I can't believe fools thought Palin was going to be able to debate with Joe Biden
He's been rope-a-doping the public and propping her up as some great debator when he knows damn well how ignorant she is on the issues concerning this country.
Interesting debate amongst people who have already made up their minds. Thing is, Palin dominating the news hurts Obama. It's just that simple.
Like I said on another thread, people see what they want to see. Here's something interesting from another site...
All McCain needs is a small percentage of those Hillary women to pull this thing out. The handful of states that will decide this thing had alot of Hillary women. Joe (the gaffe machine) Biden coming out and saying Hillary would have been a better pick isn't exactly helpful on this matter. But hey, the press says the dems are unified so it has to be true right?Okay, I went back and looked at the interview that Gibson did with Obama. This was his hard hitting question on Obama’s experience, said oh-so-soothingly:
“If people have a reservation about you, it is that you’re young, you’re inexperienced, and you’re very new to the national stage…” [politely waits while Obama talks at length]
No follow up. No pressing. Okay. covered that, let’s move on.
Contrast that with how he approached Palin’s inexperience.
“Can you look the country in the eye, and say that I have the experience, and I have the ability, to be not just VP but perhaps President of the United States of America?”
So she answers.
Charlie presses: So when McCain asked you, you didn’t HESITATE?
No, Charlie, I didn’t… I told him if I could serve this country I would…
[Charlie frowns, and makes jabbing motions with his thumb and forefinger together] “And you didn’t SAY to yourself, am I experienced enough, am I ready?”
I didn’t hesitate, I didn’t..
[Charlie interrupts] Doesn’t that take some HUBRIS?
I rest my case. The woman suddenly has the bar jacked up 5 times higher than the man, and she is RUNNING FOR THE LOWER POSITION!
Sarah Palin could get caught screwing goats tomorrow, and I would still vote for her. This has got to STOP. NOW. THIS year.

Yeah Biden is rope-a-doping by publicy saying Hillary would have been a better pick. Way to pick at a scab Joe! Why don't you top it off by telling a guy in a wheelchair to stand up.
BTW, my wife's aunt just came to stay with us until IKE does his damage. She's a complete liberal so I thought I was going to have to keep it off of FOX but nope, she says she just can't vote for Barry...then she started babbling about Hillary (I tuned her out at that point).

Sounds like Biden really isn't all that confident about debating Palin.

The real question is WTF kinda of beauty contest allowed her to be in it?

Kerry made a mistake in lowering expectations for Bush in debates in 2004. Kerry was much better, but the press was so impressed Bush didn't fall flat on his face and gave him the wins.
Biden knows better and is talking Palin up. The press will still love it, because they're spineless and don't really report on issues anymore, but maybe they won't be distracted that she hasn't pooped her pants.
She's just another scared woman who is afraid of black men.
Matt Drudge is currently burying the interview on his site, a sure sign that this interview was a rousing success for Palin and the GOP.
It was horrible for Palin, but the fact of the matter is that its probably only downhill from here on out. She's going to get better.
McCain will grab the same white male vote that Republicans always get. I sincerely doubt the female voters that wanted Hillary will all switch over to Palin, who is for literally everything Hillary is against.
You are ignoring the huge turnout of black and minority voters for Obama. In key swingstates like Ohio this could make or break the election for him. He needs record turnout from the black communities.
Obama needs black people to make up about 14-15% of the electorate. If he can do that, McCain is ed.
That's top center of Drudge RIGHT NOW; ONLY thing higher than that is the potential apocalypse itself spinning towards Texas!
Buried, my ass.
Based on your logic, therefore, can we assume the interview was a success?
Well, seeing as they make up only 13.4% of the POPULATION; and have historically been VERY poor at turning out to vote; I'm doubting that is going to happen.
Just as well; the racists.
???
Drudge has them dead center, links 2, 3 and 4 from the top.
That's buried only if you're blind.
edit: 101 beat me to it.
Dude, as of the timestamp of this post, the picture is a tiny square in the middle underneath the Drudge Report masthead, with about 4 links under it. He's not highlighting it at all.
If the interview were a success, it would be in bold font above the masthead. We might even get a gay-ass siren out of it.
Fine, so at 7:00 it was an utter failure; again based on your logic; at 8:30, now it is a much greater success based on it's placement on the "Drudge hierarchy". You brought up the Findog Doctrine (Buried on Drudge=Failure), not me.
14-16% of the electorate is not the same thing as 13% of the population. And if you think Obama's ground game + the excitement of a black man running for President isn't going to turn into record-high turnout among blacks, then I can't help you.
If you think "ground game" will make up for historically (very) low turnouts, then you simply can't be helped.
Again, I'd rather those racists not have a voice in the election, anyway.
you guys crack me up. Findog says the interview is buried and Manny says it stunk, so I was truly expecting something bad.
Come to find out the interview is top center right below the hurricane picture, so no it's not buried. Plus, she did why better than expected.
The best thing about this interview is she totally made herself out to be #2 on the ticket.
She came across as all woman.
By Findog Doctrine you mean his world view....right?
touche.
(and let him fight his own battles)
Unbelievable!
What the were your expectations for this interview? Did you think she was going to whip out a huge penis or something?
She definitely has a vagina, so this interview was a categorical success.....
Sorry, I couldn't resist....
did anyone here honestly know what the Bush doctrine was? yeah she did talk out of her ass on that one, but recovered pretty good. she kept the "uh's" to a minimum. a teleprompter must've been behind chuck.
I didn't know too much about it, but McCain didn;t choose me as his running mate.
