Um....

The train wreck that I thought may happen hasn't started happening yet. Palin's doing pretty darned well these first 10-15 minutes. It'll be interesting to see if she continues it.

Yeah...she is. It's "well" in the way that it's all perfectly pitched bullshit, but still, well...

[aurordice]

Everything they're saying is perfectly pitched bullshit, but she seems so comfortable in the attack dog role. And she's studied up, too. She's also looking at the camera a lot, too - that's pretty effective.

Though I think she's had a few red bulls beforehand :p

I shoulda been nominated for that icon one!

[aurordice]

I didn't even try to be nominated, it just sorta happened :lol:

[ms_arithmancer]

It is also true of you, I suppose. :)

[aurordice]

:lol:

Yeah, it's more laziness on my part than anything else.

[matthewrodney]

the one thing i noticed is that she refuses to actually answer the questions - but she does it in a way that its not so obvious.

[aurordice]

Yes, but Biden isn't answering them either. To me, they're both doing better than McCain and Obama did the other night - they both seem "on" right now. There's still an hour, but she's far more effective than I thought she'd be so far.

[loveweasleys04]

YES!!!

She isn't doing good, she is just getting off the topic and talking about what she wants too. She didn't even address Biden's comment about the Bridge to No Where...which was an awesome BOOYAH moment.

She also changed the subject and didn't address McCain's tax breaks she just talks about what she knows....Alaska.

The first answer I really cringed at was she garbled the beginning of the climate change question but then she's come back strong.

[lillbet]

Are we watching the same debate? Kidding... sorta...

She needs to stop talking about Alaska. I don't fucking CARE (pardon, but I've been doing a shot for every mention of Alaska and I'm toasted) about HER STATE OF ALASKA.

And she's so wrong on environmental stuff... *hic*

[aurordice]

*lol* I think I need to catch up to you.

Ooh, I don't like the gay marriage answer. But Gwen Ifill asked a mean question, lol. Ifill's doing really well too.

[lillbet]

CATCHIP, TOATO.

Fooey. That was supposed to be "catch up tomato". And't time. Not giong to fix it. DEAL. XP

I fucking love you! YES!!! I think Biden is having some pretty good BOOYAH moments.

*hic*

[matthewrodney]

ohhh biden!! "with all due respect, i did not hear a plan"

[aurordice]

Best line of the debate so far. Liz identified that and the Ifill line, which was second best :lol:
