Who will win the VP debate?

[Nutmeg]

There's a difference between exceeding expectations and winning.

She'll win, in reality. The media just keeps unfairly demonizing her. Charlie Gibson sneering down his nose with his low glasses, Katie Couric, the frozen cold b*tch with no personality. She really hasn't had the best of interviewers except Sean Hannity. Most of this, is of course, because the leftists can't stand a woman who isn't pro-choice and doesn't stand for all that socialist crap.

That's ludicrous.  It is obvious that she has no clue as to what's going on.  Really, she has never demonstrated a solid grasp of the issues over the past month.

Is that what you gathered when you sat down and discussed the issues with her?

I have watched the interviews and the televised speeches.  That's all we have to go on.

Yes, and much of that has been spun harder then a cotton candy machine. Do you really think Charlie and Katie wanted to do anything besides smear her?

Her responses speak for themselves.  Unless someone told her to say those things.

[Nutmeg]

Have someone hostile to your political leanings corner you with a camera in your face and tell me you wouldn't trip up. Especially considering that I highly doubt you've spent much time in the public eye, much like Governor Palin.

How is this about me?  I'm not running for vice president of the United States.  I hold my leaders and would-be leaders to a bit of a higher standard than I would myself on things such as, say, knowledge of current international events or of McCain's platform on such issues.

If your argument is that she's qualified because she's not worse than the average person, that's a pretty low and pretty sad standard.

[Nutmeg]

She's the Governor of a state. Quite obviously she is qualified for the job. I'm only using you as an example.

I really don't understand how her being the best option on a ballot in Alaska in 2006 informs her on the wealth of issues a vice president of this nation must be conversant in.  She simply hasn't shown herself to be up to the job, as I have perceived both her understanding of issues of major importance and the responsibilities of the office to which she could ascend.

Ok, I guess we're at an impasse here.

[Nutmeg]

Yes, Obamas mentor Saul Alinksy was a Marxist and hated America.

Um, that guy died when Obama was 10 years old.

Yeah, so obviously that means Obama couldn't have admired him.

Writer whose works someone else later reads does not a mentor make.
