sarah palin is etherin' joe biden on style points

[tian]

Sarah Palin's style only masked the lack of substance. The American people didn't go for it. That's why the polls are so lopsided.

Oh, and Sarah Palin's style is this: Attack with a few talking points about the opponent's record. That way, the time focusing on your record will be lessened.

Oh, and she studied Ronald Reagan's debating strategies in Debate Camp down by the river. She used his line "There you go again..." and quoted his best lines at least three times during the debate. It was clearly a tactic.

I'm now 43 minutes in and see absolutely no style points for Palin, just pitiful recitation and dodging, and it is Biden delivering the ether.

I had to stop and make this post the second time he shit-hammered her "doesn't suport the troops" argument by stating loud and clear that John McCain voted against a funding bill just as Obama did. I LOVE the way he didn't let that shit slide.

 

[ICEBURG SLIM]

Yeah She Should Win, Look At Bidens Old Ass,
She's So Much Better Lookin, Its Crazy.........

 

[Costanza]

I cannot believe that Biden's answer on the need to end the genocide in Darfur on the intervention question, she countered with "voted for it before you voted against it" and "Americans are just cravin' that straight talk" while looking straight down with this girlful ignorance schtick and delivering stupid slogans.

Fucking sickening... Sarah Palin ain't got no style...

 

[perm]

she did not lose the game for her team thats all.

The only thing proven last night she's becoming a master of talking her way out of, and around a question

Neither Biden nor Palin did anything to hurt their ticket. Biden didn't come off condescending, and Palin didn't fuck up like everybody thought she would. She did have style points, but I don't think thats all I want in the White House. Palin's points were rehearsed, and to be fair so were Biden's; its politics. Palin avoided certain questions, which I found amusing. She also didn't explain how her ticket is different from the Bush administration. The polls don't lie, and they say Biden won. But I don't think this will change the national polls. This debate will be forgotten, and we'll be right back on the economy, and the upcoming debate between Obama and McSame on Tuesday.

I agree and disagree. I don't think Biden's responses or answers were rehearsed. and I DO think McCain will get a bounce out of this. It may not last but, he'll get a bump out of it. I agree that style means nothing when comes to knowledge or either of the executive positions that are up for grabs. She didn't debate at all. All she did was break up her stump speech into sections. At times, she totally ignored the question and talked about what ever she wanted to.

She should've been penalized (metaphorically speaking)for telling the moderator I'm not gonna answer the questions the way you want me to. Hell, she didn't answer the questions at all. She said I'm going to talk to the American people. She can talk to the American people every day. This was supposed to be a debate.

 

[Laughing Man]

There's a severe lack of intelligence in the American populace if style points count for anything... Joe Biden pretty much walked away with that victory, but since the media needs the ratings...they say that Palin held her own...bull-fucking-shit. This seesaw act that the media is playing needs to come to a halt. "We can't let 1 candidate get too popular with the people so we will talk up the underdog".

Agreed

They wanna milk this shit till Nov 4

If one opponent has the obvious advantage, the rating would drop.....

Now they want to inject drama, trying to make this a bullshit soap opera

Co-sign. It's only the fact that the country's so weak-minded in places that lets someone get away with saying something like they won't answer questions... in a debate... and somehow have the person try to turn it into some kind of positive.

I just hope the spin isn't actually going to influence too many people.

Agree

 

[voodoo]

style points? that shit only works with people who dont give a damn about the issues and just pick a candidate they like. in my history of watching debates back to 1980 it was the worst debate performance I've ever seen. she had no passion for the words coming out of her mouth. she never answered questions with any reasonable intelligence or coherence. she rambled constantly. i had to keep asking my wife what the damn question was again. she actually made herself look so stupid in interviews that people are giving her props just for showing up. If I'm grading based on substance and readiness:

Biden - B+
Palin - D

 

[twillz1]

Palin was saved by the media's constant reminder that she was gonna screw this up royally. All she did was break even, but with super-low expectations, the Evil Ticket walks away from this looking better to an already politically confused populace.

I'm frightened by this.

The problem is that the republicans let Palin be Palin and the whole time I was wondering ‘Where the fuck is the real Joe Biden?” He should have murdered this bitch with the facts….instead he let her sit up there and call Obama a “very dangerous” presidential candidate for sitting down with our enemies. And he sat there smiling when she would call him out about disagreeing with Obama at 1st regarding policies and the war.

She did win on style points. Period.

you been watching to much Foxnews. come back brutha.

 

[Machete]

I have to admit, that she did a lot better than you would expect based on the katie courick interviews and other appearances.

that being said she was very weak overall. she held on to her talking points and although you could see they prepared her pretty well, it was only superficially. whatever she couldn't answer specifically, she fell back on the mavrick pitch.

Biden definitely took this, and didnt do it in a condisending way. I think the nail in the coffin was him choking up about the death of his wife and him being a single parent, which Palin thought she had the upper hand on in terms of family struggles.

another hit for Biden was when he complimented Palin on getting the winfall tax against the oil companies for alaskans, but then pointed out that McCain would never support a policy like that nationally.

You forget the "ultimate bridge to nowhere" comment. Pure ether. And a lot of people will miss out on that.

I was wondering when somebody would admit this, Joe took it easy on this broad plain and simple, and even worse let her get away with changing topics constantly! Shit was crazy, they would be talking about one topic and then when it came time for her to speak, she would only talk about whatever topics she wanted to completely ignoring the original topic, And then she dissed the Moderator, did anybody peep that shit?

Biden Failing does have more to do with the perception of things though, all his points were fact based so nobody can argue with that, but he let this bitch control the tone of the debate and allowed her to lie and even worse dodge questions completely. You can already see most of the media declaring this shit a win for Palin.

He had to unfortunately. Palin is in there to pull the women's vote. She adds NOTHING to McSame's campaign. If he attacked her, then he would have been called "mean". I was watching his expressions, there were a number of times where i could see that he held back.

But the moderator was horrendous, she get letting Palin slide by NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

 

[geist]

Unless she came out in a bikini she didn't even win style points.

All she won was bullshit points...and if you call that a win....well god help you. If that was me I would've ethered her with a "Are you even answering the questions?"

Stop feeding into the spin. A debate is about rhetoric, not style.

 

[tmp1971]

Palin is dumb as a fuckin' brick.

 

[safado]

stylish points?
even an editorial in todays ny daily news states Gov. Palin won on stylish points....

now im completely confused...
is this a FASHION SHOW...

what da f... is stylish points?
no wonder when im overseas im anything except an American...
its official to me now...
AMERICANS DONT TRULY CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT MATTER ...rather focus on idealogy.(gays-who cares,drilling all oil to depletion rather than forethought, economy, illegal immigration, and the kicker the transfer of jobs overseas.

 

[voodoo]

Pat Robertson I think it was, said she "looked" better. WTF?!?! they're trying to make a hero out of this bitch. she had no clue about any world affairs other than Iraq and she dont know shit about that. all she gave a shit about was "up here in Alaska" which according to her (and her crazy as pastor) is the center of the world. da fuck outta here.

 

[keysersoze]

Style points? Bitches thought Ted Bundy was Handsome and ended up getting gutted like pigs also. What the fuck did "Style Points" get the bitches who dated Ted Bundy? The fuck outta here with Style Points.

TED BUNDY!!!

Things you can guarantee will never be said during a 2020 debate:

Biden delivering the ether.

Can anybody look at a clip from this and honestly say they could expect Biden to perform half as well today?

Does anybody think he could even beat Sarah Palin in a debate today?
