Holy crap, I’m nervous.
UPDATE 2112:
Biden seems old and tired. I think they drugged him to keep him from making gaffes.
I just love Palin so far. I like the folksy.
UPDATE 2120:
I just want to say again I love Palin! No more knot in my stomach!
UPDATE 2126:
I hope she mentions which Senators voted for the Bridge to Nowhere.
BTW, I’m going to be a little behind now since SarahK is making me pause.
UPDATE 2125:
Ooh. Obama was so concerned he wrote a letter. Isn’t he supposed to do more as a Senator? Don’t we write letters to them to get them to do stuff?
UPDATE 2144:
What Constitution is Biden talking about?
UPDATE 2206:
I love it when she attacks Obama’s stupid judgment on the war. I’m like, “Smack that bitch around!”
UPDATE 2209:
I notice how she stares right at Biden when she talks when Lehrer was unable to get McCain and Obama to look at each other.
UPDATE 2220:
“Doggone it.”
“Your wife, God bless her…”
Palin is now officially the most precious resource to come out of Alaska.
UPDATE 2241:
I thought Palin did great. I loved it. That was the Palin we were hoping for, the one who has an 80% approval rating in Alaska.
Also, I should mention I think Ifill was a great moderator. She should have used the opportunity to plug her book, though.
UPDATE 2301:
I don’t know why Ace got an e-mail and I didn’t (because everyone knows I can be a partisan shill), but here are Biden’s fourteen lies. I was hoping Palin would get on him about how he said McCain voted against funding the troops when what McCain was voting against was the Democrat surrender bill that they knew Bush was going to veto.
Get attacked by conservatives – if you can find some.
Well…
can i call you joe? not presidential — Tina Fey is happy with that one
biden looks TIRED — but comes out swinging with a tight first answer (at first)
nice how he claims obama came up with a 4 point plan (which consisted of points everyone already agreed with in the beginning)
LONG WINDED –TALKING WAY TOO FAST
i’m glad i’m not participating in a drinking contest tied to how many time palin says “mccain” “bipartisan” or “reform”
she’s a little too folksy for me — but its way too early to tell
And “Maverick.”
She could had done without the ‘Can I call you joe’ line.
She lets biden talk for that long but interrupts palin?
Long time reader, first time poster………..
If I’m not mistaken that is a “$#!^ eating Grin” tatic that Biden employing…
Thanks,
“bridge to no-where” Ugh. nice. That’ll get network play.
I like her, but she seems tense and out of breath. I wish she’d relax.
She is starting to get into it.
This is off topic, but guess what that co-saver of the constitution, Larry Flynt, is up to?
Sara Palin look-alike porn!
No kidding. Classy bunch, those Democrats. I guess it’s a back-handed compliment if you think about it, though… I mean, is there one single Dem chick that’s doable? Let’s see-
Michelle Obambi… Yeah, right. She wouldn’t be proud of you in the morning.
Hillary “Cankles” Clinton… If not even Bill will touch it anymore, then you know it’s bad.
Theresa Heinz Kerry… I’d rather do a ketchup bottle. From Hunts.
NancyBoy Pelosi… N/A. Automatons don’t count.
Harry Reid… While it wouldn’t technically be pedophilia, he is still a little girl after all.
Cindy Sheehan… Eww. Just eww.
Cynthia McKinney… Again, eww. Besides, she’s already f**ked.
Breck Girl Edwards… Perhaps- if you could get him away from his mirror & lotion long enough.
Did I miss anyone?
AAAARGGGGH, there isn’t enough duck tape in the world to keep my head from exploding.
deregulation had NOTHING to do with this mess ,it was the dems pillaging fanny and freddie and giving loans to people who couldn’t pay them back
I wish she would point that out though… Maybe we need to get her to read some blogs.
Biden doesn’t know what he is talking about… Al Gorism?
Did he just refer to himself in the third person?
Wow.. Sarah riped his throat out on the Afghanistan topic.
Every freakin issue, Joe Biden has been given the last word on the issue at hand. Give Palin a chance to respond!
Whew…
I thought Biden was supposed to rip her a new one?
Oh.. some ripping happened tonight, but fortunately Sarah wasn’t following the MSM’s pre-prepared script. She absolutely kicked the crap out of Joey O’Biden.
OT: New Bond move Nov. 14. Woo-hoo! (crappy title, tho’)
[The title is from an actual Ian Fleming Bond short story, though. -Ed.]
I’m surprised that she was able to stand as close to him on that stage as she did once his stink started:
Biden’s 14 Lies (AceOfSpaces)
(I’m really glad someone kept count ’cause I lost count!)
I thought she let him off the hook too many times but basically won the debate on relevant points scored.
I’m so sorry I made you pause. I was only making your dinner AND doing my own liveblog. 😛
AlanABQ, you SHUT UP! *I* have cankles!
I think SarahK makes everybody pause. What is it with the name “Sarah?”
Biden smiled so many times at the lady in green I Fell that I thought he was looking to her for encouragment. Bidens smile was so huge and went from ear to ear like a little boy who is just SO proud that he is able to stand on stage and nobody’s gotten the hook for him yet. Now Palin is another story entirely. On point, on the mark, on the attack, on her toes, dead serious. Dead on. She got her sights baby, and it’s on the money, it’s on the reality, it’s on the future and it’s on the presidency.
On the mike I heard I Fell tell Biden “you were great” to reasure him (I wonder if they have something going those two, as he sure looks like he needs a lot of help because deep down he knows he’s lost if he’s not careful).
Oh, BTW Cidhed, “All rocks go to heaven”. I get it now!
Let’s hope they put McCain in Palin camp to prepare for the debate.
I loved the part where Biden’s biggest complaint about George Bush and Israel was that Bush supported a free election in the West Bank, and Bush didn’t ask NATO to unilaterally invade Lebanon (One of our Allies). Good way to show you aren’t a war monger, and for democracy, Biden
Exit Question: Since Biden Pointed out he was the first supporter of Clinton to invade Bosnia, how come no one is asking him why he wants’ to pull our troops out of Iraq because we’ve been there too long but it’s A OK that we still have troops in the Balkans after 15+ years? Just a thought.
