Some CONS, including McSame, say that Sarah Palin did a knock out job at the VP debate. I saw the whole debate and saw no knock out punch by her. She could not answer many direct questions and took refuge in saying that she was a hockey mom, and asked to let her get together with Regular Joe 6paks and produce alot of energy in Alaska. A high school student with some debating ability would have done better. The only thing she did not do is burst out in tears and leave the stage. Maybe that is the standard CONS are using to assess her.
Biden did exceptionally well. He answered the questions superbly and his experience and talent shone through.
There's a video coming out that shows the debate on split screen. What it reveals is that, while Biden was speaking, Palin was furiously racing through cue cards she'd brought in so that she could remember the talking points she was supposed to make. Then, when she faced questions that weren't covered by the cue cards, she ignored the questions and went right back into her cards. She was a talking head with big hair, an empty vessel. There was no debate, just a republican who showed she's learned to read from cards.
ReplyDeleteMoS, thank you for your comment. It'll be interesting to see that video, I hope you will post it on your blog when it becomes available.
ReplyDeleteEven watching the full debate itself, it was pretty obvious that she was constantly looking at cue cards.
