    That's a very strong criticism of Cheney - not mixing his words.

    Cheney's approval rating is lower than Bush's, isn't it? He's right to blast him.


    If Palin talks about how she's middle class, whilst mentioning her husband's name, I'll scream.

    "City on a middle" wasn't coined by Reagan. I think it's a biblical reference, that's been used regarding the US for a hundred years or so.

    From BBC:
    "Marc Ambinder, The Atlantic: Palin gets the name of the commander general in Afghanistan wrong: he's McKiernan, not McClellan. She does not know who he is, clearly"


    This confused me. I thought she might've been referring to Scott McClellan, former White House press secretary. I hope this is picked up on.

    Wonder if Biden knew this but refrained from mentioning it

    Biden killing Cheney as VP.

    Yupe experience as a mom is just what you need to be VP - FFS

    The wrapping herself in the flag is a bit of a joke.

    Nice one by Biden placing his and Barack's record against McCain and whoever, to highlight Palin's experience

    Biden doing a nice job on combatting Mom Palin and what she has to offer.

    Once again she's using the same phrases when opening her responses - it's unfortunate that it clearly takes her 10-15 seconds to get into her stride, as once she gets going she's not that bad, but still a distant second to her opponent.

    It's a simple choice of vocabulary - and it makes quite a big difference.

    On the other hand he's very diverse in his vocabulary, although he struggled there speaking about raising a family. Did he stumble, or was he a wee bit chokey? I wasn't watching, just heard the pause and he'd gotten back on track by the time I changed screens.

    Biden choking there, wish he wasn't so likeable so I could say something about him being a bigger girl than Palin.

    OH EXCELLENT rebuttal of any sexism.

    Nice comeback by Biden there on the maverick issue, clear candid points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,196 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Finally challenged the maverick tag. atta boy.

    Other thing I like is that he isnt spending his time big-upping Obama, he's properly debating the points.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,492 ✭✭✭MementoMori


    OUCH Biden bringing out the big guns on "Maverick" John McCain - maverick but not on things that matter. - Went all guns blazing on that. Solid hit.

    Key tactic, comes across as extremely strong and capable, and doesn't get involved in the handbags

    Great comeback after the stumble/chokey moment, whatever it was?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84,369 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    he was thinking of his sons i think. got him emotional. will probably play in his favor actually


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,492 ✭✭✭MementoMori


    Chokey moment - From BBC

    2121 Now Biden's feeling Main Street's pain, recounting his hard-scrabble upbringing in Pennsylvania, and his hard-luck life story (his wife and infant daughter died in a car accident shortly after he was first elected to the Senate in 1972). Did Biden just choke back tears?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭rollie


    alright who won???

    *cough* BIDEN *cough*excuse me.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg

    I guess michael moore woke up DC with F 9/11: John, Joe and Sarah all have sons in Iraq? Hmm. Good sport on Biden to bring up John's son.
