Palin's first words in the debate

[artabr]

The first words out of Palin's mouth should be.

Gwen, congratulations on the new Obama book, when's it due out?

The moderator for the debate stands to profit in a big way from a Obama election win.
Gwen Ifill has a pro Obama book due out on Inauguration day.

I read somewhere else today that she will no longer be moderating this debate because of that reason.

Sales won't be so hot if Obama looses....

where's penguin ranting about how this is fair?

See the other thread.

Man, why does he keep refering to himself in the 3rd person?! I HATE that!! Oh well, they just lost my vote!

I think Palin is doing pretty good.. Trying to talk to the average citizen and not repeating the same crap..

On the otherhand... Biden is a complete idiot.. I am loving the way he keeps smiling when she makes a good point..

How about when she said.. You yourself said.. Obama is not ready for the oval office.. ... I saw him crap his pants...

Oh NO $hit!!!!

I think she was trained better than she was when she did the Couric interviews, but she had little substantive speak and alot of 'oh golly gee' rhetoric. I mean seriously, how many times can you say 'maverick'...

I thought she just kicked him in the balls for the win with that one.

She did say Maverick alot. Could have been alot worse than that little slip up.

Wait, McCain didn't wear a U.S. Flag during his debate and Palin wore a pin ABOVE her flag pin. Now, I know how the GOP harped on Obama not wearing one, but where do y'all now stand with McCain not wearing one and Palin putting another flag/emblem above the U.S. Flag contrary to the flag code? It was such a huge issue before when Obama failed to wear it, what say y'all now?

 

[artabr]

I wasn't happy with her performance. She seemed real nervous at first, but who wouldn't be. After a while she started doing better.
I do have to agree Penguin (). She sounded hayseed as hell.

Maybe if she was a hardened American like Biden who's Helo was forced down she would be more up to speed on pin placement.
I missed the debate, wish I would have watched it now.
Maverick? Goose?

 

[Swampy]

I agree... I am going to change my vote now.. From McCain who did not wear his american flag pin to the Debate ... To Barak Obama.. WHO HATES WHITE PEOPLE AND AMERICANS IN GENERAL>>>..


OK Penguin... You win...

 

[penguin]

You know penguin, I never thought of that. Im gonna vote for Obama now...

I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. I just thought, you know, since alot of the GOP members made such a big fuss about it here against Obama and that it him not wearing it was so unpatriotic and showed just how un-American he was that that view would be equal across the board. I understand that it isn't and that heroship can be transferred to your running mate. Glad that was cleared up!

 

[Cajun_Chuck]

That is a lot of mavericks.

Overall, I believe they both did well. It could have much better from both, but at the same time, it could have been worse. Better than past VP debates. I don't expect either of them to be flawless, that would be a red flag warning obviously.

Biden has 30+ years of desensitization programed into that brain of his. He was so monotone & trained in his responses. Palin is fresh, young and still naive. She was quirky, almost smart ass in some aspect, but did call Biden out a few times. The one about the past comment (blaming Bush and she stated, hey, I thought you guys were about the future) was pretty clever. I did not like the fact that she was calling him on a first name basis. Call him senator Biden, I believe he at least earned that. She no doubt connects better with the "average" American than him though.

Interesting performances from both.

Erm...Maybe it's because Obama intentionally left off the lapel pin rather than unintentional.

I guess since McCain FORGOT his that negates the courageous act of voluntarily staying with his men in a prison camp in Vietnam in service of his country.

It's weak penguin. You amuse me

Hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
