BRAVO Sarah Palin!!!!!!!

[McCain/Palin 08]

For someone only on the national stage for 5 weeks vs Mr 33 years, Sarah blew him away.

Make no mistake.

Sarah Blew him Away!!!

[Laura Cereta]

Congrats, Sarah! :)

Yes, Sarah did very well. Biden's still traing to figure out what happened.

[Bad Kitty]

A whole room of undecided voters in a room on the news, just said that she won!!! yay!!!

[joeysky18]

She was awesome! She nailed Biden and Obama on many issues.

Vote on CNN poll.

[Avalon]

She sure did! I am so proud of her!:D She was excellent and real!:D

[LJSNAustin]

OH, YEAH! Sarah connects with people in a way Biden/Oblahblah can only DREAM of!!!

SARAH PALIN WON IT FAIR AND SQUARE... ON SUBSTANCE AND STYLE.

She connected BIG TIME with the audience - local and in the homes.

She did it!!

[PCFS1]

WTG Gov Palin God was on your side. What a great debate. Biden was boreing. She was refreshing.

[shadow]

Sarah talked to the camera, and thus, the people. Biden looked at the moderator, as if we people were not watching.

Sarah was great. She had Biden defending himself a lot. I loved her!

That was amazing. She did exceptionally well and really held her own. No question Mccain will get a bump out of this, as this will be watched by millions of views in America.

[Kbentleyis]

Luntz had his group together and almost all but I think 2 people have gotten off the fence and going McCain/Palin. Great remarks by everyone. "She's one of us." "This was another 9/11 and she shone through." All good remarks!

I thought she was just extraordinary. What a good debate and I'm so happy she took on someone with 35 years experience so significantly well.

[joeysky18]

Vote Hannity poll.

[McCain/Palin 08]

Biden was so boring, perhaps its beacuse he was finally up against a PERSONALITY for the first time in his life.

Fact is, he and OBAMA just dont get it. America is not 100 % composed of VChardonnay sipping elitists. They just dont get it!!!!!

[Michelle M]

I was really impressed. I thought she did great.

As for Biden, coupla comments:

1. When he flashes that totally fake cheesy smile, I am sure to feel ill. It is SO BEYOND fake.

2. I thought the almost-tears moment was manufactured. I am sorry. I don't mean to seem unsympathetic. I just had the feeling he was reaching for it. He had mentioned it not even a minute before, but he Just had to go back there one more time. His doing so just didn't seem spontaneous to me; it seemed forced. So sue me, and I'm sorry to sound harsh. It's just that he trots this out a lot, and I think it's inappropriate to do so except in the most general of terms.

3. Biden starts out a lot of his statements with "LOOK." He states this very aggressively. Obama does this too. It's a conversational style that's intended to make a point in a very dominating, aggressive way. It drives me nuts. It belittles the listener, commanding him. Whoever teaches that style of oratory ought to be drawn and quartered. BOTH OF THEM DO IT. LOOK, it's got to :eek:

[Peppermint Patty]

I think they both did well... but it was Sarah who had to prove herself and she did that 100%! I love the dig she got in about being edited like Gibson and Couric did.

I think she really connected with the average American and that's going to be very important.

And Joe Biden, no more botox on the forehead okay? He looked like a man in need of a furrowed brow! LOL :rolleyes::eek:

[Ijane]

I just have one thing to say...

Hey John! Better get your campaign back to Michigan because this race is on!!!

Sarah Palin ROCKED tonight!!!!

[Mrsawd]

Sarah done Grand slam Home run tonight ,scored a Touch down , Won the Game every way you can say it !


YES

[greenleaf]

Sarah was great! The more Americans know her, the more there is to love.
Her answers were nearly perfect and she was charming and good humored. Biden wasn't bad, but he was boring by comparison.
Sarah distanced the ticket from Bush by lightly teasing that Biden was dwelling on the past. Sarah did dodge the Cheney question and that mildly bothered me because Cheney's denial of branch identification is so irritating. I guess she just couldn't call it as such.
Overall, no gaffes and Sarah won the hearts and minds. IMO.

[Eddie3dfx]

It makes no sense that Obama is on the top of the ticket when Biden is the one with the vast amount of experience, while Obama has 134 days of senate experience before he started running.

[joeysky18]

Palin is having a good time at the after debate party. :D:D:D

[Kathy1980]

OMG...Sarah Rocked!!! I'm So Flipping Happy!!!!!:D:D:D

[Kbentleyis]

I wanted to add. I'm feeling kind of guilty making such a big stink about Ifil. She was very fair and I thought like Sarah very much.

[joeysky18]

I wanted to add. I'm feeling kind of guilty making such a big stink about Ifil. She was very fair and I thought like Sarah very much.

Don't feel guilty. I think our compliant was a preemptive strike and forced Ifil to watch out. If we didn't called her out, she would have went against Palin with Biden. And it will turn out to be a 2 against 1 debate.

That's what happened to Hillary. She had to debate with both her opponent and the moderators.

[pagirl4sarah&hillary]

Sarah did great. Biden was sooo boring that I quit paying attention halfway through his sentences.

[samkm]

Ifil gave the last word to Biden MANY times, INCLUDING the last statement of the debate. Watch it close. She did not give second turn to Palin when Biden made some attacks.

[Jill4Hillary]

I thought Sarah represented both herself and McCain very well.
By the way, forum members....
Where in the heck do you find all these polls? You have kept me busy for the past 10 minutes voting in all the various polls. :)

[RachachaSharon]

Biden was so boring, perhaps its beacuse he was finally up against a PERSONALITY for the first time in his life.

Fact is, he and OBAMA just dont get it. America is not 100 % composed of VChardonnay sipping elitists. They just dont get it!!!!!

Biden may have been boring, but I think that he seemed more boring because he was paired with such an outgoing and genuine personality in Sarah Palin. She had us nodding, laughing and smiling. She talked to us. Sarah Palin only needs to be herself. No one should try to make her into something she isn't. The people of Alaska know that she's a gem and now the rest of us do, too. Way to go, Sarah!:D

[samkm]

OMG...Sarah Rocked!!! I'm So Flipping Happy!!!!!:D:D:D

CNN had Solidad O'brien do a focus group... She asks who thought Biden did better and then goes and talks with more of those people!! There were ONLY 4 and she caleld it out. BUT THERE WERE A LOT MORE HANDS THAT WENT UP FOR WHO THOUGHT PALIN DID BETTER.. AND SHE DID NOT COUNT THAT NUMBER AND REPORT!! She ended on a note in favor of Obama!

Solidad O'Brien also said that on the dial, people did not like the folksy words.. She is trying to influence the people's opinion of Sarah Palin. Quite the contrary, Sarah Palin connected better with her very relatable words.

Bill Schneider came and reported that their poll reported Biden won.

HA-HA!! They are so jaded they dont even want to report the numbers from their own focus group accurately.

[Charlie Brown]

***SHE IS ONE Of US***

[Ray_of_Hope]

CONGRATULATIONS SARAH PALIN!!!!!

She did well. I am so, so happy for her. She went in there and knocked it out of the ballpark :).

Joe Biden was good, but there were times when he seemed overly defensive.

And what is up with these stupid liberal channels? Can't they be fair JUST this one time?!

Anyway, Sarah the Barracuda is bacccck :D:D:D!

[Borlah]

It makes no sense that Obama is on the top of the ticket when Biden is the one with the vast amount of experience, while Obama has 134 days of senate experience before he started running.

Hate to say it too but, I would be much more comfortable if this was the case. Even my conservative mom who thinks he is a blow bag would be more comfortable with McCain losing to Biden than Obama.

[RachachaSharon]

Ifil gave the last word to Biden MANY times, INCLUDING the last statement of the debate. Watch it close. She did not give second turn to Palin when Biden made some attacks.

That was obvious, but Sarah did extremely well and brought the conversation back to the topics she wanted to expand on. Also, my husband happened to set it to NBC to watch and I left it there, primarily out of curiosity since I don't watch it anymore. Even though I didn't listen to the "analysis" for very long, I was really surprised at the response of the commentators. The Geraldine Ferraro was on, too, and even though she's a dem and is supporting the dem ticket, you could see - and she admitted as much - that she was rooting for Sarah to do well.

[Charlie Brown]

Don't feel guilty. I think our compliant was a preemptive strike and forced Ifil to watch out. If we didn't called her out, she would have went against Palin with Biden. And it will turn out to be a 2 against 1 debate.

i THINK SO TOO....WE DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE...

[blueskygal]

iT'S TRUE - I CAUGHT THAT AS WELL. SHE DID IT A NUMBER OF TIMES.

Too bad Gwen - Sarah was so awesome tonight it didn't matter!

[Frances]

Sarah was well equiped for this debate..........she talked about the middle class, we the people, she didn't get bogged down with stats like Biden did. Biden was spinning a good tale with a bunch of bullshit!

[xfiles]

Dick Morris is saying she did brilliantly, has a magnificent speaking style--like Ronald Reagan.

[Bad Kitty]

Hannity just said her win was the Sarah Palin Shock and Awe.

[blueskygal]

I never doubted that Sarah would rock. She's got the RIGHT STUFF!

I found her incredibly REFRESHING!

Mrs. Smith goes to Washington!

[emmyCA]

Media underestimated her....Now they know who really Palin is!!!!

[skc1976]

I have to say, I am THRILLED with how well Palin did tonight. She didn't talk to us as a Governor or a politician, she talked to us as a real person that's a mother and a member of everyday life. I thought that Biden came across as a crotchety old man at many times. When Palin would get the best of him with her fresh talk of the common person, he would become aggitated and argumentative. But she kept it positive the whole night and really gave me something to feel good about!

One point tonight really scored with me. The first one was the whole gay marriage issue. So many GLBTQ think that Obama is going to give them the world and are mistaken in that. Biden tonight admitted that there really isn't much difference between the Obama/Biden ticket than there is for McCain/Palin in regards to GLBTQ rights. Palin appeased her Conservative base while reached out to our community more than most GOPers would, and as much as our current Democrats on the ticket will. So, this makes the GLBTQ issues a draw.

I'm sure that I'll have more to say soon! :-)

Governor Palin is the FIRST HONEST POLITICIAN I ever met!!!! The moderator did not clarify Joe's position and it was misleading on Marriage. So, Governor Palin took care of that.

[Tim4Hillary]

I thought Gwen was completely fair. I had no qualms about her performance. BUT she shouldn't have been chosen because of her book deal. My respect for her was restored however.

[samkm]

He said great things.

He said he questioned her experience.. and he was wrong.

Palin did more than rock... She blew him out. It was her show!

BTW, any candidate that puts out a shout out to school kids.. OMG.. love it!


Bravo Sarah, bravo!

[NBM]

Now that I've voted in several polls, I came back here to say...

WOW, Sarah took no prisoners tonight! She dominated that hall.

Her energy is so strong - positive and constructive. And as she said, change is not looking back - She and McCain are the REAL CHANGE.

O'Biden/Nobama = old school politics of the past - fear, taxes and gloom. They're not even more of the same... they're actually FAR worse.

[Spagpusher]

I had to listen to it after work tonight and I think Sarah did great!

On the messing up of names .... was it my imagination that at one point (not sure where, exactly as I'm pretty tired from work tonight) .... that Sarah called Biden ....... Obiden?

I swear I heard that and the camera went straight to Joe and he laughed.


I'll have to go back through my dvr and see if I can find exactly what part I heard that in.

She was cool, though. So cool. Loved it! WTG Sarah! :cool:

[NBM]

She did say "O Biden." :)

I dropped in on DU for a second and grabbed this brilliant post of Biden's debate strategy.

The secret is that Biden doesn't want to draw any attention right now...

Let Sarah get all the attention, and people will continue to discover how ill-prepared she is. Joe can just sit back and be the under the radar attack dog. There was no reason for him to tear her up tonight. He won the debate by staying above the fray.

It's perfect! Yeah, good plan, Joe... stay under the radar. LOL

[Suzan]

I'm up watching Nighline and freaky little George S. gave Biden an A and Sarah an A-. I'm so pissed at him. Today, he said it was do or die for Sarah, that if she didn't do well, it was curtains for McCain. What a crock.

Now, he and the cross-eyed co-host of Nightline are defending Biden on the tears. I wasn't watching closely when that happened, so I'm not going to comment. Now George (I'm biting my tongue here), is saying they both had the same number of inaccuracies. We know that ISN'T TRUE.

I HATE THE MSM! George is now talking about how McCain just pulled out of Michigan and how this debate wasn't a game changer. George freaking wishes! What midget of a man, and I mean that metaphorically, not physically, which is a bigger insult!!!

[Suzan]

I've also been voting in all the polls that are still open and commenting everywhere I can. For the most part, the bots were ready for this one. BUT, I'll bet they're bent sideways that she did so well. Even the MSNBC results came out in her favor.

[CountryFirst]

:DI've also been voting in all the polls that are still open and commenting everywhere I can. For the most part, the bots were ready for this one. BUT, I'll bet they're bent sideways that she did so well. Even the MSNBC results came out in her favor.


Whoo HOO! I voted in all the polls too, and have posted where I can. Some of the sites are really slow, including my home paper, the Wichita Eagle.

Everywhere I post, I plug this forum.

You guy and gals ROCK!

For me, this election is about YOU!

I say YOU because I'm a newbie here, and I wasn't actively supporting Hillary in the Primaries. (I was a Romney girl! ha!) But actually, Hillary was my 2nd choice (me and Ann Coulter agreed on THAT!)

And I've always loved and admired the Clintons. I am not a long-time Republican. I voted for Bill in '96 and Gore in 2000. I just started voting GOP in 2004 (Kerry just turned me OFF).

So, I say this election is still up for grabs!

WE CAN DO IT!

And more than that: WE WILL DO IT!!!

I didn't get to watch it from end to end... but the parts that I saw were fantastic! She was genuine and so refreshing to watch!! She really knocked it out of the park!!

BRAVO, SARAH! :)

[lanesharon]

I was enthralled by her intelligence and her ability to deliver it in a way that made you feel like it was just the girls having a friendly chat. I loved the way she looked directly into the camera lens and spoke to you and me.

She sure showed the pundits that she is far more than 'just' a soccer Mom. I was very proud to see a woman take the reins!!

[Hillarysmygirl08]

First of all I would rather vote for Obama then to vote for Joe Biden. In fact that is my whole debate with people in the hood. Biden is a very evil man and he is worst then Obama. I would much rather have Obama then Biden. Biden is a piece of garbage that should have lost his seat a long time ago. There is a special place in hell for Biden and Jay Rockerfeller.
