Get all four in there - Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin - and let them go at it.

But I was happy to see that at least the questions she did answer were related to the things that she said McCain would have her focused on as VP.<BR/><BR/>Biden also confidently danced around a couple questions although not as many as Palin and he also flip flopped significantly from stances he had even in the primary.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless it was probably the most pleasant debate in modern history. I think Palin won by not losing what was supposed to be a first round knock-out. <BR/><BR/>But when it is all said and done the democrats should pretty much win this election with a two word answer to every question and those two words are "George" and "Bush". Tarzan could win this election, "You George Bush. Me not". If the democrats don't win this time they should really cash it in. Biden seemed to understand that as he worked "dubya" into every answer.<BR/><BR/>I still think they should have one "all in" debate where they let the likes of Ralph Nader in to stir it up with solid answers and real issues. These debates are the equivalent of watching people bat in a softball cage, which isn't unpleasant.Wolfenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804760904730752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14925914.post-90480146672428872832008-10-03T10:13:00.001-04:002008-10-03T10:13:00.001-04:00I will based my vote solely on the Murphy v.

"This is simply not true about Barack Obama," he said. <BR/><BR/>The facts: At a news conference in New York City in September 2007, Obama was asked, "Senator, you've said before that you'd meet with President Ahmadinejad … would you still meet with him today?" He replied: "Yeah, nothing's changed with respect to my belief that strong countries and strong presidents talk to their enemies and talk to their adversaries."<BR/><BR/><BR/>is this a complete and intelligent answer? <BR/><BR/>No neutral undecided voter would see it as one. <BR/><BR/>"Republicans are going to be reassured by Palin's performance.

Any unbiased person would see that Biden answered almost every question completely and intelligently. Palin avoided any question she hadn't rehearsed an answer to. I question the competence of anyone who thought she sounded competent.<BR/><BR/>And why am I not invited to these Racquetball games? Is it because I publicly question your competence on your web log?

Listening to the candidates and their VPs debate is enlightening to me-and not some sort of cheerleading pep rally.<BR/><BR/>Look, Sarah Palin came off as rehearsed and unknowledgable to me. There were analysts who found her approach to be favorable because "real" Americans liked her simple, (non)-answers to questions as opposed to the factually and experience-supported answers of Joe Biden.<BR/><BR/>I'd prefer to believe that there are "real" Americans who want a candidate (and a VP) who understand the complexities of our international relationships, the intricacies of our economy, the fact that the VP office IS in the executive branch. Sarah Palin does not. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line-I'm a "real" American and I'd prefer a VP candidate not to dumb down their answers so that all we hear is the same rally rhetoric used at the Republican convention. I want to hear about specific plans on the issues. Palin failed to deliver on that.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528445259375253993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14925914.post-91952747927624524252008-10-03T09:00:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:00:00.000-04:00i heart cereal and snickersi heart cereal and snickersalisaferrarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030763988881205181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14925914.post-59006904307978692872008-10-03T08:43:00.000-04:002008-10-03T08:43:00.000-04:00this sort of goes back to what I wrote about the o...this sort of goes back to what I wrote about the other day.
