Biden V. Palin watch-along thread

Sarah looks scared to death. It shows when she isn’t sure of her answer.

After being subjected to so much ridicule for her interviews I would be scared too.

The Repubs really love businesses… I think that was a Freuidian slip there.

yep. you heard her correctly… she blew a talking point, and after a week of rehearsal too

ooooh, she’s yelling and pointing now! woot!

YES. Um, honey, we NEED China to buy our debt… God, she needed a primer on foreign financial markets.

It’s what I expected. Blind repetition of talking points. I liked Biden calling Palin on her lies, but that’s about it. That and the fact Palin cannot answer a question.

For all their concern over a moderator’s bias, it matters NOT ONE WHIT what the question is, they’re not going to answer it.

I think they made her memorize the points, and now she has to recite them in order or she’ll forget them. Questions be damned.

Climate change? Interesting.

“I’m gonna ignore your question there, and blather about energy. I like energy. Wee!”

I don’t remember anybody saying that. I think they meant a lack of real content which may be so. I expected her to be a good likable speaker. I watched the other debates she was in. Likable without a lot of real content. The after debate factcheck should be interesting.

She’s losing it on the climate change question.

If we carpeted this land from sea to shining sea with oil wells, we still wouldn’t be energy independent.

No, I literally thought that you guys meant that she was really going to start drooling.

Jesus, no. Of course, it was hyperbole. But you were wrong. She comes off looking and sounding very, very sharp here.

“How are we gonna get there to positively address those impacts”?

Shut. Up. Shut. UP and ANSWER THE QUESTION. God, she’s blathering now–she’s the Energizer Bunny.

Climate change. She’s starting to ramble.

I like how after she wasted 10 minutes talking about energy, Ifill gave her a question about…energy.

Does anyone else think that Palin is getting shakier?

I don’t wanna argue about the causes, I want to repeat my last talking point.

“Positively affect the impacts”? New catchphrase!

Has anybody given the obligatory “I’d nail her” yet? 'Cause I’ll do it if nobody else has…

ETA: I would not nail Joe Biden.
