Can Biden just explain why the surge(tm) did NOT work? Jebus. Too complicated for this forum i suppose.

Its really wounderful. These ppl are really talking on issues, there is passion and not much spinning either. I wish McCain and Obama would have debated like this.

Lots of Depth and width in the topics too

Oh snaps Joe Biden is starting to drop numbers on his points like he's telling a 3rd grader what to do.

Usage by politicians

U.S. presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin have all used this pronunciation

Also used by Homer Simpson.

And Peter Griffin. "It's nucular dummy, the 's' is silent."

Seems like she went from
not knowing shit
to atleast being able to bullshit.



Improvement ?

Biden's making good points on Afghanistan; his emphasis on the commander saying it and referring to himself third person may be a little too much.

Apparently she was told to squeeze Maverick in as much as possible. Anyone who knows past and present McCain knows he's not been a maverick in a LOOOOONG time.

What's there to be surprised about? Palin is simply repeating talking points so far that she memorized.

Everyone predicted that she would make some catastrophic error or mis-speak severely, haven't seen it yet

And I remember reading something recently that said she would do "fine" if she stuck to what she knows and avoided everything else...seems like she is doing a good job at that.

Biden comes off as somewhat of a massive dick though IMHO.

Biden is always that way. Same thing with the 3rd person bit.

Palin has been making some improvements since getting the unexpected call up from the farm league, but I think it's pretty obvious that she's not ready for the big league yet.

A: We need a surge in Afghanistan.

She answered it. She said only as a deterrent. You probably missed it because it was only 1% of her speech.

Sounds like a South Park episode. If I send them $1, will I get a goat back?
