Biden vs. Palin VP Debate, Contest of Contests Options

[Hellfighter]

Damnnnnn

Ok, Robert - I love to hate to say this about you,
but you did it again - another prophetic call on your part. She did very well.

Who was THIS Palin?

Steady as a rock she was.....
From the War in Iraq session on she was visibly looking to go at it no holds barred with Biden.
Kudos to Palin's prep team.
A couple of slip ups on her part on foreign policy and a couple of domestic issues but she was very poised and solid. Mission accomplished for her in my opinion.

Biden was 'Johnny on the spot' to edge out Palin utilizing the full extent of his experience. I'm not sure Hillary could've topped her. Palin even threw Biden off his game visibly at one point regarding counterattacking Biden's point about the US general in Afghanistan saying the Surge wasn't applicable there.
It looked like he got an uppercut out of nowhere as he recolied for 2 seconds and looked down thinking; 'what the hell did she just do to me!'.
One thing I was fearing was she'd blow it so badly she'd be traumatized by it all her life. I think she can now go back to her room and woot woot all night and do victory somersaults on her bed - she can be proud she didn't fail those who counted on her tonight.

Don't get me wrong, out of the people who ran I think McCain was by far the best pick. The others would have played better to the far right then McCain but that's not what's going to win an it's not best for America.
For overall good person, I would pick Huck without a second though but not the same for his policies.
The Opposite could be said about the 2004 election, While I didn't agree with a lot of Wesley Clark policies. I believed overall he could have been a good leader an would have voted for him if he won the 2004 nomination.
Unfortunately it came down to Bush/kerry an everybody lost.

I'm 100% with you on the poor handling of complains about the MOD. Although in all fairness, I would have expected the other side to do much the same thing if the situation had been reversed.
It still really pisses me of that both MOD let the candidates tap dance around question without really answering how the current financial crisis effects their tax/spending platform.
I can only hope Tom Brokaw makes these people answer the question.
