Default Neither of said...

the name of the commanding general in Afghanistan. Biden referenced the general saying the surge principal would not work in Afghanistan...a conclusion I don't agree with because this general wants 3 more brigades but he's only getting 1 by the end of the year.

Palin said his name was McClellan....funny....it's McKiernan.

More U.S. troops needed in Afghanistan 'quickly,' general says - Los Angeles Times

It's pretty easy to look good and sound good when you are reading from a script and NOTanswering questions and getting little 'digs' in on the other party. It's pretty easy to look good and sound good when you have had a good while to study the questions and memorize the McCain policy so you can read it from a script instead of answering the question.

She's doing better than I thought she would. The flip side she comes off as extremely arrogant. We'll see if she's judged as harsly for all the smirking/smiling while Biden is speaking, as McCain was. And she better be because otherwise I'm going to be offended for the double standard and I am a woman.

She has lost the edge she had with male voters watching on CNN.

OK now I gotta say BULL ROAR! If Biden became the president after Obama's demise he would NOT carry out Obama's policies. None of them would.
