WHY IS BIDEN GETTING THE LAST WORD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he needed it?

I found the moderator to be quite fair and if Governor Palin needed it, it probably would have been given to her.

Did I hear Brokaw say he bet the dems were probably happy there was only one VP debate?

“Biden thinks he can see Scranton from Dover.”

I live in Wilmington and have family in Scranton. Prior to this election, where Biden needed to counter Obama’s elitism with his blue colar cred(he couldn’t use Wilmington which is known as the corporate capital of the country) he casts back to his time in Scranton which he left when he was 10 years old. I want some reporters to go up to Scranton and delve into how much they know about him. Hey, it should be easier to do than what all the reporters that went up to AK had to do.

Cracker Jack,
Thank you for posting her Reagan quote. It is such a powerful quote, made even more meaningful by our times.

God bless,
Tatt

I’m with you, but I think McCain deliberately ceded that ground over the last two weeks and she had orders not to hit on that. That is a terrible mistake.

She still had many other missed opportunities for attack tonight.

As we know, the winner is often decided, and our memories of the debate affected, by the spin and public opinion that follows.

I’ll go with the flow on that if it favors Palin, but you know how I really feel...

She totally outclassed Biden and surprised everyone. While he was talking about who voted how and when, she talked to the people and told them what her and McCain would do for the people.
She had some very good lines. I don't know if it was just tonight but Bidin looked like the devil with little horn sticking out. Sarah looked like a angel that can lead.

This is not a normal election. We have the first black [mixed race] man ever nominated for the Presidency by a major party. He also has the thinest resume of anyone who ever ran for the office. Biden was quick to mention that Obama told him that he would be sitting in on all the major meetings. Biden did him no favor with those remarks.

Palin has been viewed as not being capable of filling the office, i.e., she is just a heartbeat away. This election VPs matter more than most elections. I suspect that this may be the most watch VP debate in history and may even top any Presidential debate ever in terms of number of viewers.

Yes, isn’t this incredible! She’s won over all these folks in the audience. I’ve never seen anything like this.

California FReepers, agree with it or not, she will be at Home Depot Center in Carson, CA this Saturday, 2pm. (For those in Rio Linda, Home Depot Center is the current home of the LA Galaxy soccer team, and David Beckham.)

Details should be available at www.johnmccain.com, and there was also a recent thread about it.

OMG, are you serious? You wanted her to get into some group most people don’t even know about and start rambling about them being Marxists and Corrupt in a debate watched by middle America?
Are you really serious?

I think the average voter out here in Fly Over Country will feel a real connection with her. She looked past the biased moderater into their eyes and spoke to issues that are near to their hearts. She was personal and real.

Freepers wanted her to go for the kill shots and name names, but she would not really have enough time in this format to explain any attacks to those that are naive. If she had let go and blasted as we would like, she would have alienated that undecided and average voters. She did the job she was supposed to do. If she gets elected, the guilty can face the law. First, she must gain the voters. (Oh yeah, and so must that guy she is running with.)
