> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > Palin sounds remarkably confident and assertive, and she hasn’t really stumbled over anything yet. I’m waiting for it to happen though… She seems nervous to me. Her nostrils are flaring, her nose is turning a bit red, her voice seems to be a little shaky. The adrenaline’s flowing. ---

I’m not SMART enough for independent though so I’ll go over what I rehearsed over the week for you homey folksy folks, gosh whillikers. ---

> [@Harborwolf](#): > > I don’t think Biden is doing well. He sounds really boring while Palin’s downhome folksiness is much more, well interesting at least if not disarming. She’s using all of Dubya’s tricks. Man, I don’t think I have enough booze for tonight. ---

Yeah it’s starting to crack, the Palin facade. “I’m not going to answer the question the way you want me to!” What the fuck is this? ---

Could she BE any more cutesy? I think I’m going to barf. And she winked at me. Ugh. Now I just feel dirty. ---

At this point, I feel it is prudent to drink everytime Biden says McCain is a good man. ---

I’ve lost the thread of her thought processes. She’s doing much better than I thought she would. I like that he pointed that she didn’t answer the question. But she’s apparently talking straight to ME. ---

> [@C3](#): > > She seems nervous to me. Her nostrils are flaring, her nose is turning a bit red, her voice seems to be a little shaky. The adrenaline’s flowing. It’s not showing much if at all. And Biden is just a simple country senator. “Where I come from it’s called fairness.” ---

So she’s not going to answer the questions, she’s just gonna talk about what ever she _wants_ to talk about? Oooooook ---
