Look for a hump on her back!!!!!!

cheetos · 1 year ago

I'll be keeping track of Palin's sentences ended with a preposition.

Rab · 1 year ago

Let the games begin!

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

PALIN WINS!!!

Oops, not yet. What channel is everyone watching? I'm on CNN.

dacnova · 1 year ago

I'm on CBS 'cause Katie Couric is there and Survivor just ended. If it gets too bad, I have Ugly Betty cued up on the DVR.

dacnova · 1 year ago

I hope she cries. Emotional, like a woman.

Rab · 1 year ago

Can I call you Joe?

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

A trick to get him to call her Sarah?

dacnova · 1 year ago

If I can call you Tina.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

You can call me Al.

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

If I can call you c*nt

ndtovent · 1 year ago

LOL!

jennywa · 1 year ago

It should be MAY I call you Joe!

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

Does Gwen Ifill have a gong?

High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago

WTF? "can i call you Joe?"

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

Can I call you Barbie?

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

ha!

High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago

PBS here....

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Well, ABC right away complied by setting the bar low for Palin. If she manages to speak a clear, complete sentence, they'll likely pretend she is the winner.

FreakOfNurture · 1 year ago

Anyone catch Barney Frank v oLiely? That will make a great viral video. Frank says he's "either not listening or too stupid to understand" a couple of times.

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

Call me Joe!

PBS here.
And you can already see the difference with the previous debate with the speed of their speech compared to the previous debate.

Rab · 1 year ago

Is that a dayglow jeweled flag pin on her?

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

And her Blue Star mother pin. I already have an upset stomach.

AND SHE JUST LIED! McCain did not suspend his campaign.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Well okay, Sarah....you suddenly discovered that people are in fear. Now she is trying to claim that McCain is the reform candidate. . .apparently despite his record. But Republicans are quite adept at pretending they have different records - and this debate appears set up to do nothing but score propaganda points rather than engage.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Go to a kid's soccer game? Oh please Jesus...

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Can I call ya Joe?

dad · 1 year ago

that's 2 "reforms" 3 more and i'll have a PALIN

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

She said "betcha" already!

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

i heard her drop an "ng" on a participle. DRINK-UP

PeteWa · 1 year ago

lol, that cracked me up moreleesafer.

dacnova · 1 year ago

Can you do a better link to Tom Toles online sketch cartoon? It's about how "high" the bar was set for Palin.

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

She has a fair bit of fear in her eyes, honestly.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

wink! dear god...

Rab · 1 year ago

She bullshits badly.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

This woman is full of sh*t. . .LOL. Her explanation is hilarious...and now she goes into the "we are mavericks". . .oh yeah, Sarah...Miss Bridge to Nowhere.

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

CNN People Meter up, up, up when SP talks about soccer moms' fears; down, down, down when she brags about McCain.

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

"soccer mom's fears"

Is this what our level of political discourse has come to?

dad · 1 year ago

PALIN!

that's 5 "reform"s

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Maverick. Check.

Webster · 1 year ago

I hope my head doesn't explode listening to her lies.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

Biden needs to blame the crisis on john McCain and his top guy Gramm. nonstop

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Why does Joe have to make this an actual debate; what is GI doing here?

Rab · 1 year ago

Palin bingo card filling up quickly!

benb · 1 year ago

All I need is 'Earmarks'!

lucky hussein · 1 year ago

joe has to nail here on this..., please joe...it was the deregulation, please joe...

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Joe 6-pack. Check.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

Joe six-pack! Hockey moms! I'm gagging.

nikto · 1 year ago

Is it just me, but I can't stand the sound of her voice--It is excruciating!

She could kill Godzilla with that voice.

Palin's voice=The Oxygen Destroyer

Listening to her suffocates me!

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

What responsibility did Palin teach her daughter?

Peacechickmary · 1 year ago

That hair bobbing up and down in her eye is weirding me out.

debrazza · 1 year ago

Joe Biden is getting his ass kicked. I'd hate to say it, but it is true. What is wrong wiith his voice? His eyes?

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

I was thinking the exact opposite.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

her comments will register better with "avg families" and she sounds closer to them, more like them.... Biden needs to be tougher

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Biden is playing it nice 'n steady.

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

please stop saying 'darn right'

dad · 1 year ago

you betcha

nikto · 1 year ago

I wish she would screw up and say, "fuck" or "shit" or "Moose-Maw" or something.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

I don't think Biden is getting his butt kicked. He dealing with a woman who is a professional liar.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

Before anyone starts shouting "Bingo!' just remember I have already declared myself the winner. I am armed and dangerous.

DAB · 1 year ago

She obviously took a lesson from Obama's debate performance, and is "speaking directly to voters" (i.e., speaking to the camera with the red light on it).

Rab · 1 year ago

Now she's just lying.

lucky hussein · 1 year ago

palin is teaching me the meanng of hate.. she is such a lying nazi it is truly amazing..

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

Nice retort Joe! How about answering the fucking question there, Sarah?

Peacechickmary · 1 year ago

She's one of the best bull shitters I have ever heard.

DAB · 1 year ago

Palin's debate strategy: non sequiturs for the win.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Ok....Biden goes after Palin. Palin is trying to push the GOP talking point of raising taxes. . . and now she is going to pretend to "talk straight" to the American people. Oh...now she is the big tax reformer in Alaska. So how come Alaska needed so much federal tax money?

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

Watching CNN. Biden's chart thingy on the bottom is flatlining. Though, Palin's is doing the same right now.

grandma · 1 year ago

She might not answer the questions?!?!!!

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

She's a good liar.

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

oh, SNAP Joe called her on not answering the de-regulation question.

Rab · 1 year ago

Speak to the middle class Joe, you can't go wrong.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

yes, lets talk about that history Gov Palin, the great deficit you left your small town, the huge lobbying expenditures to achieve the greatest per capita earmarks around, and how you gladly took money for that bridge to nowhere

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

The CNN People Meter plummeted when SP said she wouldn't answer the questions JB and GI wanted. Talking directly to the American people (she such a debate maverick!) means copping out of the debate, I guess.

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

God, her hairstyle looks like Elvira's.

henrythefifth · 1 year ago

She's lookin' pretty smug when he's speaking.

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Joe! Over here! Look at the camera! Look at me! Don't let her have exclusive use of this technique, dude!

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH PRINCIPAL????

Are you kidding me?????

Rab · 1 year ago

She truly is clueless.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

She's having a conversation with someone named Government.

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

Talking points. More talking points.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

Gov't is such a problem Alaska needs to succeed!

grandma · 1 year ago

She's sounding too rehearsed.

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

yup.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

God she is clueless. She's a Limbaugh puppet.

dacnova · 1 year ago

My college macro economics class was a LONG time ago, but what is Palin talking about that small businesses will be hit by the higher taxes for income over $250K? If a business owner earns over $250K after payroll and other expenses, then yes, that's fair. But if the business makes $250K, the business is not a personal tax filer. She obviously doesn't understand economics.

benb · 1 year ago

Yeah, she's trying to scare people.

Rab · 1 year ago

He is chewing her up, she is just reciting from memory, its why she won't answer the question.

dad · 1 year ago

i don't want my healthcare benefits taxed

grandma · 1 year ago

Joe knows his stuff !!!!

WadeMD · 1 year ago

Holy shit! Bridge to nowhere. LOL

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere!1 Joe, I love you!

nsr · 1 year ago

Can't a grown woman keep her hair out of her eyes? She looks like a ditz.

grandma · 1 year ago

Wow....she is in over her head here

cbecker · 1 year ago

Why do I feel like she is talking to us like we are in pre-school or kindergarten?

lucky hussein · 1 year ago

she is pouring on the folksy, it could crash big...

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Men and women are responding VERY differently now on the CNN chart

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

She is a rabid right winger...god, the cliches coming out of her mouth.."redistribution of wealth". . .good god. This isn't a candidate...shes a walking deceitful, wingnut "christian" robot.

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

Blinking lights! He does kind of trip on his words a lot...but he is coming off as a regular guy, to me at least.

grandma · 1 year ago

Yes he is....a regular guy not a rehearsed robot

Rab · 1 year ago

She is reciting from memory, plain and simple.

lucky hussein · 1 year ago

she took on the oil companies? - BURY HER JOE

houstonray · 1 year ago

Has she answered ANY question yet? Jesus...I love seeing the question on the screen (watching CNN) and hear her babbling about something unrelated...

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

I expect her to yell out "Okay kids! Nap time!" any second.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

the oil co ceos "are doing what they need to do"?!?! in ripping off America or causing pollution?

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

This bitch is an ultramaroon! I think she just claimed she broke up oil monopolies--news to me.

grandma · 1 year ago

Avoided the question again.

dandeelyon · 1 year ago

How many times has she NOT answered the question?

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Yep..she's fu*king up now. . .LOL. And the flipflop claim about Obama? Is this woman serious?

She's all about stopping greed and corruption. . .as long as it's not hers. Biden should point out her own history of scandals.

Rufus · 1 year ago

But, she's purdy and speaks swell.

scottinsf · 1 year ago

Yup. There's your energy expert folks. Minute after minute of rambling gibberish that made absolutely no sense.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Thanks Sarah...America didn't know there was corruption and greed on Wall Street. Now what did you do as governor to tackle this problem?

grandma · 1 year ago

she's giving a speech now??

greyroadster · 1 year ago

Perfect! Biden needs to show her record is not what McCain advocates for policy, that they are far apart on beliefs.

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

The CNN People Meter seems to be registering a lot of boredom during the flurry of figures trotted out by both candidates. It goes down even more when she talks about Alaska. Ohioans don't, apparently, give a rat's ass about that place...

Rab · 1 year ago

Corruption on Wall Street? Just happened? John McCain fixed the problem? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

lucky hussein · 1 year ago

folksy b**tch crashes, film at 11..

mccainbush08 · 1 year ago

I'm so gosh darned proud to run with John McCain.

In a world gone insolvent, an unstoppable force travels from our past to destroy our future. He is . . . The Deregulator.

http://snipurl.com/3xln8


He's the star of America’s least favorite reality game show: Drop the Regulations!

http://snipurl.com/3xlop

Donna_MC · 1 year ago

Can she just answer the question?

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Donna, that was a rhetorical question, right?

Donna_MC · 1 year ago

darn right it was

Kcunac · 1 year ago

I give her credit for memorizing her talking points well but she's boring and has nothing to say. Poor little lamb, she'll sleep for a week after tonight. Vice Presidential debating is hard.

cephas · 1 year ago

She just said, "It's a toxic mess on MAIN STREET that has affected WALL STREET." That's backward, right? :)

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Whatsup with Palin and her calling herself a "mainstreater." Uh, Biden and his wife make less money than the Palins! The Palins just got caught making more than one million dollars. Uh, they aren't middle class like she just claimed!

blues88 · 1 year ago

Joe is looking at the camera at just the right times - when he looks at Gwen he addresses her by name... Palin looks way to rehearsed and her gaze in the camera is too overboard.

IamSmartypants · 1 year ago

She may be reciting talking points, but she's coming across very smoothly. Disturbingly well.

I really dislike this format, though Gwen Ifil seems to be flexible about letting them respond to one another.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

McCain's team got them to change to this format to benefit Palin.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Biden is`smart to be making John McCain's cluelessness about the economy the issue.

Rab · 1 year ago

Biden is more spontaneous.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Here she avoids again...she spurts a lie and then runs to something else. This woman is incompetent.

Rev_Sacrilege · 1 year ago

God, this bitch scares me. She's not saying anything, but I can see the soccer moms across America swooning.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Sarah's brain is starting to hiccup.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

I wanna talk about energy vs. your ticket's energy also.

I don't know why she's always on about black gold with that silver tongue.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

Happy birthday Jacki-and a very merry un-birthday to the rest of us. Here we go-drill baby drill!

dandeelyon · 1 year ago

ooooooooohhhhhh....she just alienated the entire East coast...

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

But no one lives on the east coast. Except half the population of the US.

WadeMD · 1 year ago

ANSWER THE QUESTION GOVERNOR!!!!!!

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Alaska! Alaska! Alaska!

I'm starting to understand how Jan Brady felt.

Peacechickmary · 1 year ago

Sounds like a tour guide at DisneyWorld.

houstonray · 1 year ago

On CNN they have a ticker that shows uncommitted men and women voters and every time she doesn't answer the actual quesiton, her lines with both men and women, plummets...

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

It's a little annoying that she is not even bothering with the question again...what does CNN show when she completely ducks the question?

houstonray · 1 year ago

Her lines go waaaay down...

Rab · 1 year ago

Alaskaaaaaaaaaaa. Keep yakking about it Barbie.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Energy independence was recognized back in the late 1970's. What have the Republicans done about it for the last 25 years and through 20 years of Republican rule?

donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago

Sharia's flag pin is much bigger than Joe's. I bet it cost a helluva lot more too. She wins the dabate!

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Gwen Ifill just let Sarah do her canned talking points and filibuster with it without answering the question. Isn't it the JOB of the moderator to reign in a candidate who tries to side step questions??? Has the ref been worked?

dandeelyon · 1 year ago

Well, now she's just throwing out words...

bluestockton · 1 year ago

She did the beauty-queen strut when she came out on stage. Where was her sash?

Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago

wtf she is not answering the questions...everyone take 3 shots

houstonray · 1 year ago

I'll be drunk by halftime if I did that...

blues88 · 1 year ago

I can not follow her to save my life

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Oh come on, Sarah. . .Republicans love pollution.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Is she hard to follow or am I just forgetting my jabberwocky?

nsr · 1 year ago

She just said we can't attribute man's activities to the climate change. Again.

Rab · 1 year ago

Biden answers the question, Palin does not. Biden is smart to keep on McCain.

FreakOfNurture · 1 year ago

Is she a governor? Good thing she keeps reminding me.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Not just a Governor, but a Governor of Alaska. She will remind you of that, too.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

GWEN IFILL - Referee successfully worked. Ifill SUCKS!

Rab · 1 year ago

Agreed Ifill is terrible.

canuck55 · 1 year ago

She is a blithering idiot that is stringing together random phrases to run out the clock.
Please tell me that people are seeing her for the idiot that she is.

Ginger_FL · 1 year ago

This is the first debate my husband has ever watched....
He is laughing his head off....he recognizes her lines from the curic interview and can't believe she isn't answering any questions.

Rab · 1 year ago

Coverall on the bingo Drill, Baby Drill.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

"Drill baby drill". . .huh? But Sarah...isn't Canada funding the pipeline? Drill, baby drill. . .omg. LOLOL

dacnova · 1 year ago

did she just call Joe "Senator O'Biden" (and he grinned?)

Kcunac · 1 year ago

If I read the CNN people line, Biden is starting to appeal more, but largely because she's lurched into platitudes and he fires back with facts.

The 'it's drill baby drill' comment sunk her with women.

WadeMD · 1 year ago

Senator O'Biden? HUH?
Nucular?

ZennButtKicker (tlhwraith) · 1 year ago

If you're watching CNN, women just don't like her very much.

donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago

...."America and our international ALLEYS" ???

LunaStick · 1 year ago

Can she talk any faster? Her coaches need to be fired.

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

I want Gwen to ask her the Flintstones question. Human footprints in the dino's prints? That's the ticket!

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

drill, baby, drill. . ..is she now talking about her husband?

Milli · 1 year ago

Thanks. Now I have that image stuck in my head.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

At least it isn't an image of John and Cindy...

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Is there a moderator for this debate or a newsreader? Gwenn Ifill can redirect can't she? She can ask the candidate to ANSWER HER DAMNED QUESTION and not let her filibuster using canned talking points?

dandeelyon · 1 year ago

What "all of the above" approach...

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Palin got a BIG positive response on CNN for advocating drilling for US oil.

Milli · 1 year ago

Buh Bye Sarah Dipstick! You are so over your head.

dacnova · 1 year ago

Woo Hoo! Joe on gay issues! Can't wait to see Sarah O'Palin's answer.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Biden scored OK on the gay benefits question with both men and women.

Jim Olson · 1 year ago

Oh, he said marriage.

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

Voter reaction on CNN is interesting on same sex question

Donna_MC · 1 year ago

She mispronounced nuclear

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Mix 'n match from the Bingo Card: SP leaps away from climate change to energee indiepidince. I am baffled by the bullshit... GI needs to get tougher on getting her to answer the question. 60 more minutes of this crap!

Rab · 1 year ago

Biden hits a home run, Same-sex benefits is a right that cannot be denied.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Wow...Palen believes Americans should have the right to choose their own relationships. . .they just aren't entitled to any sort of legal rights.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

partners they deem best for themselves??

ndtovent · 1 year ago

OOOO the gay marriage question.. Palin f**d this one up

greyroadster · 1 year ago

we're informed. for people with less knowledge she may appear well-versed in a topic important to her state; they may not now it is rehersed. she is not blowing this yet.

canuck55 · 1 year ago

Gwen is one very tame moderator.Too tame.
Oh yeah, the ref has been worked.

martha · 1 year ago

Yes, I used to really admire her. But she is so afraid. I'm not the best person in the world. But if I had the chance to question these candidates, I would not be so timed.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Oh, gee, thank you for being TOLERANT and allowing me to pick my partner, Mrs. Palin! I would hate for someone with all your power NOT being tolerant! I mean you ARE the queen of the universe of Alaska, right? SNARK!

greyroadster · 1 year ago

traditional marriage = shotgun (or whatever it is she uses to shoot wolves and moose)

greyroadster · 1 year ago

good, foreign policy. for every country she names, i want Biden to ask her to identify its form of gov't, and name 3 bordering countries... and if he has a pocket map, whip it out and ask her to point to it ;)

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

Toss them gays under the bus! :(

FreakOfNurture · 1 year ago

Did she just not say "some of my best friends are gay"?

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

The SURGE!! In Eye-rack!

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Wow..Palin is thankful we have a plan formulated by heroes. Now I KNOW it's her husband she was directing that "drill baby drill" remark to. . .

High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago

both don't support gay marriage??? WTF????

did they both just throw homo's under the bus??

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

correct. Neither ever has. You didn't know that?

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Ifill: "Wonderful. You're both against gay marriage."
Fuck you Ifill.

canuck55 · 1 year ago

The Iraq and such as.....
Down to pre-surge numbers??

blues88 · 1 year ago

Gwen sucks... have her answer a question!

Rab · 1 year ago

She can't answer the question about Iraq.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Why did Gwen ask Senator Biden to not nuance his answer to Gay Marriage? Did she know what his answer was going to be already? I don't think so!

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

SP flatlining on Iraq

IamSmartypants · 1 year ago

Tire marks on my back. Fuck both of them for the moment. I really don't like being a second class citizen.

dacnova · 1 year ago

I gritted my teeth and told myself Obama and O'Biden have to say that BS until after the election, then they can have a revelation that a civil marriage license isn't Holy Matrimony.

donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago

"...and the surge, which has worked..." Bwaahahaha!

Outraged2 · 1 year ago

We're at pre-surge troop levels??? I don't think soooo....

benb · 1 year ago

She hasn't explained what Exit Strategy ....nevermind...thank you Joe Biden

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

The CNN People Meter loves Joe when he talks about the Eye-rack Exit Strategy (and doesn't like her).

ZennButtKicker (tlhwraith) · 1 year ago

Iraq, Palin just lost her talking points. Umm.......

Mark217 · 1 year ago

I really loathe this Palin creature.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Uh-oh. . .Sarah is faltering. All that is left in her hand is her fear card. My...even coached GOP lies have their limit. . .

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

SP just went way below the line on CNN.

Rab · 1 year ago

She can only use cliche to answer Iraq. The wrong cliche.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

She did not score on Iraq... barely OK with men, down with women.

DeppFan · 1 year ago

"Eye-Racki"

"Nucular"

I can't take 4 more years of this.

houstonray · 1 year ago

WOW, her lines went WAAAAY negative when she mentioned the 'white flag of surrender'...

greyroadster · 1 year ago

should have asked her what we were surrendering - a presence in a civil war or the endless financial burden.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

"... talibani are working with us" ? huh?

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Biden got a FAR better response than Palin for his Iraq answer.

scottinsf · 1 year ago

She's starting to get a bit snatchy now. Her phony folksy charm she started out with seems to be slipping away.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Well, the whole, "I blow kisses to John McCain in the Senate well!" love lines from Biden JUST bit him in the ass! I know, eventually, Palin would use Biden's public love of McCain against him.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

OMG...slap her down, Joe!!

WDemDem · 1 year ago

Gwen Ifil is being an idiot letting Palin say whatever she wants and not calling her out

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

Ask Palin what the capital of Pakistan is!

houstonray · 1 year ago

I swear to God, I hate that word "THE HOMELAND"...

DeppFan · 1 year ago

Me too - sounds like a phrase that Hitler coined.

ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago

or Orwell

phaet2112 · 1 year ago

Glad to see Joe can't contain his feistiness

Rab · 1 year ago

Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, this is the bread and butter of Biden. Palin is just clueless.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

If Gwen Ifill hadn't been played by Republicans maybe we would have heard something besides a canned memorized answer from Palin!

WindmillChasr · 1 year ago

"I believe Al Qaida leaders"

donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago

Notice how Joe is debating JOHN, not Sarah. Demeaning, but the adult equivalent of a child (McCain) not looking his opponent in the eye.

ZennButtKicker (tlhwraith) · 1 year ago

dead wrong. By addressing McCain, Joe is very smart. He's sidestepping the appearing as looking like he's beating up Palin, by beating up McCain in ethergy.

Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago

Palin agreed withn Osama bin ladin

houstonray · 1 year ago

She's name dropping evil dictators!!

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

She said nucular again. She is a proud graduate of the George Bush School of Foreign Policy.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

omg...now she is trying to be a Bush-bot. . .LOL. She is so out-of-touch...too much time on that taxpayer-provided tanning bed.

greyroadster · 1 year ago

ask her to name a 4th leader...PLEASE!!!!

cephas · 1 year ago

NUUUKUUUler!! hic hic hic

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Oh my God, Sarah says "Nuc-ular!" instead of "Nuc-LEAR!" My God, do all ignorant Republicans say NUCULAR rather than Nuc-LEAR?!!?

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Nucular Eye-ran! And Petraeus and Bin Laden are in agreement! (The CNN People Meter goes down and down).

Rab · 1 year ago

They hate us for our freedoms....Sarah Bush.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Diplomacy is "hard work by serious people." Well, that just eliminated her candidacy.

dacnova · 1 year ago

She just said "hard work"

houstonray · 1 year ago

Back ye up there?? WTF?

gumbygirl · 1 year ago

yeah, that made me spit wine through my nose!

grandma · 1 year ago

Did she just contradict herself on diplomacy??

Stevious · 1 year ago

why does she sound like she's reading her talking points from freerepublic.com?

Kcunac · 1 year ago

I don't think she's failing in her quest, but she does appear wooden and rehearsed. And she can't do folksy and rehearsed at the same time.

DeppFan · 1 year ago

"You betcha!"

Donna_MC · 1 year ago

Funny she brought up respect for women's rights.

nsr · 1 year ago

Say what you will- she does know how to say Ahmadinijad. Got the President beat there.

cephas · 1 year ago

It took McCain three tries to say it last week!

WindmillChasr · 1 year ago

SPAIN!!!!

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain! LOL -- she looked pissed off at that. She also looked like she wasn't sure why, but that was definitely a dirty check hockey mom glare.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Gwen SUCKS... No ability to moderate whatsoever. Canned questions and let the candidate fillibuster. Nice work, Gwen.

Thank white folks for Ifill's behavior. Black folks are so scared of being called "reverse racist", that they'll do damn near anything white folks say.

Every white person who's ever said "reverse racism" in propia persona is to blame for this.

Kcunac · 1 year ago

Ifill is pointless.

We both love Israel. Granted, last week I didn't know where that was.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

I think Presidential / Vice Presidential debates are WAY too important to allow just "one moderator" to fail to MODERATE the debate. Ifill obviously got SCARED of looking too tough on Palin. She has YET to draw Palin back to answering the DAMNED question.

ZennButtKicker (tlhwraith) · 1 year ago

Gawd again with this crapola statement. This is the same thing people said about Obama, and you saw the results afterwards. Biden and Obama have a very clear strategy, let their opponents look mean and desperate. They are right, people are noticing. Like one commentor said, McCAin/Palin may get the zingers, but Obama/Biden are getting the votes.

Turn on CNN and watch the reaction lines. Biden is consistantly doing better than Palin.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

We really don't need another Vice President who celebrates ignorance. McCain doesn't ruffle feathers by being a "maverick"..he ruffles feathers by throwing a spoiled brat's temper tantrum.

She goes back to Afghanistan b/c she has notes on it.

Ifill did not bring her back to the topic at hand once when she went to her notes.

Oh, and NOW Ifill allows Biden to talk about nuclear weapons AND Afghanistan. Nice try, Gwen. You are so kissing Palin's ass tonight!

Wonder why Ifill doesn't pull what she did with Biden when she asked him not to nuance the answer, and ask Palin to ANSWER THE DAMNED QUESTION ASKED instead of reading her note cards!

Palin is a NEWSREADER!

Is it just me, or did palin finally get a question that she didn't know anything about?? Nuclear weapon use???

Ah, the solution, finally. We need to surge in Afghanistan too!

And really, can't we please retire "they hate us for our freedom"? Like Maher says, "No, they hate us for our bombs"

Hey, Sarah Twit, notice how Biden, someone with brains, pronounces the word, "NUCLEAR?"

Rab · 1 year ago

Major theme of this debate: Too bad for Palin (Ignored the questions asked)

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Palin isn't able to defend John McCain. She looks confused about his record...which means she wasn't briefed about McCain and foreign policy beyond GOP talking points.

kh7463 · 1 year ago

I wonder if Iliff got promised something by the McCain campaign for ignoring Palin's answers in return for the "notariety" of being the moderator, instead of being replaced.

benb · 1 year ago

Damn Biden is good! Damn!

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

"9:57 PM: Huh? Her answer on nuclear weapons wasn't even coherent. And now she's answering a question about nuclear weapons by talking about Afghanistan. And where is Gwen "I died an hour ago" Ifill? Nowhere to be found."

Oh no, Gwen isn't dead! Palin stopped stumbling around and asked Gwen if she could read comments about Afghansitan off her note cards and Gwen Ifilll, afraid of being criticized by the McCain camp, said sure, Governor! Then, Gwen asked Biden the same question but then added, "You can also talk about Afghanistan..." Uh, thanks Gwen! That was real nice of ya!

ZennButtKicker (tlhwraith) · 1 year ago

Like Thatcher said: Being powerful is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

KISSman · 1 year ago

She is soulless. Nothing she says comes from her own brain. It's all prepared material. She doesn't display a knowledge of ANY of the issues; she only displays the capacity to memorize answers.

Joe Biden CLEARLY understands the issues and everything he says comes from his brain. You can envision him as President of the United States. Can the same be said about Sarah Palin? God no...

By the way, for the record, Obama has stated on many occasions that he is for THE SAME FEDERAL BENEFITS for gay couples in civil unions as straight couples who are married. He believes that gay and straight couples should get the same federal benefits,including social security survivor benefits.

Gwen is protecting Palin completely. People talked about McCain calling out Ifill as being another example of his erratic behavior ... Ho boy, there goes crazy John again ... but I think it was 100% calculated now. Ifill is kissing Palin's ass because she's afraid to prove McCain right. "Oh my god, what if he calls me a ... a ... liberal??"

The media won't criticize the moderation though. I doubt you'll hear boo about them calling out one of their own.

I've never seen a more pitiful, sophomoric performance than what Ifill is giving. She is the worst of the worst. You could have a cardboard cutout with a recording behind it, spewing the questions ,and it would be just as effective

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

If Biden learns anything tonight, I hope he learns that saying he, "Loves, Honors and Respects" John McCain won't be stuck in his ass and broken off every time by his Republican opponent! Palin has zinged him SEVERAL times by throwing those sweet nothings back in his face! I've YET to hear McCain return the love. I hope he has learned his lesson, and ALL DEMOCRATS learn it DOES NOT PAY to be nice to Republicans.

Biden, I think, is actually a more polished debater than Obama (I love Obama!). Palin can't disconnect "Maverick" John McCain from his 90% of support for High Functioning Moron Bush. It would be OK if other people described Palin and McCain and "Mavericks." When Palin continually uses that word as a self-description monicker it sounds really lame. She criticizes Biden for looking at the past, then she criticizes Obama's and Biden's past records.

Well, cowboyneok, i have to agree with you on ifil, total washout. she totally let palin run over her. I'm not saying Biden did well. or was GREAT either. he was mediocre. Certainly he is alot smarter on the issues. but he didnt "win" me over and want to say yeah at the TV: fuck u palin, eat that!!! not once. clearly he let palin run him over. her condescending attitude was terrible and unprofessional and Biden just laughed.... the pit pull attacked, attacked, attacked and he just laughed and smiled.

Originally didn't think that Biden could 'win' this debate. I mostly believed that Palin would either impress the pundits & 'win' or she'd blow it. I wasn't a fan of her tonight, but her performance was probably around average.

Biden, however, was VERY strong. Not perfect, but very strong and displayed a firm grasp of all the issues. When you envision which of these two people could handle being POTUS, there is only one person on that stage who you can see handling that massive responsibility.

Biden won.

BIGGEST NEWS OUT OF THE DEBATE:

Just how many times can one person repeat the same old talking point... a lot if you're a republican who will not answer the question!

But she is a good a lier!

Rob Mule · 1 year ago

First, Senator Biden was fabulous! Really great. He made me proud.
Secondly, Gwen Ifil really should be the new host of Meet the Press, she was terrific.
Thirdly and most scarily, Ms. Palin was terrifying. Couple her expanded VP power desire with her obviously masked personality with Gibson, Couric, Hannity as proved with tonight's dyed in the wool Rovian.
Though she mostly read her VP power statement off notes it was chilling none the less.
I was amused by her statement that every administration has made enormous blunders.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Did you watch the same debate I did? Gwen Ifill on MTP? Sure, you are jesting!

She let Palin fillibuster and wouldn't answer any questions! I also thought if she felt she needed to bring up GAY MARRIAGE then she should have brought up Roe vs. Wade and other more controversial subjects. How about asking Palin about how she charged rape victims for rape kits?

Wild_Weasel · 1 year ago

Palin had machine gun mouth, empty platitudes.

She was patronizing.

The woman is scary.

Sarah Palin probably wins the word count. Biden wins in substance.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

The pundits on ABC are already cooing about how wonderful Palin was. . .meaning all she had to do is manage one complete, comprehensible sentence.

I came out of this debate feeling more positive about Joe Biden than I did before. Sarah Palin is a vacuous chatterbox.

Palin wants the U.S. embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? That's unwise why antagonize Muslims more?

If you all have ever noticed - especially true with Pat Buchanan - whomever he selects as the winner immediately after one of these debates - ends up being anything but the winner in the post polls.

monkeypox · 1 year ago

Considering her disastrous interviews in the past, she did this exceptionally well. On substance, Biden won -- hands down. But Palin came across as affable. Much less the ding-bat that we are used to seeing.

I like how Biden tore McCain a new one on the "maverick" thing. I would have loved to hear Biden respond to Palin's question of "how could someone be for the war and then against it?" with "Well, it's like someone being for a 'Bridge to Nowhere' before being against it."

artisticfreedom · 1 year ago

No way is she going to significantly move the polls with that performance. I'm glad that Joe kept his cool when he had to. Restraint is really working well for us. There was one point where I wanted to scream Keating 5 while Palin commented about ending corruption. Good job Joe!

KISSman · 1 year ago

I knew I would quickly get annoyed by the post-game analysis and I'm already cranky after 15-minutes of watching it. Everything is about Sarah Palin. Good, bad or whatever, it's ALL about her. Joe Biden was basically just there so she would have someone to debate. It doesn't seem fair -- especially when they don't seem to grade these people on who seemed to be best equipt to actually be president.

Rob Mule · 1 year ago

Punditry needs to ask where Palin and McCain's anger and mean spiritedness comes from?
Also, the talking heads need to wonder where tonight's relatively poised artic fascist was hiding these last few weeks of aw shucks forays to the "press filter".
The contrast between Biden and the very aptly nicknamed Mooselini was stunningly stark.
Biden was assured and very definately a leader to make all of us proud.
Moosie's jumble of worn catch-phrases and smiley-faced knifing was ugly to see...No woman in her right mind will relate to her.

Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago

Joe was more substantial and cooperative with the moderator. He clearly won the debate, if substance matters.

Palin had memorized talking points that allowed her to dodge questions.

Coming Undone · 1 year ago

Am I the only one who hates Palin, I mean she gives that Bush sneer then she talks in Bullshit, Palin is Bush and Cheney's child.

Also Palin really does not know McCain's senate record or anything about McCain other than he was called a Maverick.

bish8 · 1 year ago

No doubt in my mind who I would rather have for VP. Sarah would have to look at her notes for every decision she might have to make. I wonder how she would have fared tonight without her notes.

lost_nacf_gop · 1 year ago

a veritable blurtfest of crammed in talking points, withered cliches and forced folksiness wrapped up in a Chinese melamine-laced cotton candy coating,and delivered by a better looking version of Marge ("Fargo") Gunderson

Sage24 · 1 year ago

It was a debate between a high pitched virago, and a intelligent gentleman.
Palin did give a few unnecessary, and ugly shots at Biden, and Biden behaved like the mature adult. She kept regurgitating her talking points and even insisted on answering them when the question was not asked. It showed that she wanted her talking points out there, whatever the subject was. She had no depth or knowledge whatsover. It was a constant repetition, and meaningless answers, with words like maverick, thrown in, at inappropriate moments.
Biden gets high marks for depth, knowledge, decency, humor, and even looked quite Presidential. Palin looked like a candidate for the mayor's office.
I am glad that Biden called her out, when she deliberately misrepresented Obama and Bidens votes, and positions.

I hope the US is spared from ever having her as its VP. It would be disastrous.

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

jebauer · 1 year ago

Biden is so much more Vice-Presidential and genuine. Seriously. Palin reminds me of one of those dolls you pull the string on and it speaks like 5 different phrases. No substance. No experience. Condescending. Of all the people who should be gracious right now... she deserves every bit of crap she gets from the media. From the convention until now all I have heard come out of her mouth (besides lies) is partisan, sarcastic, and snobby. Oh and I should add, illogical and misinformed.

mikecoatl · 1 year ago

The hell with vice, Biden looked Presidential! As much as I love Obama, a part of me wishes they would switch places on the ticket!

jebauer · 1 year ago

No way. Obama is our next President.

Sage24 · 1 year ago

May I also add that Iffil was a terrible moderator....she did not have the courage to stop Palin's meaningless ramblings, from one topic to another, and when she insisted that she did not want to answer the questions in the correct format.
Iffil, should have told Palin to stop straying, and stay on topic. Ifill, did not realize, that Palin wanted to keep to her talking points, and not answer any questions outside what she said. Iffil, was a disappointment.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

I beg to differ. I think Gwen Ifill was terrified to ask tough questions and to take Palin to task because the Repubicans made a great big deal out of the book Ifill has written about Obama and racial politics. She was terrified they would all crow that she threw the debate to Biden to sell more books. Again, we suffer at the mercy of people who live to sell books and not to work for the American people as the FOURTH ESTATE!

Had Ifill done her job it would have been more Katie Couric, and she would have pinned down BOTH CANDIDATES by making them get specific. Biden, naturally gets specific even without being pinned down. Palin was able to FAKE IT therefore she looked good to the undecided, low information voter who needed to have Palin answer questions like, "Governor Palin, are you against Roe vs. Wade?" "Governor Palin, why did you charge rape victims for their rape kits when you were mayor of Wasilla?"

Governor Palin attempted to neutralize herself from a possibly tough debate by saying at the beginning she might not answer questions the way the moderator wanted her to. In other words, if she got redirected by the moderator, she would continue on with her talking points. Unfortunately, for the audience, Gwen Ifill sat their like a bump on the log, and even gave Palin PERMISSION to change the subject several times while then following up with Biden and FORCING HIM to comment on the angle Palin wanted to cover. For instance, the switch to the subject of Afghanistan after Palin started stumbling over the NUCULAR issue.

Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago

Just saw Palin and family at a post debate rally (on MSNBC). Her special needs infant is with them - why? I would think that any child at that age, special needs or not, should really be taken care of and at home sleeping, instead of being used as a center piece at a political rally. It's just sad.

DeppFan · 1 year ago

This last time, he was awake, but looked exhausted. We know she has an infant. No need to parade him around this late at night. The 7 year old daughter was carrying him. She should be in bed too! Bristol, on the other hand, should have spent less time in bed.

The real loser in this debate was John McCain. Biden was able to tear down his maverick image. Palin wasn't able to defend McCain. Palin lied about being a pitbull with lipstick. Other than helping McCain with the religious right base--Palin is useless to the McCain campaign.
