Also, why didn't we hear more about the Bush Administration? I know Palin had that "there you go again" schtick prepared to counter it, but I don't think that was a very strong defense. Lord, I know we all long for the once-in-a-lifetime political skills of Bill Clinton, but Biden, no stranger to the occasional plagiarism, would have done well to swipe Clinton's line from the Convention: "Republicans like John McCain and Sarah Palin want us to reward them for the last eight years by giving them four more!" 10:44pm
Biden finished OK, but on the whole, Palin had the slight edge. She didn't even just exceed her low expectations, she was actually reasonably fluent after a slightly wavering start. Biden, on the other hand, seemed to have taken the strategy of adopting Palin's tortured sentence structures. Not that either one of them is going to be president of the Oxford Union, but I actually think if you look at the text, Joe Biden made less sense than Sarah Palin! Very bad, Joe. 10:36pm
Mystery Dem has had it with bipartisanship. How about we say that we'll work with people who have good ideas for America, regardless of party, but we're not going to work out those who want to follow the failed policies of the last eight years just so we can say we're "reaching across the aisle"?
Biden: "My achilles heel is that I talk too much. So I'll keep quiet and let Gov. Palin have another chance to actually answer the question."
It's shameful how Palin keeps plugging the idiotic "2 mavericks" slogan, but it'd be less effective if we'd pre-attacked the "maverick" brand as Mystery Dem proposed. 10:12pm
Why can't a Democrat ever say that the test for military intervention is whether it's in the American goddam national interest?!? 10:07pm
Biden STOP APOLOGIZING AND EXPLAINING! Best defense = good offense! 10:06pm
Biden, Biden: Palin was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it. Ditto with McCain who wants to veto his own bills on immigration and the bailout! 10:05pm
How can Biden actually be less coherent than Palin. Oh Hillary, I take it all back... 10:03pm
I hate this debate format, and think Biden's kind of awful. 9:57pm
Re the diplomacy of "serious people" -- is it "serious" to sing "Bomb Iran?". 9:52pm
I wants to shake Biden and tell him to stop clarifying and apologizing! 9:50pm
Biden did pretty OK with the Iraq question. 9:45pm
Senator O'Biden. 9:35pm
Biden is barely more coherent than Palin. 9:30pm
Palin probably should bring up the phrase "rearing his head." 9:27pm
