Vice Presidential Debate

I wonder how many debate drinking game participants ended up in the hospital tonight.

Depends on how many people drank whenever she said "maverick".

Biden was pretty respectful of her and tried to focus on McCain instead of Palin.
Palin did better than I hoped, but I still enjoyed her floundering and switching subjects so abruptly so many times.
Palin trying to pretend she didn't know what "you were for it before you were against it" was sickening. "I'm such a Washington outsider, I don't even know what that means". I threw empty cigarette packs at the TV then.
I wished Biden had come back to education, but I still have more confidence in him than her.

Matt Daemon (of all people) gave a somewhat amusing interview in which he compared Palin's vice presidency to a bad Disney movie. You could just imagine McCain kicking the bucket leaving Palin to run the county in the style of an over-protective hockey mom - using her womanly wisdom to make decisions while knowing fuck-all about actual politics.

Sounds about right.

You should have all watched the Canadian leaders' debate that was on at the same time. Five party leaders sitting at a table getting into a free-for-all ruckus while citing specific examples rather than making vague references to stuff and repeating slogans.

Plus the moderator was calling people on bullshit because he had an earpiece on with TV guys googling stuff that was being said!

OMG, I'll have to read that later after some coffee.

VERY good assessment McClain!

That would make McCain A#1 AMERICAN GIJOE!

Most of the news outlets said that she did better than expected. Are our expectations of her really that low?

I can't believe that so many of the GOP talking heads still think she's the shit.

i can't get around how much of a joke this is

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with this debate either.

I hated how Palin would launch off into long tangents that ignored the topic. Biden actually reasked her a question and she reanswered something else. On the other hand, she and Biden both dodged questions to a degree, which is probably a political trick.

Personally, she cracked me and my brother up when she said "Nuclear" and "there you go again" (Ronald Regan anyone?)

Oh, and that whole bit about asking soccer moms about the economy? I really hate to seem like I'm stereotyping, but I really doubt that if you asked a soccer mom about the economy you'd get such a really long involved response.
