Palin just winked at me.
I love how Palin injects slang into her answers. "Darn right." What the? She just said Joe Sixpack. I've heard that one before, maybe even from Obama, but it just sounds so dorky.
TPM already mentioned this, but Biden does look scared to look at anybody but Ifill.
Biden's response to the tax accusation was level-headed.
Again, Palin emphasizes her "straight talk" so she can speak to the American people.
Palin just referred to herself as middle class. I read a report today that estimated the Palin family assets. Wait for it...wait for it...$1.2 million. Damn, I want to be in that middle class.
Characterized, Joe. Characterized. Get it out.
Err, McCain does say one thing to one group and say another thing to another group. Palin should know this. She reads all newspapers and magazines.
That bankruptcy bill that was passed seems like a bad idea. Watch Maxed Out.
Oh, yes. Palin is going to talk about energy. Go on. I mean, after all, McCain says you are the foremost energy expert in the country! Is she really lecturing us about energy independence? Unbelievable.
Palin acknowledges the global warming trend, but she still refuses to say it was caused by man and refers to cyclical global temperature change.
Hah, Palin just corrected Biden on the Republicans chant "Drill, Baby, Drill." Biden said, "Drill. Drill. Drill."
So, to the support granting benefits to same-sex couples question, her answer was "No." Right?
We have a plan for withdrawal, Palin says. Do tell. I don't know of this. "Your plan is a white flag of surrender." - Palin to Biden. Hm, it didn't sound like a white flag of surrender to me.
Palin talking about Iran is scary. Very, very scary.
Sullivan thinks Biden is throwing this debate away. He thinks Palin's chirpy, stylistic approach is beating Biden. He may be true.
Her smiles are outrageously distracting. It is so comical. "Maverick." Blah, blah, blah. "Ruffling feathers."
Palin is lecturing on truth. Funny.
I agree with Palin. It is very obvious she is a Washington outsider.
10:06pm...The longest pause from Palin. She made it over an hour without an overly awkward silence.
A Palin Administration? I saw that last night on The Daily Show. She would put it on eBay. I'll post the video later.
Can we please stop using "Maverick"? That reminds me, at the RNC I saw someone holding a sign that read "Mavrick". That was amazing.
"Say it ain't so, Joe." And "doggone it." Classy.
Check the video. I don't think Palin's comment about not knowing what the VP does was a lame attempt at a joke.
Sullivan seems to be changing his opinion on the debate. This great bit from the Dish:
"Doggone it." "Say it ain't so, Joe." "God bless her." A shout out to her home town school. A total ramble of nothing on education. Total ramble.Biden's criticism of Cheney was sweet.
10:19pm - I was hoping Palin would wink at me again. She just did.
Damn, Biden's getting choked up about his son was powerful. Staged? Doubt it. But either way, it worked. But then he goes a little long with his "Maverick he is not" speech. That was a little painful at the end.
10:30pm - Palin's closing statement...Ah, here comes the attack on the media. Palin loves answering questions, but she doesn't like interviews and press conferences. That was classic.
Biden's closing statement...Hitting the economy. That's smart. That's the weak spot right now and Biden seems to be doing a good job by hitting the reestablishment of the American dream as a core tenet to an Obama-Biden Administration.
Joe wins! But hey, I'm in the tank.
