Biden / Palin VP Debate, Oct 2nd @ 9PM EST

OH.
MY.
GOD.

Thank god it ended, I think my ears were about to start bleeding.

Ok, so Palin didn't tank, but she sure didn't hit it out of the ballpark. And here's a tip, if you don't really know a General's name, don't say it.

Biden was terrific, IMO. He even had a real "moment" there! (my husband turned and gave me a fist bump on that one )

In all honesty, I liked the format of the first Presidential debate much better. I felt like BOTH of VP candidates just said their canned, planned pieces for the most part. Biden strayed from this a little more, or didn't come off quite as canned, but doggone it, I found the whole thing to be pretty boring and too prepared.

ETA: I want our President and Vice President to sound businesslike and professional so the relaxed language really bothers me. It has bothered me with Bush too during his entire Presidency.

She has an amazing wardrobe.
She connects with the "home on the range" folk.
She held her own.
She is an interesting speaker.
She was well-rehearsed.
She stayed on her talking points.
She kept looking down at her notes.
She didn't answer most of the questions.
She is long-winded (i though that was a Biden thing ).
She did better than I expected...
BUT, She didn't impress me.
REPUBLICANS, YOU CAN BREATHE NOW!!

ETA: Mr. McCain, sir... can Sarah do some interviews now? Pwwweeaasee

I know she has a young baby but I felt that she was using him as an attention-getter at the end..

HELLOOO, I'm sure there is someone in Alaska who could have babysat for a few hours!

(BTW, loved the Lieberman line from above )
