Hi, I couldn’t resist to come back on the board. Though at this early stage I don’t have any profound thoughts – if ever.

Well I don’t agree with you Buster, but that’s nothing new – lol

I’m watching on CNN and they have this graph that shows the male and female opinions of the Ohio uncommitted voters from second to second as each of the candidates speak.
It seems so far male opinions are higher for Palin and female opinions are more in favor of Biden.

Now do you think that is a result of the obvious common denominator (if I'm expressing myself correctly)?

I do agree Palin is holding her own, but in general I'm impressed with Palin as a woman just not as a VP candidate.

**Show-me** · 10-03-2008, 02:10 AM

I'm impressed with her due to the fact that Bidden has much more experience debating and dealing with public speaking and she is holding her own and getting in some good dig on the old guy.

I'm surprised to see Palin holding her own, especially after seeing some of those other interviews.

But they're both just going with the system. Sure, they'll debate how to handle "issues," but whether the issues really exist are not debated. An assumption is being made with most of those debate questions. It is those assumptions that will guide America. It doesn't matter who is in office, since they all agree that the "issues" are the real issues.

Oh I think you are depressed now, fabijo. And depressing.

PS But I think you're right!

Its clear what Palin's strategy going into this was--rehearse 2 or 3 blocks of line and always keep on the script. She's not answering the questions that are even slightly off those tracks. Early in the debate the question was about Pakistan. Palin's response was solely about Energy policy, huh?

Shes talking much better than her Curic interview, but she's not debating at all.

Anyone won Palin Bingo yet?

That's mean spirited.

The drive-by media would call that sexist if it is Hillary Bingo.

I didn't see the katy thing. But Harry Smith was just trying hit on the head with questions. He never let her finish answer before he was asking another one.
