SukieTawdry

Well, I'm nervous. Whether it actually is or not, it feels like a make or break moment.

Elliott

Fact: Katie Couric was not tough enough on Sarah Palin.

Dave

Fact... Bill O'Reilly wasn't tough enough with The One.

Jane

I'm nervous too. Why is Ifill on crutches?

Sara (Pal2Pal)

I'm a wreck

hit and run

Bigger pressure than Minneapolis.

And even lower expectation.

Sara (Pal2Pal)

She tripped over debate material and broke her ankle.

Deagle

Heh... Fact: Sarah could make better decisions on the bailout than Congress.

centralcal

hellooo - anybody home?

hit and run

Jane:
Why is Ifill on crutches?

'Accident'

Yeah, in scare quotes. LUN

Dave

2nd debate, 2nd PBS pinko moderator.

SukieTawdry

Booooooo hiss

Sara (Pal2Pal)

I feel like it is 4 pm 4 years ago on election day and they were telling me exit polls gave the race to Kerry.

Jane

Oh I bet Gwen concentrates on foreign policy.

SukieTawdry

She looks FABULOUS

Jane

"Hey, can I call you Joe"

"Yeah and I'll call you Governor"

hit and run

Sarah: "Hey can I call you Joe?"

PDinDetroit

Class right off the bat.

"can I call you Joe?"

Dave

The Welsh coal-miner's son is up first.

Jane

toldya

Elliott

When I said fact, I probably should have said that seems to be the prevailing view where I am.

Another prevailing view is that Ifill won't be tough enough.

Round one to Palin. Woo hoo!

sbw

BidenMeme - excess of deregulation

SukieTawdry

Boilerplate Dem. Palin has a real chance here--hope she takes it

SukieTawdry

Good start--goes right to the personal

Dave

The moonbats i work with will be mentioning "Fargo" again tomorrow.

Jane

Yeah!!!!!

JM Hanes

Do we think Joe Biden has had a facelift? A guy who would go for hairplugs would hardly balk at a stitch in time.

sbw

I can't get cspan to stream. Where else?

PDinDetroit

Everyday Person..

I like her.

Biden did well in the first question, even though I am not sure he really answered it...

Jane

Great answer!

hit and run

Joe goes straight for Joe Senator Big Shot answer

and

Palin goes straight for Sarah Six Pack answer

SukieTawdry

OMG--she's terrific

M. Simon

Deregulation caused it. Obama already voted.

Making money on the rescue is not allowed.

JM Hanes

I'm pretty sick of the bi-partisan theme. We have profound disagreements about the role of government.

Dave

29th September, Obama said the same thing, Joe.

Elliott

People are laughing at Palin. I think she'll have the last laugh tonight though.

BobS

I'm with Sara...I can't watch

hit and run

Good job Joe, step right into the "fundamentals are strong" trap.

It's the people.

Biden/Obama don't think the people are strong.

Publius

I have as many friends on the Republican side of the aisle as on the Democratic side.",<.i>

One on each side.

JM Hanes

A few too many talking points, from Palin?

BobS

Its like watching a field goal attempt at the end of a game...somebody tell me what happens

Dave

PDinDetroit

Back to the Maverick theme...

Ifill, you should have stepped down...

hit and run

JM Hanes

Oh please-- where's the Democratic corruption?

Jane

Gawd please please please talk about the democrat's role in the economic crisis.

SukieTawdry

I don't especially like this answer, but I understand it

PDinDetroit


Fixed?

Pofarmer

Too

Many

Missed

Opportunities

on

Freddie

and Fannie

Jane

When the hell did Barack Obama warn about the subprime mortgage crisis?

Dave

5 years ago and 3 years ago Bush and McCain warned about it and were rebuffed by Barney Frank & his pals.

RichatUF

Damn I missed the beginning. So how is it going? Has Fire Marshall Biden fallen into the tacs yet?

Let me tell you something!!!!

Screw you Biden: Obama was suing Citi Bank for sub-prime loans!!

JM Hanes

Drink on "good man, but."

Barbara

Biden's lying. Why am I not surprised!

Pofarmer

Biden is lying.

This drives me crazy.

And no one will call him on it.

centralcal

you guys, she is talking to the "folks" and I think that is more impactful than all of the policy crap.

PDinDetroit

C'mon Sarah, ask him how he voted on Deregulation...

BobS

I'm sure Palin has some zingers ready....shes seems to be doing fairly well

JM Hanes

Palin ought to be able to take on "deregulation" as bug not feature.

Fisher

*** Please continue the comments.. They are great.

I'm stuck at work trying to close the company books... to nervous to watch a stream ... so I will refresh here about every 1.3 seconds...

Go girl

SukieTawdry

I have a theory that McCain is waiting until the bailout bill is safely through Congress before he lets loose on the Dems. Anyhow that's what I'm telling myself. Joe Biden: blah blah blah

PDinDetroit

94, time to drink!

Might not have the money to soon..

see you all at a AA Meeting...

Pofarmer

I wish sarah could be sarah, and not speak for mcCain

BobS

Calling them on their votes is good stuff

sbw

I

can

do without

vertical answers. They tire me out.

JM Hanes

Please push Palin into the briar patch of deregulation! And why won't she go there?

SukieTawdry

Did she just tell Gwen Ifill FU??

Barbara

Yes! Got get him, Sarah!

Jane

Biden looks stupid.

JM Hanes

Guess she felt she needed to counter Joe on the $42,000 hit.

BobS

She's not intimidated...thats for sure...ans she's signaled she won't let him get by with mant

PDinDetroit

Great idea for Sarah: speak for herself, even though "they" want you to answer the they want.

Ifill just interrupted like Obama. Bad...

Barbara

That %$#% Ifill stopped Sarah from responding just like she did Cheney!

BobS

mantras...and alking points

Pofarmer

It drives me nuts hearing these aroogant asses talk about the middle class.

Porchlight
I have a theory that McCain is waiting until the bailout bill is safely through Congress before he lets loose on the Dems.

I also think this is the reason. I sure hope it is anyway.

Dave

"fairness" == giving 'rebate' checks to people who already pay NO taxes.

sbw

Well, I just gave up live-watching. A debate is a format that's a waste of time.

Jane

WOW Obama has changed his plan again - now no capital gains tax raise. I doubt that.

JM Hanes

Palin has been talking too fast, which I think is nerves.

Sue

Wow. $150K now. It was $250k last night.

clarice

Biden is talking Senate blah blah--Sarah is talking to the people.I can't keep awake when he talks. I bet no one else can.

centralcal

Yes - Ifill is a b*tch. But sarracuda will overcome her and talk around her!

sbw

MSM: Yeah, but Biden won.

hit and run

Palin has been talking too fast, which I think is nerves.

That and she knows Ifill is gonna cut her off...

PDinDetroit

Hit him as "patriotic" for wanting more taxes!

YESSSS

Jane

Biden looks like he is in love.

Dave

Sara Reagan

StrawmanCometh

redistribution of wealth!! Yes, Sarah, you are back.

PDinDetroit

She is well prepared and seems at ease here...

I like it!

SukieTawdry

She was reasonably good on taxes.

Jane

Great point about health care and the feds.

clarice

I agree, Jane.

Elliott

Crowd seems to think Ifill is sticking it Palin. Remember, reality based=not real.

MayBee

I think Joe Biden just called people making $250,000 "Superwealthy".

Reminder:Joe Biden makes about that much and declares his net worth to be near 0.
Barack Obama was making that much money when he worried about paying for college for his daughters and couldn't pay off his college loans.

Pofarmer

The middle class, cannot, by definition, be any kind of economic engine.

Jane

95% of small business does not make less than 250k a year. He's wrong.

M. Simon

We don't call it redistribution: we call it fairness.

Admitting to newspeak. Bad move.

Dave

Scranton? I thought he grew up in Wales?

MayBee

ask ask ask: How is Obama going to pay for his health care plan, Joe?
