Debates of all ilk - Page 8

The value of that depends on who exactly they're talking to. I don't suspect the man on the street interview from Paris is any less idiotic than your average man on the street interview from Chicago.

Unless they're going to political observers in which case they are just providing their unofficial spin in place of the official spin.

My view (I did end up watching): Neither particularly embarrassed themself, neither particularly excelled. Everybody will generally come out liking better whoever liked better before.

So surprised that Palin declined to be interviewed afterwards. Can't effing wait for the VP debate.

The debate has not yet occured so I cannot provide a link.....

I don't know if you are familier with an MTV animated series called Daria. If you are I refer you to the episode titled "Quinn the Brain". That's the best I can do for you for now.

Rest assured, Palin has already won the contest, trust me.

I was referring to the ad that the McCain campaign posted this afternoon stating that he won the debate before it even happened.

Can Tiny Fey play Palin in the VP debates? Please?

CoasterMatt · 09-26-2008, 08:35 PM

I think Palin should quit, then be replaced by Richard Simmons.

This is yummy lemonade...

Solid debate on both sides. I thought McCain came off overly aggressive, but hey, that's what his constituent wants, so he probably considers that a success. I swear to god I caught a George Bush "heh" in there. Obama was solid and remained pretty unrattled, not letting McCain bully his way to the last word every time. They each had their strong moments, but no knock out blows on either side.

For what it's worth, Obama did a better job of picking up on Lerher's oh so subtle proddings to make it convorsational. All theatrics of course, but Mr. Townhall meeting seemed pretty unwilling for a while to step out from behind the moderator. He eventually caught on, but I give Obama the advantage on that aspect by a long shot.
