Give me a break…you GOP supporters, did you see the Couric interview? I actually felt sorry for her. She can’t even name a Newspaper she reads off the cuff. Biden may have been dry but at least he actually stated policies instead of just spouting off index cards. Does she have an original thought? Or will she “send ‘em later, folks.” Palin did better than I thought, I will give her that. But because she didn’t totally ***k up, her supporters think she won the debate, yah no trainwreck so she is obviously a winner? WTF? What about the issues? Her actual own ideas?

Biden is the winner…..and it wasn’t even close. I guess that makes Sarah 1st runner up (again)

Obama/Biden ‘08

I fully expected the next words from sarah’s mouth were gonna be “Palin wanna cracker ” she reminded me of a parrot,after the election fully expect her to dissapear as suddenly as she came.

This sounds brutal but she is simply just not an intelligent person. At this point I can’t take anything she says seriously. McCain would have been WAY more potent with Tom Ridge or even Joe Liebermann, but he rolled the dice with a gimmick pick who is looking very foolish these days. I truly feel sorry for her in being thrown into a position that she has no business being in. For me tonight was the visible separation where the race really starts to separate in Obama’s favor. Its all but over now people.

Gee, thanks Tim Hogan, we didn’t know you didn’t like Palin or Republicans until now.

So what if she wears $3,000 suits and her family is comfortable???
Why are you so jealous???

And Watcher, while you are criticizing Palin for her answers, how about Biden’s answer to “how would your Presidency be different?” He said it would be the same as Obama’s.

He didn’t answer the question.

Nevertheless, both presented their side well.

Fact is, Palin kept McCain in the race. It’s now up to him.

If I hear another Republican say nucular I’m going to scream. I swear they do it on purpose. They are simply trying to get the vote of the undereducated and ignorant in the country. Sarah even struggled to say it that way a couple of times. she kind of flipped and flopped. sometimes sounding like nuclear and most times sounding like nucular. It has become a republican code word almost. It’s embarrassing watching supposedly educated people screwing up such an important word.

THE REAL QUESTION: PAST PERFORMANCE IS A PREDICTOR OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. We can clearly see what we will get by looking at each candidates past. Voters will vote on their hot button. For some it is a warm and fuzzy fealing, others it is a single issue at the cost of all others. The informed will make a decision based on many issues and past performance.

I was amazed that Palin did as well as she did. She was obviously well-rehearsed. But her answers didn’t necessarily reflect the question asked. And when–early on–she brazenly told the moderator that she wouldn’t directly answer every question asked, I thought she was either extremely arrogant or pre-emptively covering her posterior. Either way, not good. I am also annoyed by her “warm folksy” approach. Some people carry that approach off very well. But it doesn’t work for someone who basically comes across being as cold and calculating as a cobra.

Biden avoided his main pitfall, overrun of the mouth. By keeping his answers short and to the point, he scored big time. He definitely came across as well-informed and experienced. I give the debate “win” to Biden.

I agree that her folksy attitude was insulting. My good friends are hockey moms, but they’re not qualified to be president either.

If pandering, style and overused catchphrases are what a debate is judged on then Palin will be the greatest Republican Vice-President since Quayle.
