The only thing she proved is that she can memorize a bunch of talking points and regurgitate them regardless of the question being asked.

Of course she didn't fall down or throw up on herself, so I suppose that could be considered an "excellent job."

I think You and the people in your home are not good at judging the truth. That was a spontaneous moment that happened to be really powerful. And you come off as incredibly crass and classless to attack that.

Very, very impressive.

Ready to vote today!

Amazing win for Sarah

So...spitting out memorized talking points and ignoring the questions asked of you is impressive? OHHHH yeah but she DID wink and smile a lot. Maybe that's what you're basing your opinion on.

How amazing, two whole questions she answered. I now feel reassured.

That is two right off the bat...

Biden was crisp and to the point.

Funny how some of you call Biden washed up and old yet McCain is older than Biden and looks like he is two seconds away from chokin on his tongue.

By the way did Palin call Biden senator Obiden. MOD CUT

You know what the difference is between the interviews and the debate. Editing.

Why? The country has already been pushed into the toilet, now you want it pushed into the sewer? Please tell me you're joking.

I started to write a long post but then didn't feel like bothering. It's just so discouraging. I was depressed after I watched it. Neither of them impressed me at all. I guess it didn't matter, since my mind is made up and these things are designed for undecided voters, I suppose, but I was still so disappointed that nothing was impressive. Pathetic.

Not true. There is one other big difference between the two: during a one-on-one interview you actually have to respond to the question asked. During a debate (as Sarah Palin demonstrated,) you can get away with ignoring the questions and selecting whatever prepared talking point you have memorized and spew it out.
