I think Biden won the debate, I think he solidified the ticket's chances of winning, but Brokaw's comments were not unreasonable. She did help herself a lot, and by preventing further freefall for her ticket helped McCain as well.
But then the stooge said, 'I wish you could have a third term!'
Bush's eyes popped open and he said, 'Woah, woah, wait a minute!', obviously surprised.
He HATED the idea that he'd be stuck pretending to be the President for one second after Jan., 2009. His reaction seemed to be, 'I was promised that wouldn't happen!'
All these ancient people of the media are so over no one is taking them serious.
The media as we know it is dead any way.No one really cares what they think or say.
All of them are museum pieces
Stow the lifeboats, the great ship of state has been saved!
Re Brokaw, who really sounds more and more like a drunk (can't think of the name of the comic from years back who Brokaw sounds like?), we have five days to get him bounced! Massive email barrage of NBC, or directly to him?? Get an investigative reporter on him and embarrass him into dropping out?!
Said he came across like a total wingnut.
Even the health care executives in attendance (who are generally Republican) thought he was extreme.
No matter what Tom Brokaw says this race is breaking toward Obama. Unless something horrible happens between now and November he will win.
There is absolutely no way that Palin helped her team last night as the polling shows. Yes, the base will not feel entirely foolish in pulling the lever. However, they would have voted for McCain with a dead corpse as a running mate let alone the more exciting right wing nut Palin. The independents clearly went for Biden. Brokaw is very biased and it shows. But that has been true of the corporate owned media for a long time. Look at the "fair and balanced" treatment in the run up to Iraq.
We have to start working the refs. Brokaw is an embarrassment and we need to make it known.
Gwen, of PBS, was definitely hindered in her responsibility because of suggested bias in the other direction and consequently allowed Palin to get away with NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION ASKED AND FILLING IN WITH AN '"JABBERISH" THAT CAME TO MIND. Sen. Biden even brought it to Gwen's attention at one point. These debates are for the benefit of the voters. Information on plans for the future, where they stand and how they intend to get there. These are not popularity contests or free campaign time for their personal use. Let's get the best information we can with the upcoming debate. Cancellng Brokaw and replacing him with a true journalist will guarantee that possibility.
Brokaw's big plan to eliminate Olberman liberalism from MSNBC looked kinda odd last evening with David Gregory's 10 seconds of airtime before tossing to, who else, Olberman...Tom's always been happy with lip service even if his early history's been scrubbed from the net.
Tom's and our gay history do coincide in this letter from Frank Kameny regarding Brokaw's book "Boom, Voices of the Sixties":

Enjoy!
Maybe they're shooting wolves from helicopters, Sarah Palin-style.
I watched the VP debate in 1984 between Geraldine Ferraro and GHWBush. Ferraro had stack of notes, had pages running out to get more documentation, and she used every scrap of it to demolish every thing Bush had ever said in his entire life, she handed his ass to America on a silver platter.
Bush just stood there moronically mouthing the same Reagan-esque platitudes, 'Tow the line', 'Stay the course', 'Don't change horses in the middle of the stream, wouldn't be prudent - not at this juncture'. He had NOTHING.
Tom Brokaw comes on the second the debate is over and says, 'Obviously Bush won the debate and Ferraro didn't have a leg to stand on!'
That was when it was proven to me that the 'liberal media' is a big fat lie and that the MSM was totally controlled by the extremists of the far-right.
