I watched the debate without reading the threads.. I thought he was taking her to task. He can easily lie and spin and she just doesn’t have the tools to put him in his place.
Ifill has been horrible though.. Out of the 15 topics or so, Biden has had the last word on 11 or 12 of them. I hope that’s talked about in the post debate coverage.
She’s been okay, but I wouldn’t go so far as saying great.
Wow, what a shock, Joe gets the final word again.
WOW she just jabbed Michelle Obama by saying she and McCain have always been proud to be an American!!!! OUCH!
Hmm...I just went and checked with my husband. He’s been listening (he doesn’t read FR.) I said, “How’s she doing?” He said, “She’s kicking a@#!” He’s an average Joe, not as tuned in politically as those on FR, and he thought she did great.
The theme between Obama and Biden in these two debates has been doom and gloom. Both McCain and Palin’s theme has been optimistic. People have said she was nervous. She probably was, early on, but she’s an energetic person, and came across strong, but likable. I think she will connect with a good part of middle America.
