    ReplyDelete
  3. Didn't Palin's kid get knocked up in public school?

    ReplyDelete
  4. that was awful.

    ReplyDelete
  5. She got briefed on Government 101.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Dave3544: In the last thread you said, "Men seem to have changed on their opinion of Palin."

    Expand.

  7. governor, I know lame jokes. I served with lame jokes. you governor, are a seriously lame joke.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Damn. Joe knows what the fuck he's gonna do. All Palin can demonstrate is that she knows what the VP does.

    ReplyDelete
  9. please suggest you are ready to take over if you had to!

    ReplyDelete
  10. when I was watching before, men were above women in approval...not so when I turned back.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Biden is kicking ass on the issue of giving the president useful advice.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Pretty sure there isn't much flexibility in the Constitution about the veep. Executive? Legislative? Hell, judicial, while we're at it.

    Finally, Biden has a good answer. Fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  13. dave3544 -- I wondered. Earlier I noticed that women tended to lead men in approval of anything (not that I commented about it), but it does seem that men are less approving of Palin than at the beginning. May reflect the switch to nat'l security.

  14. court: you don't think biden's been doing well?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'd like to have a conversation with Palin about grammar.

    ReplyDelete
  16. no, courtney is courtney. i know who cps is.

    ReplyDelete
  17. "cps is not court"

    Not nearly.

    ReplyDelete
  18. no I am not, but I think Courtney is court

    ReplyDelete
  19. do you know who JGB is? and why do they keep playing?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hate to go against the grain, but I don't think he's doing very well. I'm trying to imagine what my Dad (and Mom) are thinking watching this though...

    CPS (Courtney)

    ReplyDelete
  21. does she know that reagan was quoting "citty on a hill"? I know it doesn't matter, but seriously, does she know?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Some might say I'm disadvantaged by my devastating good looks, but enough about me.

    ReplyDelete
  23. my bad. sorry. didn't see her sneak in there.

    I blame myself.

    And the rye.

    ReplyDelete
  24. You know, Biden actually is reluctant to talk about his wife and daughter. I appreciate that he's willing to do it.

    Wow, he almost choked up. That was real.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think people are going to notice she keeps giving the same five answers.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I wonder what the mavericks think about women's rights? I want a question specifically about reproductive rights.....

    ReplyDelete
  27. I wonder what the mavericks think about women's rights? I want a question specifically about reproductive rights.....

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yeah - I don't think you could actually coach that. Joe gave a heartfelt answer.

    ReplyDelete
  29. "he is the man that we need to leave."

    finally, palin says something about mccain that i can agree with.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I can't belive she said maverick again

    ReplyDelete
  31. YES!! finally. Take on the fucking maverick-ness.

    sorry for the double.

    ReplyDelete
  32. maverick he is not!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think a lot of low information voters are going to connect with Biden based on that answer (about his wife and daughter and Palin's child).

    ReplyDelete
  34. damn, where is katie couric when you need her? not one gotcha journalism question.....

    ReplyDelete
  35. If, that is, they haven't turned the channel by now.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I agree dr...that could be the defining moment of this debate

    ReplyDelete
  37. nope, never changed her mind!

    ReplyDelete
  38. She's sorry she didn't get to veto a budget? Yeesh.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Kind of a surprising debate. Palin didn't gaffe, but Joe was really impressive. Hell, I can't help but call him Joe. That tells me something.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Seriously, if the primary were today, I'd vote for Biden.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Except you fire the jerks who impeded your path to power.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hopefully someone will ask McCain to name one Democrat he will appoint to the cabinet.

    ReplyDelete
  43. yes, please--let's appoint people because of their lifelong love of cows, for instance.

    ReplyDelete
  44. "Basicly, screw you Kaite Curic"

    ReplyDelete
  45. Shorter Palin: Since you are never going to see me unscripted again, I'm going to say I actually enjoyed this.

    ReplyDelete
  46. wow--the substance is overwhelming!

    ReplyDelete
  47. she talks kinda like Dusty Rhodes when she gets into the Patriotism Pocket.

    ReplyDelete
  48. what the fuck is she talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Where did McCain fight? I want to know more!

    ReplyDelete
  50. She does believe in extinction, if not evolution

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think she's reading the ending words of Red Dawn.

    ReplyDelete
  52. lex-

    she has a good elbow too

    J

    ReplyDelete
  53. Nobody better talk shit on Red Dawn!

    ReplyDelete
  54. red dawn=best line of the night. excellent

    ReplyDelete
  55. I want everyone to remember that the OG polling operation concluded that Joe Biden was "not crap", long before he proved it during this debate. Good old, Joe "not crap" Biden a vp we can believe in!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think Biden wins the closing.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The last 45 minutes, Joe was on fire.

    ReplyDelete
  58. how did you vote for biden in that poll, ez?

    ReplyDelete
  59. The Biden's had more kids/grandkids on stage, they WIN!.....

    ReplyDelete
  60. Ginger wants to know why the "first dude" never holds the baby.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Bob S. on CBS pointing out that JB had a very good night and that SP didn't answer questions.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Ummmmmm... all poll results are kept strictly confidentiational.....but if pressed, I would respond by saying I don't want to answer that question, I wanna talk about wrasslin'

    ReplyDelete
  63. this is where pbs failed during the repub convention and they are failing again - they LOVE palin.

    ReplyDelete
  64. cspan streaming.....no commentary at all......

    ReplyDelete
  65. gergen on CNN called this the best debate performance of biden's life

    ReplyDelete
  66. msnbc is jumping on palin for advocating moving the embassy to jerusalem.

    otherwise, she did well on her game plan, but didn't answer the questions.

    ReplyDelete
  67. CNN picked up on her not answering questions.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Lieberman trying to say Palin hit a homerun, but noted that Joe's moment talking about being a single parent was the memorable moment--dr hit it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. lots of "she did a great job"s from CNN

    ReplyDelete
  70. lots of "she did a great job"s from CNN

    ReplyDelete
  71. first caller said palin did well but biden did ok too...not much punditry on c-span just regular folks... lots of ummmms

    ReplyDelete
  72. Maddow didn't like her.

    Pay Buchanan is lying her ass off about how she wiped the floor with Biden. PB is citing unnamed Democratic women who thought she was teh shit.

    ReplyDelete
  73. ez: Here's what I translate that as. Biden really knew his shit, and Palin wasn't quite as dumb as they were led to believe.

    ReplyDelete
  74. dave is kind of like the Bay Buchanan of Oregon politics, in my world...

    ReplyDelete
  75. I just don't know what to think. Palin didn't suck, but Biden was very good.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I guess I think that sorta-racists who had defected to Obama based on Palin's vacuousness may now be able to talk themselves into voting for McCain.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Independent caller said support 3rd party and cynthia mckinney and gave a shout out to democracynow.org for "real news."

    and with that lame observation, this is EZ over and out......

    ReplyDelete
  78. They should have sat all those Biden kids down and given them haircuts.

  79. This shit is boring.
