates never handle their time well.

Re: VP debate
 

Yes.

But it will fool some of the people some of the time.

Re: VP debate
 

Biden should say that we started the war in Afghanistan before Iraq, and that war STILL hasnt ended.

Re: VP debate
 

Biden is handling ten times better than Palin.

Re: VP debate
 

Dangerous territory getting into the "for it before I was against it" argument with Iraq, Governor. I see the Bridge to Nowhere being slapped across your face in your near future.

Re: VP debate
 

I'm really getting the impression that Biden truly believes in what he's arguing, whereas Palin is just delivering someone else's speeches, but cutesifying them.

Re: VP debate
 

Biden should ask Palin what war McCain has won.

Re: VP debate
 

The heartbeat away from the presidency question - excellent. Biden is looking and sounding presidential and trustworthy.

Re: VP debate
 

How does John McCain know how to win a war again? We lost in Vietnam where he was locked away for five years.

Re: VP debate
 

PALIN STOP TRYING TO BE CUTE AND BE FUCKING PRESIDENTIAL!!!

Re: VP debate
 

she sounds more like a news anchor.

Re: VP debate
 

She sounds like a kindergarten teacher.

Re: VP debate
 

runaround answer. god.
