I supported Obama and Biden. Everyone knew that Palin won the debate & CNN is BIAS. Shame on you.

Debate? I must have missed it. All I saw was a candidate for the VP position ‘make a speech’, rather, a collection of short speeches. What question was answered? Much of the time I thought I was watching an i-POD in operation - push the change switch and get a recorded response regardless of the question. And the attacks on poor Gwen Ifill didn’t help; she seemed to hesitate in her responses to avoid being accused of being biased.

John McCain sure picked a winner. And I supported him in 2000!!

Biden won the debate hands down! Palin gets honorable mention for showing up and debating with herself. She is not the average hockey mom or representative of Joe 6-pack, she is however a clever, ambitious young woman that knows what she wants and knows how to get it, “Power”, need I say more. She was disrespectful to Joe Biden and the American people to think that anyone would fall for this I do as I want, say what I want and you got to go along with it. I think Biden was a respectful gentleman doing the entire event. however I would have hailed him if he would have just said “Please take your prisky little backside back to Alaska and hunt moose, so that we can heal this nation that is in serious pain, and we don’t need your I’m a Maverk, drill baby drill, and empty promises”

I give Palin a pass, in that she achieved her very low expectations everyone was given her. She beat the spread, because everyone figured she’d flop big time. But will people actually vote for her because she didn’t go crying off the stage? Anyone who believes Palin won has to have blinders on, or are just plain blind. If I asked the Vice President a question as a citizen of this country, and she chose to answer a totally different question, I would say I would have no trust in them. That is exactly what she did throughout the debate, and even said it at the end, that she would not choose to answer the questions but will make up her own and answer them. That says to me “deceit, lack of integrity, weak character, and plain ugliness”. I mean look how desparate they are now, trying to drum up a connection between Obama and a “known terrorist”.

By the way, I have never heard anybody use that stupid accent in my years of growing up in Alaska. “I betcha…” “I’ll get back to yuh…”? She doesn’t represent a thing I stand for as an Alaskan; and as a matter of fact, she represents everything I despise about narrowminded, closeminded, ugliness we find in the most radical part of this country. I once had great respect for McCain for his service to our country, but it has dropped immensely after his choice of Palin. She knows nothing about policy, foreign affairs, or the economy, and has nothing to show but ugly hateful tactics….sorry for rambling, but there is so much to fear about this woman - so much ugliness about her.

I can’t understand how anybody can vote for a ticket, that has Palin. She is a minor leager, and does’nt have any knowledge of whats going on in our country. Can you imagine her as President, if McCain should win and something would happen to him. It’s a shame, that these are the best canidates we have to choose from.

Sara Palin won the debate with Joe Biden by a very large margin. I will be voting for McCain and Palin, for the first time in twenty years I am going to vote for a Republican for president and Vice President. Sara Palin has great potential to be the next president of the United States. She has the winning personality of Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher with the courage to kick butt when necessary.

I have to agree to with Keisha here, you have to be rich, racist or illiterate to vote for the republican regime in Nov. Here are the facts, John McCain has voted with George Bush over 90% of the time in the past 8 years, our families are losing jobs, homes, cars, basically the foundamentals they need to live. I am blessed to live in a upper middle class neighborhood, they are all voting for John McCain (going by the sign on the lawn here) they are not feeling the pinch. Sarah Palin is pretty & brilliant, however at no time did she state what the McCain-Palin ticket will do in the future, her strategy is to attack the Obama-Biden ticket as her answer to questions. I am not a devoted democrat, I will vote for the republicans if I could just hear what their plan is. Obama-Biden have repeated their plans over and over. In fact I can almost memorize them, all I’m waiting for is an organized plan from the republican camp so I can compare. Not constant criticism of the other parties plan.

another four-years of republican domination would be like someone sleeping on a bed of
nails. NOW THIS WOULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE TO BELIEVE MCCAIN LET ALONE VOTE
FOR HIM OR HIS SO-CALLED VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Watching the debate reassured me that Biden is more qualified than Palin to be the next V.P. of America. She was an insult to her party and to educated women in America. I clearly dont understand how people can support a party that has placed us in such a horrible financial crisis. Bailing out corporations that have made billions over the past several years, but this is a free country. Americans should think about how the working class is suffering. Washington has made the rich richer, the middle class - working their a– off and the poor even poorer. We need someone who can balance this country-where people are not struggling as they are today. People are out of work, homeless, in the process of losing their houses, dont have medical coverage and even jobless. The rich dont make this country-the people as a whole do. Palin can not be compared to Obama or Biden-point blank -she’s not qualified. She does not have the education or the experience. Is the American people scared of change or are you affraid of a educated black person running this country. Obama & Biden understand what the working class is in dire need of. McCain nor Palin JUST DONT GET IT.

THE October 2 debate was won by the Washington outsider, non- Harvard graduate, small town girl from no where. With just 5 weeks in the campaign compare that with Obama’s 18 months. What happened to those elites from Washington DC Obama and Biden. Let me see along came Sara Palin O yes, yes, yes. To take the country back from the Feds in Washington. Say it ain’t so to take America back to the people.
