Palin v. Biden Debate: You gonna watch?

[Kid_Eternity]

Biden really is correcting himself way too much. Just that little bit too self aware, rather than just going with it and focussing on getting the main point across.

I agree, thing is if he slips she hasn't the savvy to pick it up, and even if he did he could quip back and shut her right up. This is bloody painful TV man...

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Good answer on gay couples from Biden, into his stride, making sense but keeping it short and too the point.

 

[Diamond]

Foreign policy - this should be fun.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yup. Although she's waffling a bit.

 

[Diamond]

That was clearly learnt by rote from Palin. Unconvincing.

This is supposed to Biden's strong point.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Woah, big stumble from Palin.

"Um...."

 

[Diamond]

Thinking back to Palin and Biden's supposed shared ground on same-sex couples. That won't play at all well among Christian conservatives.

I think that's what Biden was trying to imply, to make her out to be a bit of a fake fundy thereby adding a wedge...? Maybe?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lots of attacking and mud-slinging going on

 

[Diamond]

Did anyone see the first presidential debate?

If so, better or worse?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That was better than this.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Past is prologue. Great brush off!

 

[Detroit City]

That was better than this.

yea this is snooze city man, thank god there's only one vp debate

 

[Lord Camomile]

Biden seems to like to say things twice.

Let me say that again: Biden seems to like to say things twice.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

LOL! True, but at least he's within a few miles of answering questions.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well quite, the only time Palin makes reference to the questions is when she dismisses them.

More 'outsider' talk.

 

[Lord Camomile]

lol, "I watched those debates" - "see, I am interested in this politics things".

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Palin comes across a bit unhinged.

 

[Detroit City]

but she's wearing nice shoes

 

[Lord Camomile]

Palin comes across a bit unhinged.

No, no, no - she's a maverick

Have you not been reading her press notes

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Nah she's got a marble or three missing. Heh check out the Tweets: http://election.twitter.com/

 

[Kid_Eternity]

good fucking answer by Biden on the role of the VP.

 

[Detroit City]

her answer to the question about her inexperience was total bullshit..."yea i'm a mom, and my marriage, mayor, raising kids..."

 

[Kid_Eternity]

You know i really can't believe that Palin actually made a jokey reference to Biden's dead wife ealier...what a fucktard.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did she really?? I must have missed that

 

[Diamond]

Yep. Petty (would it be sexist to say bitchy?) attempt at a wind up.

 

[Detroit City]

good fucking answer by Biden on the role of the VP.

indeed

 

[Lord Camomile]

Biden was quick to jump on that last question.

 

[Lord Camomile]

She's just not as polished a politician, it's all a bit like an election for president of the PTA - everything is positive, there are no weaknesses, mimicing other politicians she's heard on the news...

 

[Diamond]

Biden's finishing strongly IMO.
