SARAH...SARAH...SARAH....SARAH!!!!

I thought Sarah did a great job but it was very obvious that she’s still being forced to wear her Jane McCain mask, and that’s not good. Biden stood there and delivered a host of bald-faced lies, but surely the grandest was when he claimed that Obama saw the subprime problems coming, warned everyone, and McCain thought all was rosy. It was obvious that Sarah had been instructed to be “bipartisan” on the crisis, which absolutely squandered a chance to tell the truth about Obama being up to his eyeballs in the financial mess. Not only did she not do that, but she let Biden’s absurd claims stand unchallenged.

Don’t get me wrong: I do NOT think for one minute that this was Palin’s fault. I think she’s following the McCain game plan, and I fear more by the day that it is a losing plan.

Did you notice that Biden was against the ropes most of the debate? Constantantly going back to try and defend Obama. I thought he was going to have to sit down because she was going too fast for him. Her confidence continued to build throughout the debate. He faded and he came across as unfunny.

GREAT JOB, SARAH!!!!!!

It appears that the debate was obviously slanted in favor of Biden. He answered without hesitation and Ifill (who we know is liberally-biased) seemed to take more kindly to Biden than Palin.

Flamed no. Just wondering what debate you watched.

Sarah was great. Gwen did a good job, too. I felt sorry for Joe because I could see pain on his face when Sarah delivered well. He’s a sensitive guy, which actually made it easier on Sarah.

I love Sarah, her politics and her down to earth persona. I finally got excited when McLame finally did something right by selecting her. However, I had to turn the TV off after the first half hour tonight because I thought she utterly sucked. She missed so many opportunities and she made Biden’s point for him too many times. If it wasn’t over before it is now.

biden totally flunked constitutional law. must have been class he cheated
in.

[rbg81]

Not sure what debate you watch and I REALLY question your motives.

Yeah, whatever. I've been a FReeper for a LOOONG time. You can look at my posts and I'm as conservative as they get. And part of my conservatism is giving my honest opinion. I'll still be voting for McCain regardless.

[Hanna548]

She did great.

[hecht]

i’m in love!!!

[UCANSEE2]

I just heard the talking head say

“COLDEST STATE, HOTTEST GOVERNOR”

[muawiyah]

Actually, you missed the best parts.

I think you must have fallen for that "1, 2, 3" points thing.

That sort of stuff doesn't mean a thing.

What matters is "Obama is dangerous".

[Russ]

I’ve seen your comments on other threads here lately and you have been consistantly anti-Palin. You weren’t objective going into the debate so you sure as hell won’t be afterward.

[webschooner]

She did very well. I just wish McCain would have allowed her to blame the Dems for the financial mess (since they caused it), ut McCain won’t blame Dems for anything, only Repupublicans.

If McCain gets a bump in the polls from this, he better turn Sarah loose to be Sarah, if he wants to win this.

[JMS]

Biden almost broke down and cried. Now I can understand the reason but as the man, what kind of image does that present?

[redstateconfidential]

Biden made more faces than monkey watchin somebody eat a bannna.

[hinckley buzzard]

Mrs. Buzzard, who is totally nonpolitical, watched this debate and said "Are you watching this? She is kicking his ass!"

So take your negativism, whatever stupid personal problem it is about, and stow it.
