"Can I call you Joe?"
Ugh. NO. You may not. No folksy bullshit, lady.
Who else is watching now?

John McCain. John McCain. John McCain. John McCain. John McCain.
BINGO!!
She's shaking and breathing hard...so nervous.
Are you watching the undecided voter graphic on CNN?
"You know what I had to do in the state of Alaska????"
Ugh. She talks to everyone like we're all a bunch of slow learners.
I don't get that graphic on CNN... I just turned to it... Is the positive a response to the candidate speaking at the moment? So much technology for my tiny brain.
Yes...please explain the CNN graphic, I'm interested in knowing what it's showing us.
It's undecideds in Ohio responding immediately to their answers. It's interesting. The orange is Women and Green is men's response. The higher on the graph, the more positive the sort of visceral response to what is being said.
That was a deft subject change to energy because she didn't know the answer to the question about mortgage.
Enough of the fucking "my energy producing state" BS. I'm so sick of her repeating the mantra.
She's holding up, though. Nothing too embarrassing yet. She's memorized all her lines. Good job, Sarah (I say as I pat her on the head).
She has a great way of stating the fucking obvious! She makes me tired
Anon 6:35 - not shit. She acts like she produces it herself. Like churning butter.
Where is Biden's personality?
Is it bugging anyone that she stares into the camera? I think it's very effective yet it's very Miss Alaska of her.
When she looks into the camera, I have to look away. It's almost as if she's in my personal space or when a stranger catches you staring at them. Weird...huh?
The Ohio men seem to respond very positively to her looking right into the camera. Seriously.
Stick Miss Alaska's tiara up her ass! What a bimbo!
NUKE-U-LAR
BINGO!
She's flat-lined on CNN!
hahahahahaha, elizabeth
Bad, bad hair! Leaning to a point on one side like Gumby!
"Aww, I'm so glad we both love Israel, Joe!!!"
Best line of the night.
And there goes another Maverick thrown out.
maverick -
BINGO!
(am I the only one playing cuz I am clearly winning...)
Nathan and I are drinking everytime she says "maverick", "darn", "hockey mom" and (if she says) "lipstick"
We're totally wasted
I'm a bad mother. I'm so engrossed in this that I'm allowing my 20 month old son eat sugar straight. "Here honey, you want to dip you finger in the box of sugar, let me pour you a little bowl so I can get back to the debates and not have to supervise you".
Nuke-u-lar weaponry.......She must have attended the same "hooked on phonics" class as George Bush!
Wasted enough for me to come over and try to make out with Nathan? Cuz that's what I am after here. Let me make a move. It's what Israel wants. Izzy told me.
I think I am wasted, too.
Hello G - I am not really playing bingo. I am too lazy. I just kind of look at the card and shake my head. Plus, we know you are totally kicking our asses.
Joe Biden can say "nuclear".......why can't she catch on and say it properly?
She's doing a really fucking competent job here. Holy shit.
(And maybe that's just because she's not embarrassing herself.)
I think the same people that say real-a-tor also say nuke-u-lar. Must be a speech impediment.
I'm not really playing either but you didn't know that, did you?
While S.P. was just writing notes, my daughter said, "I'll bet she's drawing pictures of her and John McCain making out after hunting - with little hearts around it." :-)
Yeah, she's got a peech intediment........LOL
Oh, nosedive on her corny washington outsider bulshit.... yay Ohio.
hitting the refresh button to read the comments here is even better than filling out my bingo card!
HG - how old is your daughter? That is hysterical...
oooh! "divestment" Triple Word Score!
Is she reading off cue cards?
Ha! She's 17.
Oh, yeah, go Joe! Oh, yeah, Ohio! It's playing in Peoria.
Mavericks........ugh....what horseshit!
HG - you need to come to our next Palm Springs event.
She's shaking and has a stupid smile glued on her face...."Oh Joe, there you go again"....aaarrrrgh!
doggone it? wtf? is this a L'il Abner comic strip? Ugh.
Shout out????
Remember when Tina Fey did the finger-gun things in the fake interview with SNL-Couric when fake-Katie asked, when you're backed in a corner do you just get cuter.
STOP BEING CUTE, PALIN!
Yeah, and she's "Daisy May"! You betcha! LOL
Classic pretty girl syndrome.
She rambles on without saying a damned thing!
Oh, boy! Palm Springs!
I loved that Tina Fey thing - pe-ew pe-ew, chin on hand, eyelash flutter.
Yay, Joe! Thank you for bashing that a-hole Cheney! I love it that you tell the truth!
Let's talk about Joe. How does everyone think he's doing? I think he's an old pro at this debate thing.
President Reagan.
BINGO!
I win.
Could she just not answer a question straight on? And this is the first time I've ever heard she and her husband went through a time of not having health insurance. And I wanted to scream when she said that Biden's wife's reward, as a teacher, would be in Heaven. I need another drink.
Yes! Cry! So tender. I love him so much.
There's that "maverick" word again.......
maverick. again? fuck me running.
I love Joe.
Oh, you tell 'em.
(If I hear Maverick one more time and James Garner doesn't appear, I am goin' to vomit.)
Is it superficial of me to wonder what she's wearing?
I keep waiting for James Garner to sweep out of the wings and say, Lady, you're no maverick ...
Clap, clap, clap.
Joe Biden sure does know the facts. It's good that someone on that stage does!
"Maverick" has a different tone coming from Joe. Love it!
Oh shit! B's laying the Maverick smack down!
Palin looks like she's going to crap herself.
Hey, someone stick a flashlight to her ear and make her eyes light up!
I'm so glad Biden gave an example of changing his mind. And of course Palin says she's never had to change her mind!!! Help me. Please. Help me.
God, I hate her accent.
By the time this night is over she's gonna be so upset she'll probably need to go shoot a few Bullwinkle's to cheer herself up......
Who is sick of the walk-the-walk, talk-the-talk comment????
Yeah, her "Hee Haw" accent is getting to me, too. Nauseating..
That whole early "I may not answer questions the way you Washington insiders want me to" thing really was true. She hasnt really answered any of them.
The insincerity just leaks out of her.
My daughter just said her hair looks like Medusa's (from the back).
Just sharin' cuz I thought it was funny.
I wish Iffill had said, But Governor, I need you to answer the question I asked. That's what a debate is all about.
mainstream media.... it's like she still had tokens at Chuck E Cheese and just HAD to spend 'em.
"I didn't get to talk about the media! Shit!"
I hope she doesn't jump in with another talking point she boned up on and didn't get a chance to talk about.
Hee Haw accent is the funniest thing anyone has every said about her. I am dying.
Everything she says sounds like a damn commercial for McCain.
Does Biden look like he's had a li'l work done? Like around eyes?
She sounds like a little kid reciting in a grammar school play.....All memorized, and not necessarily understood.....
I think it's wok-the-wok, tock-the-tock...
And you are right, A.L., she has not answered many of the questions. She has reverted back to her tocking points.
She sounds like a little kid reciting in a grammar school play.....All memorized, and not necessarily understood.....
Just finishing. 3 winks from her and I'm gagging. I wish I knew you were on.
OK, it's funny watching the Biden kids meet the Alaska crew.
And now for your viewing pleasure, Anderson Cooper.
So, do you think she was wearing Depends tonight? You betcha!
She has surely proven that she doesn't know her ass from her elbow, but is great at memorizing and repeating McSame's talking points.
Anderson Cooper's gayness truly makes me weep.
WHY ANDERSON? Why can't you just love me? Why can't you be on my team? All I want to do all day is make out with Anderson Cooper.
Night, night!
g'night A.L.! Thanks for playing along.
me, too. it's bedtime in de. xo
"Good night, David." "Good night, Chet." "Good night, John Boy."
For someone who's been on the national stage for 5 weeks (vs. Biden's 20+ years), Palin MORE than held her own. She may not be pro-choice, but she's a smart, tough woman who has accomplished a lot in the state of Alaska, and I was impressed with her and what she has had to learn in the last month. Biden is definitely more qualified than she is, but I think she bests Obama for sure. He's accomplished absolutely nothing compared to her.
I went out to dinner, saw the last part. I didn't know a debate meant that you could ignore the question, recite a soundbite regardless of its relevancy. Hmm. I might be good at politics, myself.
She kicked ass, you all know it, and it scares you to see that Obama might just go down the drain. So, instead of talking about the fact that she put Biden in a corner and forced him to admit that they are AGAINT GAY MARRIAGE, you sit around and talk about her accent and her hair.
Gosh darnit!
Don'tcha know!
*wink wink*
Gold folks.
*projectile vomit*
Um, were you watching the same debate? She danced around that issue and Biden was like, "Yep. We oppose gay marriage." He was so matter-of-fact about it. And then she basically said, "I have the same position as Biden."
I think she did a good job... because her only job was to NOT sound like a moron. Not a high bar, but she sure met it. You're right on that.
"she kicked ass" = She didn't fall to the ground and swallow her tongue.
robyn:
You would be much happier in a gay marriage. We need to set you up with one of those Palin girls. You could help carry the baby around! It would be the Lord's work.
I thought she did well. Very well. Biden sounded much more knowledgeable, but he's been around for 30 plus years. She's up to the job (especially with the unrelenting beating she has taken for the past 6 weeks).
Anon @7:31: Yes. And botox as well.
For the record, this Texan is all for gay marriage, as are a lot of republicans down here in Austin and San Antonio. What sickens me is the credit that Obama receives for being in support of it when that has never, ever been the truth.
And Decorno, we must not have been watching the same debate because when the question was fielded to Biden he danced around by misstating the constitution and talking about equality and hospital visits. It was Palin who said (and I am paraphrasing all that follows) "I am not going to speak in nuances: we do not support gay marriage." Then the moderater took PALIN'S words and PUT THEM TO BIDEN: "Not speaking in nuances, where do you stand on gay marriage?" and he had no choice to flat-out answer the question that he had just dodged.
Why would he ever answer that directly without being prodded? He'd be held responsible for calling attention to a huge misimpression the American people have held for months.
"What sickens me is the credit that Obama receives for being in support of it"
Robyn sweetie,
You're so thoroughly, completely wrong.
I don't know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis, but THIS issue I do follow, and I've ALWAYS known that Obama's position was "no gay marriage."
It's been clear and public and open for years. Any American having a "huge misimpression" about Obama's position is too lazy to check the actual record.
robyn, you can Google "Obama" and "gay marriage" and learn his publicly stated position in about 2.1 seconds.
NO politician wanting to be elected U.S. president would want "credit" for advocating gay marriage. In this country and this time, it's campaign suicide, robyn.
Come on. Think. If you have "misimpressions," sometimes it's your own fault.
Well, let's look at the bright side - - at least we're all on the right side of that issue, even if those weenie politicians are not.
i so meant to jump in on this sooner, and then i got caught up in a similar 'live blogging' situation on my facebook that had to do with the status i wrote... so basically nobody cares anymore, but ...
a) damn sarah for actually looking somewhat competent. although the expectations were so low, it's not like she could have really done much to get worse.
b) i agree with the best line of the night - i'm glad we all like israel? WTF??? she's so damn condescending about it too.
c) if that bitch gets any more june cleaver canadian i'm gonna punch her overbleached teeth into her pretty little head. grrrr!!!
*whew* thanks, i needed that.
If it were not for her notes, that she looked at constantly (when not grinning stupidly at the camera), she would not have answered a single question. Oh wait! She didn't answer any questions! She just danced around them......
Of *COURSE* she held her own...
It was because she was reading the same 10 answers over and over again.
It's like they gave her a list and said "Whatever you do, bitch, don't stray from this list. We will cut you."
"By the Way, Joe, Let's TALK about inergy..."
There was this one time, in band camp.. I mean.. In Alaska...
Hey, anon at 9:24, say what you want-- Obama supporters were SHOCKED to hear it last night-- the internet is on fire with stories about it this morning. No misimpressions here. Just because you knew it (or claim to know it now) doesn't mean that the rest of, the majority of, or even a huge fraction of his supporters knew it. They did not-- and he was going to let them keep thinking that way all the way to the voting booth.
And calling me sweetie just makes you look like a typical scared anonymous liberal, so go right ahead.
Dear Robyn:
Sweetie. Darling. Sugar bear. Honey Dumpling. Boo Bear. Love Bug.
Anyone who has been following the campaign- really, REALLY following the Campaign knew that. If you have a question about a specific stand, you research it. Doesn't take much seeing as we have the whole internet thing and all.
Confounded modern technology. You know, Robyn, May I call you that? In Alaska...
I so wanted to reach into the t.v. and pick that little chunk of hair in her eye out.
She kept blinking with it in there and it was driving me berzerk.
To the anon this morning re. Palin's hair stuck to her eyelash--YES. (Also, was she wearing fake lashes?) It was driving me totally crazy. I got a good belly laugh this morning out of my best friend saying that they were calling them Speed Bangs in the bar where she was watching.

I'm so glad everyone's hitting on the important issues here...like the pronunciation of "nuclear."
While it's not technically the correct pronunciation, it looks like Palin and Bush are not the first to fall prey to metathesis, the switching of two adjacent sounds. And if you pronounce "iron" as "eye-yern" instead of "eye-ron," you do it too. Even the democrat's beloved Clinton has mispronounced nuclear (along with Eisenhower and Carter). It's listed as a usage for the word in Merriam-Webster. If you'd like to fight MW on it, they'll send you a letter defending it.
So, um back to the issues. Gosh, I'd like to see what you do tolerant people do to people with dyslexia.
(Full disclosure: got my info from an article on Slate)
As a Obama non-supporter, I've known all along that he is against gay marriage.
But what does that say about your candidate that you have to research his stance on a subject to know how he feels about it?
Talk about her bangs, talk about her accent, talk about her looking at her notes, talk about her "talking points." She blew everyone away and you know that or you wouldn't be posting up here right now. Even democratic leaders are saying she won the debate.
If she'd gone out there without being so prepared you'd all be saying, "OMG! why didn't she just bring some notes with her?" and "WTF? All she had to do was memorize some talking points to get by!" but instead, let's talk about her eyelashes.
And decorno, with regard to McCain calling it quits for Michigan and Obama always seeing this as a race in 50 states (or 57, whatever): just because you don't read about or acknowledge Obama pulling out of states doesn't mean it hasn't already happened or that he didn't bother campaigning there in the first place. All McCain did was admit it.
Robyn: "Even democratic leaders are saying she won the debate."
Right, then.
Robyn, what planet are you on?
We can talk about someone's eyelashes if we want to. Free Country.
And, You. Are. Wrong.
She didn't kick ass. She didn't fall on her face. She did o.k. She clearly didn't WIN the debate. You have to be pretty intelligent to win a debate against Biden. All she did was dodge questions and keep repeating the same answers. Of course she sounded somewhat competent. Speech writers gave he a list of allowed responses.
Robyn, you make no sense. You say you are for gay marriage, yet support a candidate that is against it - then your single criticism of the Obama/Biden is that they are also against it. Your impression as to whether most people know this about the Obama platform is just that, an impression. Unless you are conducting a scientific poll yourself or can point to one, you are in no position to quantify who is believing what.
In the debate is was Palin sidestepping around whether the constitution guaranteed equal civil liberties to same sex couples {not gay marriage} and whether McShame/Palin would support that through their policies.
Robyn:
She did not "kick ass" and she did not "blow everyone away" (except maybe McCain, and maybe that's why he chose her. WINK,WINK!!). She tried to charm everyone with her wink and smile so they wouldn't notice her lack of knowledge. As the old saying goes, "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit!" She was knee deep......
