Well she certainly did considerably better than with Couric. Yikes.

Without prejudice and certainly without choosing sides. I have not even registered to vote because I am still so unsure. Here is how I saw her performance:

Clearly the majority of Sarah Palin's politics and debate verbiage consists of her speaking based on ideals rather than the issues or questions at hand. For almost every question she was asked she gave a "general statement answer" and kept coming back to these items:

1. She beleives in doing what is right for the country versus doing what is right for the party.

2. She has experience in being a Governor of a state with tons of natural resources.

3. She fought the oil companies.

4. McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick, McCain is a maverick.

She did better than I thought she would do based on the Couric interview.

It is clear that she (like myself to a point. So in a sense I relate...without giving an excuse for her) can speak and debate more easily to a crowd, or within a group of people than a one-on-one debate or critical interview. This is what her problem seemed to be.

*Biden was very cordial, and actually very nice to her????????? Can you beleive that. I thought he would surely come out with guns a blazing. Maybe he figured it might appear he was picking on a woman and would lose more than gain if he was real tough on her.

I could not believe it. He actually seemed to really like her. I just know he did. It was pretty obvious. Is it because he respects Mccain so much?

___________________

He has somethin I tell ya. Joe Biden's reputation comes from several years of being quite loud, verbal, brash, and argumentatively long winded on the issues he has fought for. He would say whatever came to his mind without reserve for the most part. Now in this most prized position at stake to him, being The Vice President of The United States of America, he is so very gentlemanly, reserved, and actually warm. Not only warm in general but very warm to her???

I know he couldn't chastise her being she is a female and it would look bad.... but he could of been somewhat more argumentative or direct. He did not get into such a mode until too close to the end.
He had already been too tame for too long and it was too little, too late, for a real decisive showing on his part even though I thought he did better and answered questions well enough.

Joe obviously likes getting punished and humiliated by a woman, LOL!

Hey, am I the only one who is saddened that the election will decided by those so wishing washy and lacking in personal opinion and values that they have not made up their mind yet and are waiting for a magic sound bite on TV?

Look, either you are happy taking more out of the system than you put in, or are outraged about it. It ain't that hard a decision.

I thought she did GREAT considering the expectations.

She was confident, feisty and genuine, imo, and, while the folksy mannerisms/jargon maybe lost on a jaded old East Coaster like myself, a lot of people will relate to her. That said. She has a long way to go and I'm not sure she is ready for POTUS.

Funny...I feel the same way about Palin as I do Obama. Give each of them a little more experience and BOTH have formidable futures.

Biden appears to know the facts but that condescending smile he kept shooting her way was annoying.

You really want change?? Let's send Obama and Palin to the White House and the old guard Biden and McCain HOME!!!

Now I'll tune in to hear what the pundits have to say!

My hunch Nellie is because she doesnt have the depth to go there. A deer in the headlights and Biden by keeping his cool won the debate.Winning a debate and being the winner in the electorate is another matter. I think both debaters exceeded expectations and the online fact checkers are showing a ton of bs from both of them.This will change nothing as far as polls etc and McCain needs a knock out or TKO in his next debate to stem the flow toward Obama that is now happening in the key states.Debate wise I would give Biden a "B" and Palin a "C"maybe C+ based on the low expectations.Hell Bidens scathing words about Cheney were priceless and had me cheering.

Ian... WTF? you better be under 25, if you've never voted!!! And even then, young people need to wake the fuck up and vote!!!
Even if you don't vote, you should register. That way, if by some reason we lose the right to vote, you actually exercised that right!

I think anyone who hasn't made up their mind by now should forget about it and focus on earning that elusive GED instead. I'm still sorry it isn't a Clinton/Obama ticket but the principles she stood for won't be seen in a McCain/Palin ticket, so it's Obama/Biden all the way for me.
