I'm donating to Joe tonight.

She was a mess.

Shout out to 3rd grade class, while our economy is falling apart.
Lacking Empathy when Biden spoke of his loss.
Goofed and said 'the toxic mess on Main street, affecting Wall Street'.
It doesn't matter what causes Global Warming
White Flag of surrender condescention.
Wants more power than Dick Cheney.
She comes from a "diverse" family.


There are more....

2. I do think you have the best gaffs posted. The main street
taking the blame for the toxic mess causing trouble for wall street was the worst for me though.

4. so many of her lines fell flat
in the beginning (for "what will you have to back down from that you promised because of the bail out") when she said "Well, I haven't really promised anything, I've only been doing this for what, 5 and a half weeks!"


Also, her "I'm so happy that we both love Israel!" comment to Biden, that dripped with sarcasm. Biden showed great restraint in this debate, but this was the only place I saw him sigh and look down, like "Who the fuck does this lady think she is?"

8. "Say it ain't so Joe" ;) Email from Biden about the debate..
cha --

If you saw tonight's debate, you saw Governor Sarah Palin give a spirited defense of the same disastrous policies that have failed us for the past eight years.

She couldn't identify a single area where she or John McCain would change George W. Bush's economic or foreign policy positions.

If you want something different, Barack and I need your help.

Will you make a donation of $25 or more right now to bring about the change we need?

The change we need is fixing this broken economy from the bottom up -- not tax breaks for the wealthy and huge corporations that ship U.S. jobs overseas. We need to focus on defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban and restoring America's standing in the world -- not an unending commitment in Iraq.

Let's be clear: Governor Palin and Senator McCain are offering nothing but more of the same failed Bush policies at home and abroad, trying to disguise them in the rhetoric of change.

Americans need real solutions and real change.

We're in this together and there's a lot to do before Election Day. Please make a donation of $25 or more right now to support this campaign for change:

https://donate.barackobama.com/changeweneed

This is the most important presidential election you'll be part of in your life.

Thank you for all that you're doing.

Now let's get to work and change this country,

Joe

12. She talks about policy as if it were a bucket
"We gotta get some oversight in there"

"We've got to put an anything goes approach in there"


Let's turn the bucket into a bag, and send her packing already.

13. Palin didn't debate the issues
She just spewed right wing talking points all night and ignored the moderators questions at will.

When a fellow human being had a touchingly sad moment about the loss of a loved one, bull moose Palin had zero empathy.

No surprises here....

14. You can add this
After the 'say it ain't so doggone it' canned line, she rambled on education, mentioned Joe's wife Jill, and then followed condescendingly with, 'and she gets points in heaven', phoney . . . so disrespectful. I literally wanted to punch her.

Her lacking empathy after what Joe had said . . . that was so jarring.

This phony and pathetic "act" from this shrill hag is the final nail in McCain's coffin. Period.
