Vice Presidential Debate Thread

I think she thinks she's there to give a speech rather than answer questions. She's doing a great job keeping her feet out of her mouth.

Well you can never be wrong when you decide that you're not going to directly answer questions.

She did a great job proving she's not a complete airhead. Bad job of proving what kind of VP she'd be and backing up McCain.

Whoa. Let's be fair here. Biden spouted some nice numbers but worked hard on answer avoidance himself. Each had their scripts/talking points and stuck to them question be damned.

Again, this "debate" changed nobody's mind.

And, for god's sake, could we please have a seminar for Republican candidates on how to pronounce "nuclear".

Whatever, Joe. Palin is stupid. I know. I saw some YouTube clips that show it. I bet she doesn't know..um...things that...um...smart people know. I think her soul should be eternally damned for her not being fully up to speed on all issues.

And, in case you didn't realize this, McCain = Bush.

I think she did a good job of avoiding making the big mistake. However, she spoke in such ridiculous generalities that it was almost to the point of, "I'm going to go to Washington and do a bunch of really good things." I felt like Biden did a much better job of articulating his points.

I was screaming the same thing at my TV.

Nu-cu-lear = Ath-a-lete (that one kills me too)

Wow she is just like McCain a maverick!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. She's ok until she has to formulate a thought on her own.

First, I am no Palin fan. There were clearly many more competent choices for McCain. To me, she is a sop to the social conservatives of the Republican party.

With that said, I thought that when asked questions in her comfort zone she gave sharp answers delivered in fairly concise fashion. Outside that zone, her answers were vague generalities or the repetition of talking points.

The problem, of course, is that her comfort zone is smaller than Herve Villechaize's strike zone
