Clearly Biden won. Sara sounded like she was just saying the same lines over and over and over again and was coached to bring whatever she has to say back to "maverick" blah blah blah.
I already made up my mind, but I watched and listen to EVERY word that she and Biden said. She is hard to understand as she seems to talk in nonsensical circles... and again.. rehearsed.
Come on.. can you really see a president standing in front of other world leaders saying You betcha ! And the use of Joe Six pack!
Biden did an excellent job of reminding us that the McCain and Palin ticket really have policies NO DIFFERENT than the failed policies if Bush.
So far this poll is way out of wack with what I am seeing in other polls in the news, where Sarah Palin was voted the winner by a margin of about 70% to 30%.
I don't know where you're reading or what you're smoking but even Right leaning Fox News shows that Palin lost the debate.
Maybe you should have been on here last night after the debate. Dems including myself were giving Palin the she held her ground. Job well done but she didn't win. Don't come on here in the early morning after you missed the party and everyone is drunk trying to make sense of whats going on. We gave credit where it was due but we're still not going to vote for her b/c of last night though.
Yeah, I was here last night and I saw everyone claiming Biden won. I saw ONE Dem admit that they were surprised and that she did well. Don't know what party you were at last night that Palin was being given kudos by the Dems, but it certainly wasn't here.
I am sure Palin impressed many village idiots and simpletons like herself all across the nation last night. I thought she did better than expected with her extremely rehearsed, robotic answers but her white trash mannerisms turn me off. I could never vote for some simple minded idiot that uses expressions like "Joe Six Pack" "Heckava a lot" and "Ya betcha". Way too tacky!!
Yes, and I said below that there was ONE Dem poster who posted that she did well. I didn't recall who it was but remembered the thread. That must have been you. What I saw from everyone else (Obama supporters) was critical of her.

After the interviews can you blame them?
In what way did Palin perform well in the debates? because expectations were so low? hmmm? explain this to me, please!
1) The debate was catered to her because the rules were changed. The candidates couldnt argue with each other.
2) The GOP attacked Gwen. And thus she only tossed easier questions. And she didnt probe at all.
3) Palin avoided answering questions often. She didnt give any examples. She didnt go into details. She was reading.
Exactly. She didn't even answer the questions asked! Just went into her prepared material. There were several times where she was asked a question and just went into a whole spiel about something totally different. I think she did a LOT better than she did on the interviews she's been doing lately, but anyone who declares her the "winner" of this debate should take off their rose colored glasses.
Biden with his "experience" ticket and knowledge on the topics clearly won the debate, however the real winner of the one and only VP debate was surprise, Palin ... along with her "folksy" accent and "beauty queen" image, a whooping 84% polled thought she did better than she should have. It's how TV works folks, since the days of the JFK-Nixon debate, while Palin played the part of the "reformer" in the year of "Change", Biden was simply put as "just another politician" by 70% according CNN.

The fact that she didn't make a total ass out of herself shouldn't be reason enough to give her the win..Yes.. a lot of people thought she'd be a lot worse. She had a very low bar to reach for herself. But in the context of a VP debate on one of the most important elections of our time, without at doubt she does not belong there.
If you want to compare a woman to a woman, compare her to Hillary Clinton.. and there, well is no comparison between the two. Palin can not hold her own, she is FAR from presidential, she speaks in nonsensical circles and all that cutsie pootsie stuff just doesn't work. I can't see her sitting down with other leaders of the world and saying "you betcha" with a wink and a smile.
Not to take away anything from what she does.. I'm sure she does a great job there in Alaska , but this is the big leagues now and she's just not big league material.
Have we really lowered our standard to suite her ..saying that she did "good" because she didn't completely bomb.
