anyone else watch this last night? it was painful.
one guy that had a "question" was a vietnam vet who literally said something to the effect of "welcome home senator" to an obvious round of applause. the guy had no question and just nervously fumbled through whatever he had to say.
someone else asked "i'm all for drillling, but where exactly are we going to drill?" palin answered "offshore." gee, thanks for the specifics
my favorite part was this though (from cnn.com):
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took questions with her running mate Wednesday night, offering at one point to play "stump the candidate" with a mostly friendly Michigan crowd.
Gov. Sarah Palin greets supporters at a town-hall meeting in Michigan Wednesday night.
Asked for "specific skills" she could cite to rebut critics who question her grasp of international affairs, she replied, "I am prepared."
"I have that confidence. I have that readiness," Palin said. "And if you want specifics with specific policies or countries, you can go ahead and ask me. You can play 'stump the candidate' if you want to. But we are ready to serve."
well sarah, the person did ask you...but way to not answer the question again. at this point mccain jumped in and talked about energy and the oil pipeline to the lower 48 that might be built sometime in the next 10 years or so.

Farley: "Do you remember that time when you said that you said thanks but no thanks on the bridge to nowhere"?
Palin: "Yes"
Farley: "That was awesome!"

after she struggles through answering ... with no answer ... McCain then stepped in and stated she's an expert on energy which is important for national security and she was the commander in chief of the Alaskan National Guard ...
yes, the Alaskan National Guard ... where she has made exactly ... ZERO ... decisions on their use.
Her debate has potantial train wreck written all over it. It may be as bad as this guy was ...

The sad thing about that debate, is that Admiral Stockdale was 10 times more qualified than Gore or Quayle.

Haha. She won't be that bad. In fact, she'll probably do well enough to keep this charade going.
it's amazing what perception really does ...
I think it was the 1960 Kennedy / Nixon debate ... where, polling after the debate showed that those who listened to it on the radio felt Nixon did a better job, yet, those that watched it on TV thought Kennedy did a better job.
