Here's my fave: "SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE!" Soooooooooo perfect! Joe Biden is a good guy but same old same old. Sorry. Typical of the DO NOTHING CONGRESS. Our MAVERICKS will go to Washington, courtesy of the voters - not the NEWBIE and the OLDIE. Let's put it this way: Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama and she's not the one running for President. Hillary, it's too bad your own party dissed you and played the racism card. As a Repub, I even started feeling bad for you and Bill watching you get torn apart by the media and Dems. Sarah Palin was fantastic – as I fully expected. Here's my fave:

Were they literally expecting her to break down and cry? That is silly. Of course she did not do that. What happened is that she memorized a script. And she used a minimal amount of improvisational skill to turn every question back to the script, at one point early on in the debate practically admitting that is what she was doing (when she said that she may not answer as they want her to). In fairness, this small task may have been slightly beyond what George Bush could have done. But it is still no feat at all. She is not ready.

It is clear to anyone who watched the debate. I think low expectations have made people excuse her run-on non-answers (the line where she said no child left behind twice comes to mind). This is really simple..... Palin is not qualified. If she ever became president, it would be another Grant, Ford, GwB type presidency. A presidency run by a committee and group that you did not elect that is pushing policies that help special interests with Palin as its public face. How can anyone vote for that?, especially now.

Most telling point was when Palin responded, I don't know, I've only been at this 5 weeks. Where is her experience now? Woefully short of substance.

Biden was good, and does talk confident and knowledgeable, no doubt. BUT... he doesn't tell the truth, and that gets overshadowed by his "presidential" demeanor. OBUMA absolutely said he would meet rogue leaders without precondition. Maybe not explicity Iran, but that was implied in the question at the primary debate. Response to question about these meetings: "I would". The Exxon tax cuts are bull too..... they just happen to be a corporation, Joe. Obama's voting record, as well as his characterization of McCain were also lies. Oh Bull. Biden was good, and does talk confident and knowledgeable, no doubt.

He didn't putt Palin down too much but he stuck to the issues that WE the common ordinary people talk about around our kitchen tables. Palin offered obsolutely NOTHING in her speech, there wasn't a clear understanding of what the McCain/Palin ticket would do and how they are going to solve the crisis in America. Palin sound rehearsed and reading from a script. Palin is good at reading from a telepromter but to just know the issues she's not. Joe Biden hit the ball out the park and laid out a clear plan and Obama/Biden has my vote. Biden was outstanding last night.

I'm so sick of these tv anchors weighing in on what a great job Palin did with her own image. She already showed the world what an idiot she is with her interviews. Who can forget that? So even if she didnt bumble, she didnt answer any questions with any depth. She just hit her talking points, on what they prepped her to say. "There you go again Joe"... What was that?? And how can you act like the Bush Administration is a thing of the Past, when he is the SITTING PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW-- PRESENT DAY!! TODAY!!! One more thing.
