You mean, by saying she wasn't going to answer the questions that were
being asked?

Palin didn't do herself any more damage, but I'd bet polls show the
undecided voters thought Biden won handily.

I guess I misunderstood her...I took it that she meant that she wasn't
going to fall flat on her face by answering the questions in the way her
critics and the media expected...you know like on SNL or with Katie
Couric. She was going to be herself, not like her handlers forced her
to be in those previous interviews. I thought Biden, like previous men
she's debated (in Alaska) underestimated her a little. Of course, he
was in a tight spot...men just don't attack women in polite society and
get away with it.

Tom G.


I called it pretty much a draw, which is pretty damn good for a gal going
up against a 35 year veteran in congress. He should have been able to mop
the floor with her, but he didn't even come close to doing that.
Apparently your opinion is not the one shared by the majority according
to the polls. Attacking her would have been a mistake and he knew it.
Even if you believe it was a draw, that's a win for Obama/Biden. It was
clear to me that all she did the entire time was repeat the messages she
had memorized from her handlers. She has no knowledge of the issues. The
comment about having a good conversation with Kissinger was total bs. All
she did was meet and greet those people in nyc to try to bolster her
resume. She spent no real time in deep discussions with any of them. She
is about as unqualified for the vp spot as a person could be.


Since you mention qualifications, name just 10 and let's see how the P and
VP candidates measure up. Call on Krause for help if you want.

Agreed.

Even with the poll stating that they thought Biden did better in the
debate, some 84% stated that Palin did better than they expected.

Tim, you can't say that kind of stuff here. You will only get the
regulars calling names and dismissing you like they do with half the
country. And be sure not to ask any direct questions...

If asked any direct questions on which you haven't a friggin clue, just take
a Palin approach and ramble aimlessly about being a mom, mayor, governor, an
energy genius, best recipe for potato salad, etc. like she did with 90% of
the questions she was asked last night or during any of the interviews.

Well, Scott.

I'm actually hoping she'll be elected because it might bring back the
"Northern Exposure" reruns.

With the exception of Gov. Mayor, and Potato Salad, you could say the
same thing about Obama.

BTW, You show me what good he's done for my (and his) State of
Illinois, and I'll show you what he'll do for the country.

Yes, Northern Exposure was one of the very few fiction shows I've ever
liked and watched. That show was done with class, and at times it was
downright freaky! Loved the way they cast the quirky characters!

I guess you are used to "totally unqualified" in the White House and
Exec Office Building...sort of more of Bush & Crowd.

Absolutely!

I didn't really care for it much when it first came out, but the more
I watched it, the better it was.

Hilarious, and obviously well done.

Better than the sitcom "Carter Country" during Jimmy's administration.

I think Palin demonstrated last night that she'd be a great hostess on a
teevee "reality" show. She's soooooo bubbly...and empty-headed, she'd be
just perfect. Or maybe she could replace that mindless blonde bimbo
conservative on The View...
