since tonight moderator will be sitting in a wheelchair, or at least has a cast on her leg... maybe palin can make it a point to say "i wont ask you to stand madam, my opponent would like to though."Joe ex PNG wrote:If only she didn't make a gaffe a minute, you know, like asking people in wheelchairs to stand up and be recognized

So it becomes a 3 way debate. Last time she was in one of those, she got elected governor.Bullspit wrote:As for unbiased debate moderators. It doesn't happen. The Mainstream media that is generally the talent (and I use that word loosely) pool for these things are clearly and overwhelmingly supporting Obama. We just have to live with it.

It doesn't matter how Sarah Palin will do in the debate; the liberals and the Media will respond only to what Tina-Fey-as-Sarah-Palin says when she lampoons the debate Sat. night.

I got ask: are there still any undecided voters? Can we have the election already?

Re: Predict Palin's Debate Performance
I'd have a 3-way debate with me, Palin, and Anne Hathaway.So it becomes a 3 way debate.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

You could save time by arguing with them about the odds of that ever happening, since no matter what your evening is going to end in a math debate.workinwifdakids wrote:I'd have a 3-way debate with me, Palin, and Anne Hathaway.So it becomes a 3 way debate.

Re: Predict Palin's Debate Performance
What I would like to see, if the questioning starts veering towards the circumstances of the latest child's birth, is for Gov. Palin to tell the questioner to Go to Hell, then walk off the stage and not return.

Re: Predict Palin's Debate Performance
At 20 minutes after the hour, the debate is approaching its end. I think Palin did okay... if expectations were low I'd say she's exceeded them. She hasn't really flubbed anything. Biden is good, though I think he's lying and talking out both sides of his mouth at times. I think perhaps she's been a bit too folksy at times.

She closed with my all time favorite Reagan quote
I think I am in love
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
