Okay, folks. Let's keep an eye on this debate and see if Sarah can beat down hairplug.

[Miss Didi]

Greta's from Wisconsin. She loves the Palins; she's voting McCain. ;)

[I got the rope]

Well...he corrected himself and said he would give the Chinese Clean coal technology. Like they didn’t have it already...what an idiot!

[Democrat_media]

Biben the Commmunist/Democrat looked like a zombie and got his ass handed to him by the next president of the U.S.A, Sarah Palin.

If I were Palin’s husband I would have punched Biden’t face in more and pummeled Biden to the ground for daring to touch my wife.

Your point on the substance is correct but most Americans judge on style. Palin won on style. Moreover, she was not chased off the stage, disreputed her critics, and she spoke in plain language. She won and in my view her comment about BO raising the white flag in Iraq was a home run.

Greta is a PUMA..........

[kabar]

You must be living in a parallel universe, Newbie

[markomalley]

The Great One, Dr. Levin is right... Biden is the dumbest man in the U.S. Senate.

I typically agree with The Great One...

But Biden has so many competitors, it is hard to tell which one of them is the dumbest. ;-)

[Chaguito]

Dang it, didn’t anybody see her Reaganesque moves, like smiling, turning her head toward Biden and almost verbatim saying, “Well, there you go again, Senator” Was I dreaming. She was great at the right times.

[Alas Babylon!]

Also, 64 bit opposed to 32 bit.

I have switched all my servers over to 64-bit, with 64-bit operating systems. The difference is astounding! 64-bit machines can address far, far more virtual memory addresses, also. 4 GB for 32-bit, 17 EXAbytes for 64-bit!!!

Of course, those are max values. Not suggesting you get THAT much RAM (at least not right away)!

[God luvs America]

again.....that condescending SOB Paul Begala is having a tough time putting down Palin- his criticism is she didn’t make 0bama seem like a risky pick versus biden who made McCain seem risky...

and again; these are the same people who claim McCain lost last week because he was on the attack to much....

okay- I am watching the rest of the football games....

[Liberty Valance]

Welcome to FreeRepublic ;o)

[blueheron2]

Joe needs a sixpack (or two)!!

[af_vet_rr]

Yea , wait until the day after the election why don’t we. You think Mc Cain will have the balls to say what needs to be said . I don’t ..When was the last time you saw a Republican take the gloves off against the Dems..I’m waiting ( crickets in the distance)

That right there is one more reason why McCain needs to get Rove on board. Whoever is advising McCain and Palin has been giving them piss-poor advice. Both Palin and McCain have made mistakes that should not have been made during a debate. There's times where both had their opponent on their heels, and they backed off or wimped out. Biden on the other hand had no problem knocking the win out of Palin a few times and he pressed the issue - she stood up to him and handled it well, but the contrast was huge. McCain should have destroyed Obama last week.

[EagleandLiberty]

Pitt won!!!!!!! :-)

[Syncro]

Biden was all over the place with physical gaffs while working the stage.

Biden is gross

[US34]

No, I am giving my honest opinion... I do not need others to put words in my mouth or at my keyboard. I call it as I see it... No apologies.

[Fundamentally Fair]

He lost a wife and daughter. His two sons were gravely injured. nuff said.

He's also tried to score political point by accusing the other driver of being drunk...though HIS wife pulled out in front of other driver.

[comps4spice]

That needs to be out on YouTube as quickly as possible...the next debates need to have a moderator with some integrity. Rick Warren toasted Lehrer and Ifill.

[Candor7]

Why did he cry?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He can't talk about the tough times with his family without crying.

I suppose he could do the same in a cross table with Ahminajihad from Iran.

Thats when Joe lost the debate.

Thats why Drudge shows 75% + opinion Palin won

The country does not want a weak kneed blatter in these difficult times.

[MEG33]

I thought she was terrific.
