Vice Presidential Debate Tonight - Biden vs. Palin.... DING, DING, DING

[Fubeca]

Knowing things is so passe. I think John Stewart nailed it when he said we live in a post-fact environment.

I think Sean Hannity said that!

Something that troubles me with Obama is his record of voting 'Present' on many issues as a Senator, especially on controversial ones. How can we expect him to make crucial and difficult decisions when the time comes if he's too afraid to do it as a Senator? There's no voting present when you're in the oval office.

Back on topic, the debate should be interesting tonight, but here's my prediction, which will be 100% accurate:

-Obama supporters will say Biden won
-McCain supporters will say Palin won

There's no such thing as "winning" a debate, each side will like their candidate, and those of us in the center will be continually unimpressed by both contenders.

Voting "present" just means you do not agree with all of the legislation. I'd take that any day over missig the vote altogether.

I agree with you about the debate. The only thing that will change that is one side making a HUGE mistake tonight.

This is actually my favorite Biden gaffe. His reaction to it was priceless, it makes me like him more This is what you call an honest mistake though. Still funny

Voting present is about as useful as saying, "Just call me if I can help with the financial crisis."

Same here... at least he handled it well.

I'll take no decision over a horribly bad decision any day.

There is nothing wrong with letting ones faith help guide them.

None what so ever. But dont take away things using your religion. For example....Gay marrage, Evolution, ect....

Not everyone agrees with God, and people must respect that. Unlike Bill O'Riley. I hate that man.

For the record, I belive in a god of sorts....but mabye not in the same way you do.

Serious question: Is it true that the Moderator of tonight's V.P. Debate has written a book about Obama that is scheduled to come out on the day of the Presidential Inaguration? If so... whoa. How is it even possible they'd let that happen?

Honest mistake??!?

NO. It is a book that mentions Obama, but he is not the center of the book. It is about race and politics in 2008. Obviously Obama has to be in it though.

Do you think he knew he was in a wheelchair? This is the DEFINITION of an honest mistake. Palin already said "betcha" in the debate...

 

[IrishJedi]

NO. It is a book that mentions Obama, but he is not the center of the book.

The title alone would state otherwise: The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.

That's incredible. How is the woman (who obviously would have, at worst, a financial stake in Obama winning with this book coming out on Inaguration Day) allowed to moderate one of these campaign debates?

 

[Sick Boy 82]

She said "Joes Six-Pack." What a retard!!!!

Do you think he knew he was in a wheelchair?

Yes, I absolutely think he knew he was in a wheelchair. You think he didn't?

Like I said, it is about race and politics in 2008. Like it or not, this year is the age of Obama. Not saying the book won't do better with President Obama, but he is NOT the focus of the book. The political time period is, hence the age of Obama.

On topic, Palin is back to speaking in run-ons.

 

[LChinoz]

Anyone want to help me understand this? Of course he didn't know.

Just FYI, this really does nothing to make anyone want to take your comments seriously. It is what one might expect as a schoolyard taunt, not a comment about an election year debate.
