Biden Their Time Looking Palin The Face

October 3rd, 2008 by Baconstrip

So now that the much anticipated Vice Presidential debate is over a scan of the cable news channels reveals the usual partisan post debate spin one would expect regarding Sarah Palin’s performance  – from MSNBC reluctantly admitting Sarah Palin didn’t have a campaign ending stumble & managed to hold her own, for the most part, to Fox news practically masturbating over what a skilled debater Sarah Palin is and how she owned the debate obliterating Joe Biden.

Yeah right.

Both camps accomplished their goal – Joe Biden spoke respectfully, managed to not have any major off the cuff gaffes and stuck to hammering John McCain. Sarah Palin displayed some knowledge of the issues and was able to hold her own against the vastly superior experience of Joe Biden and took some shots at Barack Obama.

After watching the debate, reading the day after analysis and cable news scrutiny of the candidates’ performances here are my Top 10 words or phrases that best describe last night’s debate:

10. exceeded unprecedented low expectations

9. avoid the question whenever possible

8. parrot

7. get all your talking points in no matter what

6. regurgitation

5. non-confrontational

4. did i mention stick to the talking points?

3. non game changer

2. boring

1. irrelevant

In the end neither candidate significantly hurt or helped their ticket. The election is still about Obama and McCain and nothing took place during the debate that will have anyone talking about much past today.

If you had to pick 1 word or phrase that best described or summed up the debate – what would it be?

    That would be — awesome! I’m now going door to door in my neighborhood campaigning for McCain/Palin as I’ve been energized by last night’s debate.

  2. Oxnard says:

    I HATE MCCAIN’S LIES AND STUPIDTY. VOTE FOR HIM AT YOUR OWN DEMISE (AND MINE TOO), YOU IGNORANT SELFISH REPUBLICAN’T

  3. bill says:

    Dismal. Palin was the spunky Disney mom, and Biden was the serious Senator. They were both more interested in making points than in discussion, let alone debate. Palins regurgitation of talking points was pretty awful.

  4. Christopher Wing says:

    Way to go, Matt. I’m energized, too. Me and my fellow KKK members will be joining you in thwarting the black man’s right to vote! They’re not very smart anyways, huh?

    How out of touch are you? Do you really hate science and regulation (think ENRON) and people who are different than you? And do you really want an airhead a heartbeat away from ruining the world?

    Perhaps one day you’ll wake up and magically be moral. But I doubt it.

  5. Chuck says:

    Let’s not forget Chris, that it was the Democrats that fought against the Fannie and Freddie regulations.

  6. niffels noizer says:

    I can’t fucking wait until this fucking election is over with. You people think that whoever gets elected is going to wave a magic wand and fix everything. It’s not gonna happen. It will be the same old bickering between parties and not anything getting done. Maybe this empire crumbling for good.

    Fuck Palin and McCain!!

  8. sarah palin has more guts then any of you…
