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.

I personally thought she was terrible. And I really wanted her to do well. She flat out refused to answer 75% of the questions and kept going back to the energy crisis and being mayor of Podunk AK... it also amazes me how they don't even bother to listen to the questions. Yet alone answer them. Like when the moderator asked something to the effect of "under what conditions would you say use of nuclear weapons would be justified" that's not how it was said but that's what they were asking... Well I think that the surge in Iraq would work great in Afgan... or I want to go back to the energy crisis... well we didn't ask you about the energy crisis.. it would be nice if the mod actually held them to task on something.... both kept falling back to blah blah blah blah I was a senator/gov/soccer mom... at least they were more respectful than Obama who wouldn't let McCain answer a question without trying to butt in... I vote for none of the above....
