Maybe they can bring together the Talibanis with the Bosniacs.

So far, Biden is really impressing. Palin has had some decent moments, but overall, she's over her head and is showing it.

switch the conversation to Darfur--a human rights catastrophe that we enlightened Americans can all point to, no matter what party.

Are people watching the debate remembering Biden's answer and Obama's original answer?

It's hard to drop a rehearsed line even when it's been explained as untrue. (see: Bridge to Nowhere)

I hate how she grins when Biden is speaking as if she's silently saying that everything he says is a lie.

Terrible rebuttal by Palin on refuting Biden re: Iraq. . . last foreign policy question.

I've been watching the green and yellow graphs on CNN for men's and women's reactions to each speaker, and Biden's look better, which is great. But it served Obama better than I thought to stay calm and unruffled, and Biden is definitely showing some irritation. He looks much smarter (not hard), and doesn't say nukular, and he's my favorite person on earth right this second--I just hope his demeanor helps him.

What I find amazing is that, not only is Palin coming across as rehearsed and shallow, but also condescending. She spouts some tired talking point and then smirks as if she just landed a "you're no Jack Kennedy" zinger.

I thought Ms. Ifill was asking what Senator Biden would do if he was the one who was elected President not what he'd do if President Obama, eh, died.

Why the heck is Gov. Palin winking at us?

Woohoo! Way to go Joe, referencing her ignorance of what the Bush doctrine is!

Where did they hide the Queen of Hearts?

Biden should point out that it's not surprising that the Republicans would want the voters to forget the last eight years.

Why is she constantly grinning to the camera? Its not a beauty contest. So much for her pitbull persona.

winking....it looks so, so tacky.......

"Say it ain't so, Joe..." Harrdy Harr Harr! Snore...

Err ... someone must have said to her: "You gotta find a good, biting, tagline that ticks! Something with the resonance of 'There you go, again!' or 'Say it ain't so, Joe!'"

And she used them instead of coming up with her own.

It's as eloquent as saying "Your name here" or "drop page."

Palin clearly had no clue about what Cheney said re: the Constitution!

Yes.

She asked Biden if she could call him Joe so that she could say "Say it ain't so, Joe".

"Say it ain't so, Senator Biden" doesn't have the same folksy ring to it.

Oh yeah, she always says "nukular", just like her idol W. I wonder if she really says it like that or if she's been coached and trained to say it that way in order to seem more folksy??

I sat behind the dias at the RNC and watched the teleprompter as Sarah Palin took the stage for the first time. Every time the word 'nuclear' came up in her speech, the teleprompter kindly spelled it out for her: NEW-CLEAR

She still got it wrong.
