My hubby just said “That’s the problem. I hate Scranton.”

Sarah’s really getting into it now. The first couple answers were just “McCain this, McCain that” blah blah but she’s loosened up and showing some emotion and conviction. Nice.

What’s with Biden’s head? Is there a makeup issue?

Why is the live NBC television feed about a minute behind the internet feed that I am seeing on FOX?

“Biden is smiling at her that LOOKS very very patronizing!”

Sexist pig stare.

Biden says that under Obamas plan, taxes will be the same as under Reagan. Under Reagan income taxes were about 70% when he cam in for the rich. Reagan was able to reduce them to under 40%. Then the economy picked up.

But, 40% tax rate is an increase from where we are today.

What matters right now is how this will be spinned. The overall appearance and demeanor of the two vp candidates will be judged by the public, not the details of the debate. Only if someone says something that’s flat out wrong will it matter.

I disagree, Gov. Palin has seemed nervous (who wouldn’t) and occasionally left out words in her sentences...

Though she has been hitting it out of the park since she referenced “her and Todd” and how the middle class doesn’t call paying higher taxes patriotic.

Yep. She was cut off when she tried to rebutt a couple of his points.

"What’s up with Joe Biden’s eyes? He looks like he’s turning Japanese or something.

Hubby just said that Biden looked like he's had a bad botox job....

Don't like the condesending tone he just took...almost expect him to call Gov Palin "little lady" or something.

I’m a little weary of Biden looking at Gwen and basically asking Gwen to cut Sarah off when she’s talking.

Good answer on the health care plan from Palin.

One question: how many people actually pay #12k/yr in health insurance?

Biden is being very patronizing and condescending...ha.

Keep it up, Joe! You are playing your role of ass superbly.

“We don’t care it redistribution where I come from...” Note his argument isn’t that it isn’t redistribution...it’s just that he doesn’t call it redistribution. Kinda like calling the bailout a RESCUE plan.
