speaking as a conservative, i thought biden won. i mean ffs, she was sooooo bland. there were a few moments where she made good points, but for the most part the debates were just talking points.
i better check my hearing and drinkingQuote:

I think my conservative vote just went over to the left side.
President Palin would absolutely scare the shit out of me.
I need to see the final two Presidential debates to confirm, but I am now firmly planted in the undecided corner leaning toward Obama/Biden.
I guess I could always write in Ron Paul and waste my vote hoping to move the Republican party toward less restriction on my liberties, less spending, and solid fiscal policies.
Each election continues to be more deflating than the last.
I thought the moderator was also a huge pushover... not railing EITHER candidate for completely ignoring her questions and spewing whatever bullshit they so chose. Although I think Palin was far more guilty of delivering memorized stump speeches, and even admitted that she wasn't going to answer the questions the way the moderator wanted, Biden did as well....
And btw, how about some questinos that ACTUALLY get some answers....
"What promises have you made that you aren't going to be able to deliver on???"
"If your running mate dies, what are you going to do differently?"
Does anyone think these will actually achieve meaningful answers that can help Americans decide which of these people know their shit, and can successfully lead this country if it were necessary???
meh, they both essentially said that they support everything for gays except the ability to get formally married.Quote:

If John McCain "knows how to win the war in Iraq" why the fuck doesn't he tell us, or tell the commander of operations, or tell big Dubya what we need to do? Either he is telling an outright lie OR he is withholding key details/ideas/strategy/tactics from our current governing officials and commanders. I hope for the sake of our troops it's really the former, and not the later.
Can you give me a few examples of when Biden dodged questions? I'm sure there were a few but I was so tilted from Palin's "Well, I'm not going to answer that because I want to talk about my opponent's ENERGY POLICY OMG RAWRRR OIL RUSSIA OMG"Quote:

im pretty sure this was just a badly worded way of saying that he know "what it takes" to win the war. and im sure he's put his viewpoints forward in congress and to W. I think more than anything this was just a way to say that Obama's plan of being out of Iraq after 16 months is not the most effective way, and McCain knows how to handle it better. Now if only she had taken that oportunity to explain what McCains stategy is ...Quote:

Palin far exceeded my expectations but that's b/c I thought she was special-needs after watching some of the Katie Couric interviews this week. Given my expectations, she basically hit a home run. The accent, the darn right's and the winking make me want to punch her in the face though. And there's no fucking way I'm going to risk a 1 in 6 chance of her becoming president by voting for McCain. I thought Biden played it conservatively, never attacking Palin, just McCain. He rambled too much and included too much detail, just like Obama did in the first debate, and it didn't come off that well. And bringing up his family tragedy to show that he empathizes with working-class single-mothers was a bit weird. But in my mind, he's the most qualified of all 4 candidates to be president.
OMG! Sarah Palin is such a good debater!
Can you clarify this because it's tilting me. One of the biggest attacks was how the dems don't go into detail concerning their policies and now this?Quote:

I just think that both Biden and Obama had a tendency in these debates to obscure their main points by including too much detail. They should state their point, provide a detail or two, and then repeat their point. A stylistic criticism, not a substantive one. And of course I'd rather vote for someone who knows a lot of details about their policy positions than someone who keeps repeating the same talking points over and over.Quote:

Palin surprised a lot of people by not imploding. I think she did fine for the "I'm speaking to the heartland of America" angle, but she didn't really say anything. Biden certainly did better at staying on topic and getting down to specifics (though I think he got a little carried away with the McCain-bashing) and seeming less like a cheerleader reciting empty chants.
What I'm afraid of, however, is that most of America's voting middle class (Jesusland) will find her act charming and be swayed by it.
aka, the only reason Obama might not win is because he's black.Quote:

And she's no freakin' Ronald Reagan - despite the governor and limited national experience comparisons - 'cause California is damn near the world's 11th largest economy....
Bottom line... you can't run a f-in country off of index card talking points. Which is why I wish we'd dump these pre-scripted "you go, then I go" quasi-infomercials and replace them with something that's at least as intellectually demanding as a freakin' inter-collegiate squad debate. They're completely useless in their current format...
I think my Obama/Biden vote was sealed last night by the "No" to gay marriage head-spinner bombshell... Big ups to them having the balls to recognize that the governments responsibility ends at equal protection under the law and that this is a cultural not civil rights issue. One that won't be solved by the government sticking their nose even further into social issues. Be consistent - stay the f-k out of abortion, marriage, death with dignity, and all the other decisions that should be left solely to the individual and their own personal beliefs.... I'm sure they pissed off a chunk of their fringe on that one.
Oh... and can someone please explain WTF Palin's answer was to the same gay marriage question? Or was she answering a question from 20 minutes earlier......? I kinda lost track... :shock:
I thought he was quite respectable.. he said at least twice that John McCain is a good man, and you could tell that he honestly meant it, but then explained that while McCain is a good man, he's either out-of-touch with the middle class or doesn't support certain programs that the dems support.Quote:

why can't gay people get married, it doesn't make any sense, they should suffer like the rest of us
<spoonitnow> This morning my gf's dad posted a myspace bulletin about how Palin clearly won the debate last night
<spoonitnow> I enjoyed watching the debate between Sen Joe Bidin and Gov. Sarrah Palin. Gov. Palin won this debate hands down. She was precise, to the point, and new her stuff. All Sen. Bidin could do was go backwards to President Bush and his admisistration. Sen. John McCain and Gov. Palin is the right choise. Obama and Bidin will destroy this country. The musilums want to attack this country from within. They will succeed through Obama. It will not happen with McCain.
<spoonitnow> Gov. Palin did not stumble, fall, or studder. She was very professional. I know that Sen. Bidin has been in the Senate for 25 yrs, and has done a fairly good job, but even he was against Obama in the race for the nomanation. What does that tell ya.

another thing that would cause this is a higher turnout from racists. well im not worried about that since white racists already vote.
