tonight's debate(41)
|
okay...what do you think about tonight's debate with the vp's candidates??
will palin surprise everyone and come out looking 'presidential'??
will she be reading from crammed papers from the podium provided by the 'debate camp'?? or will she have an earpiece?? do you believe from what we've seen so far in 2-4 interviews that she has done is who she is?? or will the 'true' palin come out?? what are your predicted thoughts?? |
|
I think she's going to get crushed tonight....and I can't wait to see it happen.
I'd like to think/hope that this will be the final nail in the coffin for folks who are straddling the fence or are leaning toward her and McCain...I'd love to THINK that...but I know better. It should be entertaining all the same though.... |
|
i don't believe she should get special treatment...she is gonna step into the ring, she should be able to take it... it will be entertaining...the best thing biden can do is not talk too much unless it's a response to an insult...other than that, forcing her to do all the talking or put herself on the spot will fluster her completely...if i were biden, i would not DOMINATE any convo--cuz the more she talks, the deeper the hole she digs for herself and mccain... |

what do you think about tonight's debate with the vp's candidates?? Palin - inept, incompetent, will come off as a church girl, who plays to the little guy. This will not work if a technical or intellectual question is asked such as: The Supreme Court case..........Miranda vs the U.S., or any foreign policy question . Any question that relates to any policy..... Biden will not be himself, and Ihope he doesnt. He should just answer the questions and point out McCain's decision making. will palin surprise everyone and come out looking 'presidential'?? Yes, she will surprise us b/c she will actually remember the lines she wrote on the chalkboard 100 times.
will she be reading from crammed papers from the podium provided by the 'debate camp'?? or will she have an earpiece?? Seriously, it wont matter. If gwen brings up any out of the ordinary questions. do you believe from what we've seen so far in 2-4 interviews that she has done is who she is?? or will the 'true' palin come out?? I think its worse than what has been broadcast. I honestly believe Palin lives in a vaccum. She couldnt even answer specifically about Pro-life issues. She is a pro-life but she couldnt convey the most obvious opinions of the S.Ct., nor could she didnt even the most basic court decisions that affect women or the handicap which she is a woman and has autistic child. SMH!
what are your predicted thoughts?? This isnt a win or lose debate. Palin will win based on sympathy, and I hope Biden just answer the questions and let her hang herself. Edited by agent2k38 on October 2, 2008 10:54:32 AM

Greetings: My view is that for the VP debate to be receiving this much attention, implies that it is very pivotal in the success for either candidate...Palin and the GOP have done a good job in generating interest and anticipation...The only attention that Biden is getting is when people talk about how he is going to handle her....No one is talking about his accomplishments... I think the fact that he is being treated like a "name" on a ticket and Palin is being SHOWCASED is not going to make him feel good about himself...If he didnt like the fact that Obama, a relative unknown outshined him in the Democratic primaries...I dont think he appreciates the fact that Palin, a woman with about the same amount of experience as Obama; is getting more attention than him as the VP candidate....At some point, his EGO is going to show... I dont think anyone would be this interested in a debate if Biden was going up against Huckabee or Romney...lol...The fact that ALL EYES will be on Palin and not on Biden has to make him feel less of a politician...and it has to be a good thing for the GOP...They have the audience right where they want it....ON PALIN... While Palin has been out of the media headlight...I think everyone knows she is very capable Governor and an accomplished politician....To think she is going to get the sh.it stomped out of her would imply that the GOP didnt do any research and just threw anyone on the VP ticket...lol... Whether people like her or not....Palin knows what she is doing...She has experienced at debating and she is a good communicator...Just like people attempted to have their "gotcha" moments with Obama when he came out....people are attempting to do the same with her....Its going to happen...she has only been the VP nominee for a little over 6weeks....of course there are going to be things she doesnt know....lol.... Your first day on a new job, you may have to ask "where is the restroom"...or "you may do something differently than the norm"...and I am sure the people that dont like the fact that you got the job are going to laugh at you for not knowing those "little" things...but in the fullness of time, you will clearly demonstrate why YOU got the job and they didnt...lol.... Everyone is using this time to have their "gotcha" moments with Palin...but while some democrats dont want to give her any credit...people quickly forgot how she came out of nowhere and IMPRESSED damn near EVERY media expert from day 1.... From a non-bias perspective, I think even most democrats (if they were being honest) expect her to hold her own...Clearly everyone knows that Biden knows more than her...and EVERYONE expects Biden to defeat her....But it should not be her intent to demonstrate that she knows as much or more than Biden.... If you are playing against MJ, you dont try to SHUT HIM DOWN...you just try to make him take HARDER shots than he would want to take...I think her goal will be to demonstrate that she may not be on par as Biden, but that she is a fast learner.... If I were her Debate captain....I would encourage her to IGNORE Biden....and attack OBAMA and not challenge Biden's knowledge on National Security.....Treat Biden like MJ and make him take HARDER shots...Biden knows National Security, but how well does he know Obama....how well does he agree with Obama....how knowledgeable is he of Obama's policies to speak on them.... Make the debate about OBAMA and how well does Biden know Obama's plans and capabilities to lead this country....If she does that...then I think she comes off well and the GOP gets a nice BUMP from the debate... Palin was able to help cut Obama's 6pt lead to 0 a few weeks ago....lets see if SHE can do it again...However, even if she fails miserable....McCain still has 2 more debates to make up ground...Lets be mindful that there has only been ONE debate and Obama has looked good on ONE issue....Becoming President requires more than winning ONE debate.. |

the same republicans who felt hiliary was not qualified to be president are the same ones who think palin is qualified... wow on what you just responded on...i really believe that newness of A WOMAN alone raised mccain's poll ratings...until palin started to open her mouth...you really believe as arrogant as the republican party is that they would humbly 'hide' palin's true intelliegence until debate day???..then why the camp???...palin is DELIBERATELY looking dumbfounded on numerous interviews and to even 'front' even more, mccain holds her hand with the last interview with katie couric--only to make a grand recognition of her intelligence on debate day???... the day's of playing on most peoples intelligence and ignorance are coming to an end...if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then it is...denial is a muthasucker.. newsflash: mccain is a man that really don't care if a woman makes it to the white house--he appointed palin because she has a va-gi-gi...he couldn't handle anyone who would contest him...heck, to live in the white house, get paid, he could have chosen 'flo' from the diner---and flo could prolly fake the funk with some intelligence more than palin...palin has no communication skills whatsoever---she has enough for alaska (that stays dark most of the yr--heck, me and a handful of friends could have done that)... it's okay to like palin...i like a lotta people, but smart enough to realize they would not be qualified to be vp/president...even the best thing mccain can say about palin is that she's POPULAR...so is snoop dog...smh.. mind is a terrible thing to waste.. |
