Your Thoughts On The Biden/Palin Debate.

i really don't have anythought except i wanna move outta this country to canada

What did you think of the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin? They both annoyed me at moments

Was it what you expected? Yes Pretty much

Who do you think won? Neither

Did the debate change your mind about what ticket you are voting for? Not at all

What are your thoughts? I can't wait until the election is over. I enjoy politics but I am so tired of it.

That's my plan to Amber.

I didn't even see the debate, how did it go?

Thank God it's over. I survived it. Thank God there is only one VP debate. What did they tell us that we did not know?

Palin dodged about every question, tried to be folksy and connect with people. It's a lot better than being incoherent. She improved a lot. But from where she started, not too hard to improve.

I was disappointed that Gwen Ifill allowed Sarah Palin to change the subject so much in the beginning. I thought that Joe Biden should have brought it up as matter of fact. All in all, she stayed on message as did Biden. I'm not sure there was a clear winner here. It was interesting to say the least. It did not change my mind about who to vote for.

I'm with Chris E on this one... I love politics, but this election has just been soooo exhausting. I'm not really happy with either choice... just hoping for the best when it finally ends!

I am an independent who had not decided who to vote for until tonight. I have decided now. I am going to vote for Obama. Sarah Palin is not ready to be VP and heaven help us if she won and something happened to John McCain. I can't risk that.

Well, I'm sorry all of you were disappointed. I found it to be perhaps the best debate I've watched in my 50 years. Palin certainly did what she needed to do, and Biden was at his best, which was a little "Senaty", but in fairness that's his style.

Cathy, how do you feel about Obama's readiness? You're focusing on the wrong variable!!

I'm more impressed with Palin because like Thompson I think she could walk away from politics and be just as happy where as McCain, Obama and Biden probably couldn't function without politics. I want politics to be and inconvenience not a career.

I think who ever wins in November we're all going to have to bend over and hope for the best.

Biden is a Senator of course, so he's practiced in that sort of debating - mostly air, I think. Palin is getting an education, isn't she? I thought she did well, all things considered. The worst part about it is knowing that the media find all the fault with her they can in the morning.

Hi all! I watched cartoons and "Cops" tonight.....knew that the debate would be on, so I did everything in my power to avoid it.......watched Nancy Grace, where there is more eivdence that the mother killed little Caylee......she will be going to trial next month...most likely for murder and fraud! Lots of new evidence coming in now.....getting sooo intriguing....much more so than politics!

The VP position has never been more important. We're dealing with 2 very real possibilites that the VP may become president. Most of you are too young, but I remember too well the aftermath of Kennedy's assassination. No one ever thought such a thing could happen. But it did. There are many groups out there not wanting Obama in the President's chair. Think about it.

I thought Palin's coaches and handlers are to be commended! She certainly pulled off her "folksy" persona. I did think she sounded a bit too canned however she will have great appeal to many people.

On the other hand I expected Joe Biden would sound good and he did.

Biden won because she has not convinced me she is ready to be VP, she would make a great televangelist though.

I have already decided who I will vote for, so this did not persuade me to change that.

Canada is sounding good...or new candidates...can we start over?

Palin came across better than in those interviews, but she did not answer most of the questions, diverting to folksy stories, and the McCain/Palin campagne rhetoric, which seemed scripted and memorized.

I came away from the debate the impression of having heard her repeat, for 90 minutes, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party", "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party", "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party" "So help me God".

Stock andswers and talking points came from Palin.

Biden, I thought did very well at answering the questions asked, as well as rebutting anything that Palin claimed concerning the Obama/Biden ticket. I also thought he handled her with kid gloves, and allowed her to talk on and on, knowing that all of what she was saying will be on tape, for future use.

Biden won the debate.

Biden came across as a gentleman and an experienced Senator. Obama should have chosen Hillary or a young up-and coming Democrat like Gov. Kaine of Virginia, not someone from the old crowd. He lost credibility . Biden is a nice guy but a poor choice . He is hurting Obma, and it's not his fault. It wouldn't have mattered whom he was debating.

The political debate was interesting, more so than the dreadful ones this year. It was civil and not , shall I as say, as playing down to the audience. Give credit to the moderator and both politicians.

Palin was allowed to speak for herself by the McCain people and she connected with the audience in the hall and I think with those watching/listening on TV-radio . She is a skillful politician and got across that she is fighter and in touch with Main Street. She won the day.

It wouldn't change my vote. I would choose Obama over McCain.

It did not change my Obama/Biden vote.

I was very impressed with Sen. Biden tonight. My vote has always been for the Democratic side, regardless of the players. They don't act in a vacuum, and I have no use for the republican policies and rhetoric. I have to admit I voted Republican just once and that was for Eisenhower. It was right after the war and he was a big war hero. Never made that mistake again.

Palin connected with "the people"-the ones who don't want the facts but like her personality.

Biden was eloquent in sharing about being a single parent-which was the most surprising thing in the evening. He definitely knows the isues and intelligent. She's folksy and likeable-to people who don't care.

Biden won. Palin did not answer quite a few questions and I could not connect with her, even though I too am a hockey mom

It appears to me that John McCain has intentionally duped the American Public with having sequestered Sarah Palin from the media, allowed a few gaffs and granted 3 interviews with which to keep people interested so that they could release Sarah Palin in this national debate. It was like watching a Bait & Switch, Gomer Pyle in a skirt for a polished performer.
After the debate I heard one of the broadcasters describe it as "boring but right verses exciting and wrong" and I believe they are right in their assessment.

~@~

What did you think of the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin?
Both candidates performed quite well, I expected Biden to do well and am surprised (as indicated above) how Palin performed.
Was it what you expected?
No, per my opinion expressed above
Who do you think won?
"boring but right verses exciting and wrong"
Did the debate change your mind about what ticket you are voting for?
No but, it reinforced my dedication and support
What are your thoughts?
I believe the one issue of importance that came out is Palin's suggestion of expanding the authority of the vice-president's office, following Cheney's example
Like the first McCain/Obama debate, I will stay out of this one.
I hope your impartiality doesn't carry all the way to the voting booth. You do plan on voting in this election, right ?

I think they both did better than expected. Everyone puts Palin down for her answers but just avoid the fact that Biden had quite a few fibs.

Sarah, won hands down, and millions of voters tonight, have just changed their vote from Obama to McCain/Palin. She connects with the average American voter, and speaks directly to them. No bull, no politics, just a real person.

Sarah Palin came out the winner. Why? Well, she knew where her boundaries were and avoided falling into the trap, that's smart. Also, she connected with mainstreet America, our household included. She stood her ground on what her strong points are, spoke to the American people directly into the camera. She was very comfortable.

I can't say the same for old Joe Biden. He seemed stiff, stilted, and spoke much like he was giving the speech of his life on the Hill. Also, he probably had Botox injections into his forehead to make himself look younger to connect to the younger voter. Shallow isn't it? Yeah. If you doubt this, check out a websearch with Joe Biden photos. You can find them if you are so inclined. If not, you can link the two sites I did from my article. The second photo I have provided comes from tonight's debate, you can see a real difference in his looks and folks, it ain't too good! : )

greg smith, I found it to be perhaps the best debate I've watched in my 50 years. Palin certainly did what she needed to do, and Biden was at his best, which was a little "Senaty", but in fairness that's his style.

I agree greg, my thought throughout the debate was :
Joe should have explained to her, I have lived these issues and worked alongside mccain how can you tell me how I feel about john, when you just met john mccain six months ago ? Then remind her he worked and voted on the bills she's talking about.

Ray L., what gives you that impression when all the exit polls are saying 53% for biden and 21% for palin, the rest undecided.

Elsie C., There are many groups out there not wanting Obama in the President's chair. Think about it.

Are you suggesting the American people should cower and give in to fear and intimidation because of a few "groups out there" ? We should restrict our growth as a society because of evil men with evil intentions? Isn't that what Usama bin Laden tried ?

Nora Davenport, I sure hope there is a cartoons, "Cops" and Nancy Grace marathon this November 4th.
America needs well informed citizen doing the actual voting.

Barbara B., Well, she knew where her boundaries were

How many times was the moderators question directly answered ???
She dismissed the moderators questions and spouted only the points she wanted to speak about. Will she treat the laws and Constitution in the same way as she treated the boundaries and rules of this debate ? Agree to them then discard them once the bell sounds ?

The only changing being done by "millions of voters tonight" was the channel.

Failin' did as expected (not bad after a month of intensive coaching) even though she did NOT answer any of the questions that were put to her .
Sarah kept repeating irrelevant facts and snipets without directly answering EXACTLY what McSame would do different than Shrub.

Biden failed by being too much the gentleman and by NOT pointing out that in Johnnies OWN words, he VOTED WITH SHRUB OVER 90% of the time!
Althought Biden DID point out Failin's inability to point to any actual policy differences between the 2 old rich white elephants, Sarah deftly evaded all substantial questions by both the moderator (the person who's questions ARE supposed to be answered) and her opponent.

As for Sarah's goal to further expand on the powers Usurped by the current VP,
I hope someone can provide her with a copy of the Constitution so she can read what the VP's duties actually are as well as the prohibition on creating her own job description.

No offense intended Nora, but you do sound exactly like the typical Sarah Failin' fan.
God help the Republic

Palin lost the debate because of this. In the few days before the debate, even the right-wing conservatives were calling her a mistake and a bad choice. In the days before the debate, her task changed from winning over democrats and undecided voters, to winning over those conservatives who were beginning to see her as a disaster.

So she won over the conservatives because she didn't look quizically at the moderator while crickets chirped. But since her task had been moved from persuading democrats and independents, to convincing her own party that she isn't a simpleton, she lost. And worse yet for the GOP, they walk away thinking they won because they quelled the GOP revolt.

This was like a football team losing 56-0 and deciding in the 4th quarter that they were not going to be shut out. So they kicked a field goal with 4 seconds left, lost 56-3 and called it a win. All she did was to convince the members of her party not to throw her off of the bus.

Can anyone tell me where, at the end of the debate, when both families came up on stage,
where Sarah Pailin's Pregnant Daughter and her (self proclaimed) "a** kickin', tough as h*ll redneck" Boyfriend were?
Didn't happen to notice THEM up on the stage anywhere.
Wonder why?
Maybe he was busy impregnating teenage girls while beating the crap out of a gay minority member with his Confederate Flag belt buckle?

There are quite a few commenters I agree with here ... I agree that Gwen seemed much to lenient and "saved" Palin ... or fed her a one liner on more than one occasion. I also think that Biden was too much a gentleman. My first thought was "would he debate a man the same way?" But guess what, she isn't a man and the general public would have probably scolded him more than admiring him for doing so. Isn't that sad?

Second, anyone can cram for an exam but leading the country (or being 2nd in command) is not one of those things you can learn how to do in a month. I really expected a little more of the usually "foot in her mouth" Sarah we know and love to loath ... but her staff did a good job of providing her with appropriate sound bites and retorts. She does know how to milk that soccer mom thing for all it's worth, doesn't she?

Last, this debate only confirmed for me how scared I am that anyone but Obama/Biden might win! I'm not normally paying as close attention to the election as I am this year ... but desparate times call for desparate measures ... and McCain is just more of the same.

Frankly, I thought they both did well during the debate. However, after the debate, I started listening to all of the commentators. Many said that Biden misspoke and provided false information numerous times. This concerns me and I feel as if I need to do more research.

Oh ... and one other comment I must make. Thank god someone finally called McCain out on the whole "maverick" thing!! I think Joe Biden did a great job of citing specific examples of how John is not a maverick. I must say that he had WAY more examples of how John's record does not stand up than Sarah Palin could give Katie Couric. Biden 10, Palin 0!!!

Biden was flawless...

She crammed for a month and made a "C". She passed by God. She didn't look like a total idiot. She answered all the questions with three or four standard stump speech answers no matter what the questions were. Only one time did she stand there with her mouth open trying to remember what she was supposed to say. They have taught her not to answer questions. In her interviews she thought she was actually supposed to answer the questions and of course she didn't know most of the answers so she just babbled. She has learned to replace the babbling with political double talk that sounds like an answer but really isn't. She is a success.

Biden will make a much better vice-president because he has actually done a lot of things in his career. He won the debut with both hands tied behind his back because he was determined to be a gentleman. And he was.

What did you think of the debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin? - entertaining.
Was it what you expected? - pretty much
Who do you think won? - Biden
Did the debate change your mind about what ticket you are voting for? - Nope
What are your thoughts? - see above

I LOVED her comment about being 'screened? by the MSM'.
What the h*ll is she talking about.
After being kept miles away from the press for a month, she totally blows the only 2 (real) interviews she has.
Catie and Charlie are not exactly attack dogs, but she still failed miserably with them!

As for the 'other' "interview" on FIXED NOISE well, planned cheer- leading doesn't really count as an interview now does it?

So George, you ask, who I thought won? Let me put it this way . . .I'm working on it -- working on some contacts to get to at least one of those Inaugural Balls in January.

I'll be clearer: I do expect to get a picture taken with President Obama.

I hope, I hope, I hope!

Joe Biden delivered, arguably the most brilliant debate of his entire career.

I agree with Ron. He was absolutely flawless. When he broke down, speaking of the devastating loss of his wife and baby girls, so did I; when he spoke of being a single parent, he humanized himself; those were moments in the debate I'll never forget --very poignant.

Can't touch that.

Biden won.

The best part of the debut was not having to listen to any "I remember when I was a prisoner" stories.

To show my politics ----- I voted for Bill Clinton twice, Al Gore (reluctantly), and John Kerry. My first vote for president was for George McGovern. I wanted Hillary to get the nomination. I felt Bill was so good and that she was just as sharp as him. Right now, I see four candidates that would all be more competent than the current president. I think we would have been better off if Al Gore had won his own state in 2000 (making Florida irrelevant) or had John McCain (slimy Bush dirty tricks prevented that) won the nomination in 2000 and became president. Neither would have set us back the way the Bush administration has done.

Palin is my governor. I have been in Alaska during 6 other governors. Of the three democrats, 2 republicans, and 1 Alaska Indenpendence party governors before her, ZERO have had the guts to take on big oil. Zero have had the guts to criticize Exxon directly. Palin had been criticized by conservatives because of the dramatic tax increase on the oil companies. The oil companies (Exxon especially) have lobbied against the increases with their slogan "Jobs not Taxes," but she hasn't backed down. She has a 60 % approval rating among democrats in the state (80 % overall) for a reason. How many US senators or congressman have pushed for taxes on the massive profits due to the extreme high price of oil?

She has taken on her own party. They said she committed political suicide by taking on her own party about 4 years ago, but she did anyway. In fact, the most vocal "Palin haters" you read about include conservative Republicans. Lyda Green and Andrew Halcro to name two. The reason she has gotten legislation through is because she has had most of the democratic minority voting with her along with a block of the republicans in the state house and senate.

Unlike most politicians, when she speaks about working families, she has been part of one. Her husband is a union worker on the north slope and she went to and her kids go to public schools. There are a number of teachers in her extended family. She eliminated the "Governor's Chef" position. She said she didn't want to take someone's job away, but she didn't see why someone had to cook for the governor's family everyday. Remember the first George Bush "wow, that's neat," when he went to a store and saw the cashier scan groceries during the campaign for re-election. No wonder Clinton beat him. How out of touch, basically acknowledging he hadn't been shopping for food even once for many years. Talk about out of touch. She might have gotten caught off guard during this campaign by reporters, but she is more in touch with the rest of us (real people) than most other politicians can even pretend to be. Not saying to vote for her and McCain. There are some here now saying we win either way. If Obama wins, we get our governor back.

For me, the debate ended with an unanswered question. It arose out of the debate and since it raised serious concern, I have already posted an article about it. See :The Unanswered Question at:

http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977466489&nav=MyGather

Aside from that, Palin's avoiding questions, with, "Let me go back too ___________" annoyed me as did her folksiness when it became obviously a ploy.

Otherwise, while Palin did better than I expected, Biden was clearly the winner and the only one of the two candidates who appeared ready to be president should the need arise.

I think Biden did a good job(wink)and stuck to the topics.While Palin(wink)went off with her own canned answers(wink).With the bar that she had set so low(wink)herself all she really had to do was show up.(wink)

I was reading some comments that folks actually thought Sarah Palin won??? Hello??? And that Obama supporters would now go to McCain???? I'm sorry I am mainstreet and she didnt sway me one bit. I am still an Obama supporter. I do think Biden was a perfect gentleman and at least he knew the issues. Palin couldn't answer if it wasn't on her script and refused to answer. She was too folksy if you ask me. I mean was it Sarah Palin on that stage or Jessica Simpson? Is that chicken or tuna? I don't know but she sure didn't change my mind with her performance.

If you are considering the debate, and the fact that the questions that were posed by the moderator were meant to be answered to give us insight into the mindset of the two debaters and their running mates plans for the lives of us and generations to come, the fact that Sarah Palin chose to to ignore the questions was offensive to me. I really don't need a buddy in the white house. I want you to be able to deal with the many varied issues that affect the American public and the world at large. I fail to see how "folksy" is going to help us when dealing with other countries, especially the ones that have less than a favorable view of us even right now. Joe Biden won in my opinion, at least he answered the dang questions.

I'm with you, Tookie. I was offended by her refusal to answer several questions. Why was I suppose to watch the debate if she refused to address many of the questions. I was thinkng as I watched if Obama had done the same he would be booed off the stage. However, it seems expectations for her were much lower than any other candidate which gave her an advantage. This whole Palin thing is a fraud as far as I am concerned. This woman has been recruited to take the number two spot in the nation yet many are excusing so much of her abilities and actions. I actually feel ashamed and nearly puked this morning when Fox News and some republican elected officials were saying how great she was last night. This whole thing is a republican fraud just like so many of their other activities.

Biden did a fine job of restraining himself in this debate. If he had corrected a few mistakes Palin made, he would have come off as condescending. For her part, she failed to answer several questions, and gave lame reasoning for not doing so, but at least she didn't sound like a fool. All in all, it was the best we could expect from both.

"There are some here now saying we win either way. If Obama wins, we get our governor back.
Steven S., Oct 3, 2008, 2:32am EDT"

Steven the lower 48 will be more than happy to send your governor back to you. Enjoy.

I guess it's just me because i dont like Palin, but I thought she was pretty ridiculous. She was talking in circles the whole time, and evaded several questions. I think I heard her say the taliban were our allies. I would shudder to think she would be the VP.

Steven S, Palin had been criticized by conservatives because of the dramatic tax increase on the oil companies. The oil companies (Exxon especially) have lobbied against the increases with their slogan "Jobs not Taxes," but she hasn't backed down.
She has a 60 % approval rating among democrats in the state (80 % overall) for a reason.

You know there was a moment where I said Huh?????????????
Sarah Palin was talking about TAXES, she even dismissed the moderator saying she may not answer how Gwen or Joe wanted. She tried to slam Obama/Biden by calling their tax plan of giving 95% of Americans a tax break, redistribution of wealth.
Exactly what would you call the Alaskan citizens receiving funds from Oil Wealth ?
Wouldn't that be redistribution of wealth ?

Being Canadians, we had to watch both debates. MY husband watched the Canadian debate all the way through, while I watched Biden and Palen. Not that I have a say in the matter, but I feel Biden and Obama will make a better balanced team than Palen and McCain.
Both were very good at dodging the questions. Can't say as I was charmed by Palen's folksy manner. She even skirted the subject of "what is the Vice-president's job?" Biden definitely beat her on that one.
My feeling at the end of the speech was, I'd probably been better off watching Ghost Wisperet.
To my mind Palen is an entertainer, not a possible president. Not now. Not ever. Anyone who can't say the word nuclear any better than Geroge Bush still has much to learn.
I didn't care for the idea of bringing the families onto the stage.
As for the Canadiand debate, it consisted of the other four party reps attacking, blaming and bad-mouthing Prime Minister Harper. He kept his cool, and many of the pundits interpreted that as his being cold hearted. Nonsense. I'm just hoping for someone who can govern well.
And then, after they all got through spitting at Harper, they turned one by one and did kissyface with the rep of the Green Party. Nauseating. (Urp.)

After the election no matter who wins our country will continue to be run by Corporations and special interest.

Let me clarify this by saying, I never liked Biden; however, I saw a human side to him last night and he was very good. I do prefer Palin, but thought she should have quit with the first wink.
Secondly, I thought the debate was anti-climatic, and only did Palin good as she held her own. Biden is a gentleman and was not forced to be nice. The whole question of her being a woman should not enter this arena. She is a person who is running for vice-president, and should be judged and voted for or against based on that alone. I am voting for her, but feel a whole lot better about Biden.
The End!
Carol ~

I'd rather have the new kid on the block be vice-president not the president. O'Bama is far too new and inexperienced.

I thought Biden did a great job... especially considering he had to 'thread the needle'.

Wendy Wright's comments are 'dead-on' right ! ; )

Pallin did a lot better than I thought, but her delivery seemed monotone and felt staged. She winked at the camera a couple of times, I guess perhaps trying to connect with us personally. That didn’t work for me and just looked like a stunt.

It was obvious Biden had the more experience and it was harder to tell whether his delivery was also an act. That’s probably the difference between a good and a not so good actor.

They pretty much towed the line on policy, so that wasn’t my main reason for watching. I wanted to see who gave me more confidence in their ability to be president should the need arise. On that front Biden won by a mile. Pallin seemed like a very competent aid, but not leadership material, at least not yet.

Governer Sarah Palin is the best thing which can happen in the favour of democrats since on the election day people have to choose between Mr. Obama Barak and Mr. John McCain and the later has been overshadowed by the governer Sarah Palin.........

Palin did better than I expected, but Biden did well also.

I enjoyed watching the debate. I'm not impressed by Ms. Palin's folksy demeaner - I'm not a socker mom - can't relate in the least, didn't like the wink or the "gosh dern type lingo" - also, I think she made a few mistakes which Joe Biden was gracious enough not to call her on - he did however correct her when she was blatently stating untruths but he did it in a way as not to embarrass her. I wish her the best but believe me - I'm not voting for her or McCain. Salud

Richard,

Actually a portion of the oil that comes out of the ground goes to Alaska. Half goes into a fund that has been invested. The profits only then are distributed as a dividend. Dividends have been distributed for 27 years, so nothing new.

The tax increase has been written to increase when the price increases and not punish the oil companies at lower prices where they have less profit. Palin pushed for a one time $1200 payment to every Alaskan this year to offset fuel (gasoline, heating, etc) with the increased revenue the state received. Virtually every democratic legislator voted for that.

The tax restructuring also had the vote of virtually every democratic legislator.

I thought both did well.. the debate was much more lively compared to the one with Barraka
and John.

Palin was very friendly and only stumbled a few times.. i kept wondering though was that the real Sarah? Or was it spin from the spin doctors?

Joe was Joe .. i did enjoy the debate .. still am confused about who to vote for .. or not vote.. i got so upset when i voted for Al Gore and he was stripped his votes to be pushed out by the electoral college , when rightfully in my opinion he should have been president as ' we the people voted for him',, so anyway.. got sick of politics as usual and did not vote last election ... seems it would not have mattered in a way.. what rights do we have as voters when the electoral college can step in?
I'm not the brightest person ever, it seems tho we are losing tiny little pieces of our freedom each day.. as for the debate it was entertaining and amusing .. hope Sarah had someone back home looking out over the straight at Russia, keeping an eye on them.. honestly, they most likely do need a close eye check.

Peace

I have read too that some of the natives of Alaska who were there long before they joined the US have no voting rights.. anyone else here about this?
I will have to look for the article again.

Alaskan Natives are US citizens. Patty is referring to a lawsuit requiring ballots to be available in Yup'ik Eskimo Language for Yup'ik elders in the Bethel area. There are some Alaskan Native elders that struggle with written English. A court (earlier this summer) ordered that assistance be available including some ballots and bilingual poll workers.

I like biden... felt sorry for him when he almost cried too

Poor Linda can't handle the truth.
A: The remarks about Palin's daughter's boyfriend come from HIS own myspace page.
B: The names I have seen being spewed by people supporting McSame are not only nasty, but they also use racism and plenty of lies as well to try and make points with their core voters.
C: Sorry your so bitter, but your candidate IS going to lose anyway.
D: What EXACTLY Is so offensive to you about my quoting Bristol's boyfriends web page?
Is it because your kind does not appreciate the truth?
Or is it because you can dish it out, but you just can't take it?
E: Or is it because (in YOUR OWN WORDS) You are a PIG WITHOUT LIPSTICK?
F ALL OF THE ABOVE!

I thought so!

Linda, I hope you have a good life.
Being we are both Americans, and you being a McCain supporter, I am sure you can raise above the lie filled rhetoric of your candidates ad's and 'work across the aisle' with those of us who disagree with your point of view.

Ya, I knew better than to expect that from the likes of you.

didn't watch

Thats my plan to amber

i didnt even see the damn debate.who won

i don't know; i didn't see the debate im just writing a comment because i have to for a grade :]

blah blah blah ;;
;)

Doing some catching up!
