lagilmanSo, despite my best efforts, I ended up watching the debate, keeping company with the folk on the sff.net chat [who were kind to my poor missing-an-s keyboard]. My summation?
Palin did her I'm Cute! I Smile! I Regurgitate Talking points! routine and managed not to have a train wreck.
Biden? Hammered McCain, not Cutsie Palin, and did so in a way that actually answered the questions with facts and details [or a much as the time allowed]
The polls may say that Palin won because she didn't self-destruct. Me? Before I didn't dislike Biden. Now? I respect him. I may not always, gods know, agree with him...but I respect him. So I'd say Biden 'won' this round, at least at Ch Felidae (Boomer slept through the debate. Pandora thinks Palin's a Stepford Veep). because, damn. "Cheney is the most dangerous VP in American history." And not just when he's out shooting, either.
And, btw, a memo to the GOP? Do NOT try to play the parent card on Joe Biden. He can see your soccer mom of disabled baby and raise you the widowed husband and loving, attentive father of injured children who grew up unscrewed-up.
and yes, I tried to do the drinking game. But man, after the second "soccer mom" and the third "middle class," I just had to pull over and switch to water....
