The Veep Debate

[fitbabits]

Have at it, in a mature manner, of course.

[rinichanraar]

Twenty minutes! Good thing you posted this, otherwise I might've forgotten to switch channels.

So mad I can't watch it live.

[rinichanraar]

So mad I can't watch it live.

Aw, boo. Why not?

[astranoir]

I hope it is interesting and informative rather than reiterative and inane.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I wonder if this will be a thing where Palin is too embarrasing to watch.

Also, the Cubs game starts at 8:30 so I probably won't watch the whole thing.

[pomeroy]

Aw, boo. Why not?

Working at my sad part time job. I have internet access, but no sound.

[fitbabits]

I hope it is interesting and informative rather than reiterative and inane.

I expect there to be many face-in-palm moments from both candidates. I hope that Biden goes after Palin's assertion that living so close to Russia is considered 'foreign policy experience'.

Heh, now all I want to do is watch the SNL sketch where Tina Fey says she can see Russia from her house.

Haha, that could be really awkward. It would have to be much more conversation-oriented than the recent Presidential debate for this to happen though, or she could just ignore it and blather about whatever.

[rinichanraar]

My friend and I were saying it'd be crazy to do a debate drinking game: Anytime Biden says "literally" or Palin says "ya' know." But then we realized it'd probably end in alcohol poisoning. :(

[jeffbax]

All I want is for the UT announcer to be the moderator. That would make it so much more entertaining than Palin's verbal diarrhea alone :D

She is not very good at that either.

"Alcohols." Hahaha, awesome.

Okay, gramps, what do you suggest? ;)

I think a good one for last time would have been any time McCain said, "I don't think Senator Obama understands [insert something McCain things Obama doesn't understand]." But it's too late. Maybe next time.

Biden - Main Street

Palin - As mayor, then governor, of Alaska

[astranoir]

Biden - Main Street

Palin - As mayor, then governor, of Alaska

Told my roommates, they are actually doing this. Aha! Already a "Main Street!"

Maybe we should change Palin's to "barometer."

[rein]

Biden - Main Street

Palin - As mayor, then governor, of Alaska

HAHA! she's a few minutes in and already got it in once minus the of Alaska. Someone else will have to keep score. I can't make myself care enough about either of them to watch. Odds are, whichever one gets in, we will not hear much from them unless they shoot a hunting partner in the face or try to correct a grade-schoolers spelling of the word potato.

[Xerxes]

Palin is full of face palmisms. I bet McCain is watching this either drunk as a duck or pissed off as he was at his own debate.

[Blue]

This is painful.

[fitbabits]

Palin needs to quit trying to talk to the camera in soundbites and answer the questions.

Also - EYE-RACK, EYE-RAN. Man, that's annoying as hell.

[EvoG]

I just woke from a nap...to catch Palin say "...Nukular Weapons"...then I rewound a bit...yep, "...Nukular Power...Nukular Weapons".

*Dumbfounded*

[fitbabits]

Ha. "The past is prologue, right?" Classic.

It's what happens when you are coached by the same damn people.

I'm doing shots now...*gulp* ...for every mention... *gulp* ...of... *gulp* ...the word "Nukular"...

[Rogue_hunter]

My friend and I were saying it'd be crazy to do a debate drinking game: Anytime Biden says "literally" or Palin says "ya' know." But then we realized it'd probably end in alcohol poisoning. :(

I tried doing that with the McCain/Obama, it got too easy after a while. Someone had suggested putting obscure (but would probably be used) words in a hat and each person gets their own.

Yeah, my roommates and I were discussing this... they just brought home a huge box of alcohols.

And coincidentally, I did that for the first debate. But, as I said, it wasn't as fun when you pick words you know they are gonna say. As football boots said, you gotta get creative with the words.
What kind of alcohols did they bring? And will you be making a visit to this (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=81) thread later on perhaps?


Man, now that I think about it, this could have made TF2 tonight more fun. And I was in BevMo today looking for Blue Nehi for bone. So much good stuff there. le sigh

Can someone tell me how she is a maverick? And why John McCain knows how to win a war? Not to insult him but, was he ever a senior ranked member in the military?

"Oh there you go Joe!" Just wow.

[Widgetcraft]

Now doggunit, why are you all picking on main street? She just wants to take the greed and corruption out of wallstreet. You're darn tootin' she is going to bring the government back onto the side of the people.

I saw it zooming by a while ago, going at a fair clip.

[Karmakin]

I think Palin is doing pretty good actually.

The problem is the same as the entire McCain campaign. All tactics and no strategy. Palin has put them in an even smaller box which is going to be even harder to get out of.

I think that McCain will narrow the gap, but in the long run the road to the presidency has become that much harder for him.

[astranoir]

So am I the only one who was irritated at the beginning that this was like a vicarious Presidential debate? At the moment, it seems like they're actually talking more about themselves a little, I guess.

Well, that was a train wreck.

[astranoir]

Now comes the worst part: networks rehashing the debate.

[Kelegacy]

Best iceburn of the night: "Ultimate bridge to nowhere."

That was brilliant. Watch the sound bytes of tomorrow morning. That will be the big one. Biden is, in my eyes, definitely capable of being president if the time came. Very intelligent, and humorous too. You all know I like the humor.

[Xerxes]

I noticed that, and I thought it was just me. Welcome to my world...

Make that a third. It was constantly, "Well <President Candidate X> wants to do this...."

At least they can look at each other. This baby on the stage thing is a bit off. :o

[Xerxes]

Well, that was a train wreck.

Not for Obama/Biden.

[Church42]

So, was/is it that bad? I've skipped watching it

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I think Biden killed it. Palin seemed to ask her own questions a lot to me... and I still do not feel like she really knows what's going on.

[Church42]

TEOT - Biden killed it in a good or bad way?

[Widgetcraft]

So, was/is it that bad? I've skipped watching it

It was pretty terrible, she just repeated the same three or four lines over and over again, regardless of what she was asked. The media are writing her a love song though.

The people on CNN seem to think she sounded down-to-earth and appealing to the everyday person, and that Biden lost everyone when he started talking in "Congress-slang" by talking about things like "amendments" ?! WTF

There you have it.

[Lance Uppercut]

It wasn't a complete trainwreck, and I'll give credit to Palin where it's due. She kept her poise, and did as best she could considering her situation.

However, her actual answers were hollow, and often repeated her talking points or dodged the question, doggone it.

Biden was very effective, stayed on point most of the time, and mostly avoided the usual pitfalls attributed to him.

We thought both debates were much closer than the consensus seems to be.

I agree. Really didn't feel like either one got a solid win...but neither really blew it either. Honestly, given some of the history on Biden and the recent stumbles by Palin, I thought one or the other would fold. Lots of fencing, fairly amicable, and no real blood drawn.

[Brady]

I must say that Palin performed a little better than I expected. That said I still think that Biden really out did Palin.

Biden is usually quite aggressive in his debates and I thought it was classy of him to not call out Palin on a few things. For instance Palin getting the commander in Afghanistan's name incorrect. It is McKiernan and she was saying McClellan. You could see he noticed but decided to leave it to the networks to have at it.

I actually saw it on Huffington Post.... which right there shows which way I was leaning going into the debate ;) haha

[Xerxes]

I was thinking that to. Sounded like a true analyst. :D

I wonder if he went easy on her cause he figured the viewers would have at her. Truth be told though, normal folks don't know the President of Afghanistan.

[Lint of Death]

I liked how most of the stuff Palin repeated was stuff that Obama already refuted in the presidential debate. HURF DURF.

[DiBiddilyBop]

I think if Biden had really hammered her (which he could have), it would have kinda demonized him, which definitely would have been a bad idea.

Palin did better than I expected, but yeah... she was just outclassed. She had far more areas of weakness than Biden did, and it showed.

[Maskatron]

That wink of hers - ugh. I was watching it at a bar, and by the end of the night, people were taking big swigs of their drinks and cracking up every time she did that.

I'm a rabid Palin hater as they come, but yeah, she did pretty good. She was well prepared for this debate.

That's exactly what he had to do to avoid looking haughty and misogynistic, which is how a lot of Palin's critics are being labeled. I thought he did a great job of directing all his aggressive criticism at McCain and agreeing with Palin whenever he could.

[Karmakin]

I agree. Really didn't feel like either one got a solid win...but neither really blew it either. Honestly, given some of the history on Biden and the recent stumbles by Palin, I thought one or the other would fold. Lots of fencing, fairly amicable, and no real blood drawn.

Yet the polls (at least the snap polls) are showing something different.

Among all voters, CNN has it by 15 or so

Among "undecided voters", CBS has it by 25.

Both for Biden. Not even close really. Like I said, my observation was that it was a lot closer, but I suspect that people were looking for more substance and less flash.

[Zero]

Ha. "The past is prologue, right?" Classic.

God, how I loved that line. Solid showing for the Dems. Palin... did anybody notice how she would dodge questions and change the subject?

[fitbabits]

It was awesome, yet it seems most people are either missing it or didn't get the significance.

And you can't seriously say that Palin was avoiding the question. She's shown time and time again that she loves answering any questiong with straight "Wasilla Main Street" talk.

[Iron Past]

Oh, come on. They were using two completely different tactics, you can't judge the "win" based on just one side. Biden was there to attack McCain's policies and tie him to the Bush administration, and Palin was there to use it as a platform to talk to everyone at home.

Last week, people were saying Obama did better than expected, and so that made him a winner. This week Palin did (much) better than expected, but she's still a loser. I'm not here to debate myself, but I will say there is a consitent double standard (for both sides) that's just retarded. The debates aren't about winning points like Debate Club, they're about getting your message across, and I think they both accomplished that goal. Party line split in the poles.

Not that question in particular, the one that immediately came to mind was the question of who's a bigger threat, unstable Pakistan or Nukulear Eye-Ran. Her answer? Eye-Rack.

I was joking... :)

But yeah, she was constantly referring to Eye-Rack when she (hopefully) meant Eye-Ran.

[BlackMako]

Did anyone watch the post-debate coverage on CBS? They interview an undecided voter who thought Palin won the debate. His reasoning? "I kept track, and Palin answered the question she was asked more often than Biden did." How great is it that the outcome of the election is in the hands of such attentive people?

[IIntrude]

Personally, I think that Palin did what she needed to do, show that despite being only 5 weeks into her "Washington" career, that she could hold her own against a veteran politician. That in it's own right was a major success for her.

I enjoy her common speak, she doesn't come off as a smarmy politico, instead she sounds like many of the ladies i work with.

Of course I am not unbiased, I am supporting McCain, but I can honestly say that for a while I was on the fence several weeks back.

I think McCain did worse than expected which is why folks labeled Obama the winner. It was really a tie at face value but based on peoples expectations Obama won. McCain was supposed to be what Biden was in tonight debate. Biden came out on top. Sure Palin did better than expected but her expectations were on the bottom of the sea after the Katie Couric interview started making rounds.

Let me translate Katie Couric's feelings... "Are you serious? She just told me that Alaska is not a foreign country when I... :boom:!"

[Phades]

I thought that Biden was absolutely tearing her apart in the beginning but she improved and toward the end I thought she had done just fine. She seemed to losen up a bit and looked less uncomfortable. Overall though, I think they both accomplished what they needed to.

[Bingley Joe]

Let me translate Katie Couric's feelings... "Are you serious? She just told me that Alaska is not a foreign country when I... :boom:!"

LMAO! If you watch Couric right around the 35 second mark, you can see her glance up at the camera with that "please god, tell me you're getting this" look in her eyes.. so hilarious.

[Thanasimos]

The debate was kind of boring. Palin said all sorts of things that I would have jumped on and shit given half a chance, and Biden kinda passed them all up. He looked more than a bit nervous, though. And both of them also looked really sketchy -- Palin moreso, because in addition to the general "I'm a lying politician" look I picked up from both, there was a really weird fervor that came into her eyes every time she said "America." The difference between patriotism and brainwashing is not subtle.

[Xerxes]

I think if Biden went in there like a mad dog, everyone probably would have been crying about him being sexist.

[fitbabits]

[KingGorilla]

Things I take away:
Biden will not take any shit.
Palin does not like people, she never once looked away from the camera.
No one gives a damn about the gays even so far as to say the fed has no authority over marriage except full faith and credit.

Yeah, that conversation seemed really awkward to me. It was also odd when Palin started blathering about her family/friends network at that point.

[Xerxes]

Ok, so everytime you ask her to think about something she can't handle.

Katie: Any laws you would want to change?
Palin: In the history of the great America, we all disagree. But oh no, State level can handle it.
She IS State level.

Katie: What publications do you read?
Palin: Oh, all of them. In the great land of America, Alaska get the same news.
Just wow.

[DiBiddilyBop]

Palin is not only inexperienced (that's forgivable, I think... I'm voting Obama), but more importantly she is appallingly uninformed.

If you are running for the second highest position in the nation, you should know some Supreme Court rulings you disagree with. You should know what the Bush Doctrine is. You should be able to name your primary news sources. I mean, if I tell you I get all my news from Huffington Post, that tells you something. If I say I watch Fox News, that tells you something else. The fact that this woman repeatedly fails to answer substantive questions that are directly related to the office she is running for is completely unforgivable.

I mean the bailout question took the cake. My niece is 4 and probably could of spoke better about the bailout. Seriously, the kid can repeat stuff she her's just once like she came up with it on her own. Point is it's all that's been on the news, in the papers, and so forth. "It's about job creation."

This.

Biden did EXACTLY what he needed to do to woo the undecideds, while the hardcore Dems wanted him to rip off her head and shit down her neck.

She did significantly better than expectations - and, in fact, she did just as well as Bush did in his first national debate in 2000. As another former rival said, she is the 'Master of the Glittering Generality.'

[squirrelTactics]

Was I the only one who actually became pissed off when Palin came out and said "No, I don't think I'm going to answer that question, I'm going to use this time to blather on about what a maverick McCain is."

Why didn't she just flip off the moderator, throw the horns up and shout "MCCAIN 08" ?

Palin did better then I expected her to, but so did Biden. He held back where most would have attacked. Biden win.
