Official Vice-Presidential Debate Commentary and Analysis Thread

Palin shouldn't try the "new and different" card unless she wants Obama to win

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

As expected it's a bunch of bullsh**t sound-bytes from Palin that sound reasonable if you're not listening too hard.

Anyways, don't those soccer-moms and hockey-moms not care about having jobs? Who cares about them in terms of the economy.

[Dan the Roman]

Palin seems a bit nervous, and hence is speaking too quickly. Its distracting from what she is saying.

Is she even pausing to breath?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

More efficient, like wasting $1 trillion on Iraq?

The $42k lie is back.

[exopolitician]

Is the new thing this year not to look at your opponent when your debating them? Whats up...? shes just staring blankly at the screen when she talks...

She's a stylish propaganda robot machine.

[ChrisFromNJ]

She is so full of sh**t.

[War on Want]

Please make a gaffe Palin...

Who cares about taxes in Alaska, they get all their money from the oil companies, and so they don't have the revenue problems that the other 49 states do.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The poor already lost the class warfare.

[Firefly]

lol!  Palin just admitted that she's not going to answer the questions asked of her.

[angus]

Palin seems a bit nervous, and hence is speaking too quickly. Its distracting from what she is saying.

what's more distracting is her frequent use of the same words in the same sentence:

"Joe, with all do respect I respect your service..."

"Barack needs to side with the people's side..."

"He did vote on a vote to raise taxes..."

"As for John McCain's stand on regulations, his adherence to regulations were..."



Wonder how many words she has in her vocabulary.

[War on Want]

Yay a stupid class warfare question that always helps the Dems!

[JohnCA246]

LMAO, Im not going to answer that!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Looks like the McCain team coached Palin to look at the camera like Obama did and Biden is talking to the moderator like McCain did.

[Reluctant Republican]

I think Palin irked the moderator a bit. Maybe not the best move, but hey, she was supposedly biased already.

[Dan the Roman]

"I may not answer the questions the way you or the moderator want" and she is going to call Obama a demagogue!

Anyway, solid evidence of over-coaching. She was clearly giving canned responses which don't fit, she is smart enough to know they don't fit, but she has had it drilled in so much that she needs to use them that she is doing the worst of both worlds; giving us pre-written responses but doing it in stale manner.

[exopolitician]

lol!  Palin just admitted that she's not going to answer the questions asked of her.

Biden just called her out on it too.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

lol!  Palin just admitted that she's not going to answer the questions asked of her.

Well, why would she start now?

Looks like the McCain team coached Palin to look at the camera like Obama did and Biden is talking to the moderator like McCain did.

They just looked at each other some.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

"I may not answer the questions the way you or the moderator want" and she is going to call Obama a demagogue!

Obviously she thinks that "demagogue" is just another way of saying "Democrat".

[War on Want]

What the hell, this answer by Palin bugs the sh!t out of me.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The main detail: "DON'T GET SICK"

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The main detail: "DON'T GET SICK"

Stop stealing from Kinnock!

(as in; "if Mrs Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be... etc, etc")

[angus]

I do like her hair down better than the bun.

I still don't like Biden's not-quite-a-mullet.


speaking of appearances, check out her lapel flag.  It's huge.  Makes Biden's look like a speck of chowder he coughed up during lunch. 

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Biden says "Bridge to nowhere"....
