It wouldn't make any difference. It's obvious you didn't watch both Palin's interview with Courick and Tina Fey's portrayal on SNL. There was a long segment where Fey simply quoted Palin's replies verbatim. The only difference was, the SNL audience got to laugh at Palin's absurd rambling. :laugh:

Beautiful bullshit. Why don't you put those quotes in context, when Hillary and Joe Biden were running against Obama in the Democratic primaries?
Better yet, you could find their current quotes, especially the ones where they explain exactly why you're blowing smoke, now. :roll:
Yea, I think Palin's going to do much better in the debate, especially with the expectations set this low.
The narrative around Palin is that she doesn't know what she's talking about & is woefully lacking in essential foreign policy/economic knowledge. There's been no evidence to the contrary, so how is that narrative 'deceitful'?

SHe is making the conservative radio rounds today.
She is using the term "joe-sixpack" to describe herself.
and that its about time "joe-sixpack" is represented by the Vice Presidency.
:roll:
edit: she also implied that Katie Couric behaved unethically in her interviews with Palin.

And yet the 'unqualified' guy stood toe to toe with the 'experienced' candidate on his best issue and by most people's opinion came out on top. This is what we've been saying from the beginning. The experience thing has always been ridiculous (as I've always said). It's about ability to do the job. That's what's different about Obama and Palin. Neither one is very experienced, but Obama has the ability to do the job, to think on his feet, and to adapt to new situations. Palin obviously....obviously does not. Obama handled a debate with a hostile 'expert' in foreign policy all by himself for 90 minutes. Palin couldn't even handle Katie Couric.
Obama in some ways is probably a lot like a friend of mine who always irritates me. She's a genius. Even if I'm better than her at something, if you give her an hour or two she's already become better than me. I imagine that's what McCain is wondering right now. He's been doing this crap his whole life and some new guy just showed up and took him to school. That's got to burn.

I believe Palin will actually do well, in a relative sense. Expectations are so incredibly low that she will, like Bush in 2000 and 2004 put on an adequate performance that will be seen as a win. Best I can see Biden doing is a tie, which should be fine to maintain momentum.
I think the chances of a nervous breakdown by Palin are only slightly less than the chances of Biden calling her a dumb bitch 
She's being trained, so at least she'll be able to stand on stage and take it, but she will be in no position to really debate. It will be a slaughter, but Palin seems strong enough emotionally to at least make it through to the end.

Let's not forget, Sarah Palin was elected governor because the former governor was completely corrupt, and she promised to clean up the position. Thus, little skill was required to actually win; all that was needed was someone different promising to not accept bribes and to follow the letter of the law.
Of course, she ended up being just as corrupt, but I doubt that will be brought up at the debate.
expectations for Palin are so low, if she doesn't piss her pants on stage she'll be awarded a medal of freedom and given her own daytime talk show.
Very well - you are now tasked with finding 12 incredibly stupid things that Biden has said beyond the wheelchair mistake. These are the terms that you have set.
Go do it and come back with your results, or risk being called out for partisan bullshit. I know almost nothing about Biden, so I'll happily eat my words if you succeed. I don't expect you will; it's easy to detect Republican bullshit slinging like yours.

Actually, the SNL skit may have been the first time ever where the entire skit quoted the person being parodied.
i.e. in case you didn't know, SNL was more of a re-broadcast with actors rather than fiction.
This is important to keep in mind.
Biden asked a wheelchaired man to get up, realized his mistake, and joked about it. This has absolutely nothing to do with the VP seat.
Sarah Palin lacks the knowledge required to be a VP, as evidenced by her interviews. The only major US court case she can remember is Roe v Wade. It doesn't get much more incompetent than this. I'd at least give her credit for remembering the Scopes trial, since she is against evolution.
The Republicans are trying to play off Palin's gaffes as being similar to Biden's, and they're just wrong.

So her answer to every problem she'd encounter as VP is to kick back and chug a six pack? :Q
Maybe that explains her prep work and perforance on the Couric interview. :laugh:

So do I , after all she's won 2 elections as mayor and beat the incumbent to become governor. And given the format the McCain Palin camp negotiated it more of a speech type deal rater than a true debate. Still, it'll be interesting to hear her responses in the 30 second rebuttals.
Psssst, that's a little like threatening Geraldo Rivera now with exposing him as less than a serious journalist.

The first Presidential debate was largely a rehashing of talking points...neither Obama nor McCain demonstrated an ability to project vision beyond their respective scripts.
I find it interesting that Obama and Biden are attempting to RAISE expectations on Palin's skills as a debater.
The VP format actually plays to Palin and not Biden...Biden is long winded, and often struggles to articulate concise answers to complex questions...I actually see Palin doing quite well in the rebuttals, even if she does provide scripted answers.
Best Case Scenario for Biden: He demonstrates a higher level of comfort and mastery over the responses.
Worst Case Scenario for Biden: The clock ticks down on Biden in his responses, and he spends his rebuttals clarifying his previous statements.
Best Case Scenario for Palin: She comes out fighting, catches Biden off guard and puts him on the defensive.
Worst Case Scenario for Palin: She has a deer in the headlights moment, crashes and burns.
Last I check Barrackstar was saying the right thing, "Change we can believe in" at the right place and right time.
Doesn't he snort coke off of hoes legs?
Best thing for Sarah is to return to Alaska. She's a good woman with an 85% approval rating. She is much too good for a totally biased MSM, the snobbery in Washington, and the cocaine snorters of SNL. She's actually has an interest in doing service for people, sans 85% approval rating. Washington doesn't deserve a woman of this quality. Palin out of the 4 of them brings the best hope for real change.
I couldn't do the job she does and i know for a fact that 100% of you donut eating AT'ers that have nothing but time to post farts in the wind can't manage your way out of a paper bag.
:laugh

These are just painful to watch. All I can say now is what the hell was McCain thinking when he picked this babbling chimp to be his VP?
Seems a tad biased, Mr. Moonbeam: McCain is somewhat seasoned while Biden is a well vetted national party leader. On the brighter side, though, Moonbeam typically has some of the most interesting posts within these forums!!
