Reality is that the GOP will probably get a bit of a bounce from this. The fact she made no monumental blunders is seen as a major achievement. Sad but true.

I dunno...I actually thought McCain did better last week

No I think we can all agree that shes well below what we should expect from a VP. BUT with that said I half expected her to melt down during this debate and I think showed an incredible improvement over her last outing on the Couric interview. So the upside is that she has the ability to learn and compose herself in a short period of time. I think Biden obviously 'won' and he came off as gracious, which I half didn't expect either. He also has 35 years on the job.
I think they both came off relatively well.
But you fuckers better clean your spooge off the fucking navigation over there on the left ... cause it's soaked.

she´s not qualified, but the voters don´t care about that. the show she put on was so much better than anything w ever produced. how will conservatives who somehow could bring themselves to elect the bush/cheney horror 2 times not vote for mccain/palin?

Oh one more thing. That 'maverick' thing needs to go. Unless for some reason the 40+ crowd digs it and that's part of their strategy ... I cringe every time she says it.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are mavericks, ya know...you never know what they might do. They might drive on the left side of the road. They might wear their shoes on their hands. They might...help me out here...

maybe obama and the dems should start change by abandoning the wishy-washy talk. he should call out the frauds, the swine (in both parties), and aggresively address the corruption of the political system. including the manipulation of citizens by bullshitting on national TV and the nomination of subhuman frauds for office (liek bush, ventura, palin, edwards).
it´s indecent if he remains silent. just as dishonest as the crap palin just sold the audience. he has every right to get angry and every dumbnut could relate to it.
- yeah but...Obama is winning, dudeukit
- I´d hope so. but, regardless who wins, if he plays the same game, he will be corrupted as well. kinda compromises his agenda.********
- basic agenda.********
- lol @ the Obama white robe rides on stallions and picks his home grown sage tea mentality.tommyo
- there have been decent characters in politics. not unheard of.********

I'm actually breathing a sigh of relief and kind of surprised...I really thought she was gonna try to bring the culture war against Obama...Wright, Ayers, etc. - which would have been hard to defend against.
- That would of required her to think.TheBlueOne
- like she wrote any of those lines? the campaign's strategyukit
- the correct word is strategeryDrBombay

The Great Orange Satan weighs in: " She needed to prove that she could get beyond pre-packaged talking points to demonstrating some capacity for analytical thought. In that regard, she failed.
On the merits, Biden won easy. On the things that debates are scored on, it was a draw."
I'd concur with that analysis.

I still think she did pretty well considering her experience, or lack thereof. She did not go answer the questions deeply enough in my opinion. And again - far less qualified than anyone should be who is vying for that position.
Fuck though I can't stop thinking about how fucking nervous you have to be getting up in front of the world basically. Eesh. I doubt any of you would be able to get up and debate design without seeming like a hack knowing that millions and millions of people were judging your every word. I know I would come off like an ass and I've been doing this stuff for almost 8 years.
