The Joe Biden & Sarah Palin debate
- Thread starter ill-matic
- Start date
^Shut up you panzy.
It's a sad day when Joe Biden's biggest problem in the debate is not beating her, but not beating her too much to the point that he'll be deemed sexist.
It's a thin line to walk, I'd say.
But I don't think Sarah Palin will do bad, honestly. I think she's been coached enough on McCain's ranch these past two days. Plus, if her latest interview with Katie Couric demonstrates anything, it's that Palin is finally learning to be a politican. Answer a question by not answering it.
Homosexuality? Well, I've had a gay friend for over 30 years and she's my best friend, I didn't choose that path but she did and that's fine.
Man-made global warming? Well, there's a hand of god working on this earth but it's possible that people have done damage to the environment.
Should it be illegal for a 15 year old girl who was raped by her father to get an abortion? Well, I'm pro-life and unapologetic. I would counsel the victim to choose life.
FUCKING LAWL.
What magazines and newspapers do you read to establish your worldview and knowledge of foreign affairs? Well, I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
What specifically, can you name one? All of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.
Can you think of ANY supreme court decision that you disagree with? Well, I could think of -- of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with.
By the hand of God, I wouldn't let this woman be on the PTA board of my local high school, let alone be VP.

She may have been a good debater in Alaska (never watched the clips), but I think she is overcoached by the campaign staff so she'll probably fuck something up. Biden will probably fuck something else up too so he has more to lose.
I predict Sean Hannity will say Palin won no matter what the polls say afterwards.

The problem Palin has is that she knows practically nothing about any of the issues that are important on a national level. Not just foreign policy--almost everything.
Did her now infamous answer to the bailout? LOL. She would have been better off saying she doesn't know much about economics, and we've all seen how that's come back to bite McCain in the ass.
All of the Republican advisers got together in a room with her and tried introduce all these conservative economic talking points and why they're supposed to work. She was overwhelmed, and just started spitting out all the small bits she could remember in no coherent order.
Throw in the moderator who's in the tank for Obama, and this is going to be the most interesting clash of personalities I've seen in a debate in a long time.
Palin better screw up big time, or else all of her minor mistakes are going to be blamed on the moderator's bias and Biden's sexism. The conservative media juggernaut will make sure of it.

Oh oh. I think she just made a mistake that we'll be hearing about. She said she'll answer the questions she wants to, not the ones the moderator or Biden asks. In other words, if she doesn't have an answer, she'll give a rehearsed one instead. She tried to pass it off as talking directly to the Amer people.
And Biden has annoying looking eyes.

Not quite. The moderator was pretty decent, wasn't so obviously in the tank for Obama as people were expecting, she did have a moment where she cut off Palin.
Palin did much better than anyone was probably expecting. Not exactly the same person that was shown in the ABCNews and CBSNews interviews. Biden didn't make any historic gaffes. He really did what was needed on him which was not to fuck up.
Drudge report poll
Who Won the VP Debate?
Right now out of over 41,000 votes it is 76% for Palin with over 31,000 votes and 22% for Biden with over 9,000. 2% for neither

Well, doggone it! She's just one of the folks. And millions of American just folks are going to eat that up. Biden had the edge in content but she held her own, esp. when expectations for her were so low. She told some jokes that got some laughs. For a while, though, she looked like a robot reading a teleprompter in her mind, but by the end seemed relaxed and confident.
Biden got a good shot in when he made McCain look bad by praising Palin about her giving money back to Alaskans. But take away points for him repeating himself about McCain saying, "I'm surprised there's a sub-prime crisis." Ok, you said that already.
Like Bush, Palin can't pronounce nuclear, either. And then this: "they hate our freedoms." The Bush Doctrine? Sounded like Bush to me.
But people who originally liked her will continue to will probably say she won this. Obama's side will say Biden won because their ticket has more to offer and he represented it well.

according to www.mediacurves.com , independents swayed more to Biden with 69% thought Biden won while 31% thought Palin won.
Oh and wtf was with Palin's closing remarks? Is freedom going to disappear if Obama wins?
