Do you even need to ask?

here’s our silly Internet poll

Heh.

The Bosniacs won.

& I'm not voting in this poll because the electoral process should be simpler.

Alright, there's a Biden vote up there.

'Fess up!

I'm trying to comment and hopefully, I shall. TG, OMG, that LGF, or LFG whichever, is doing a silly internet poll. Yippee, we're number one!

Hangin' chad.

Trig won big time to have such a mom.

Three Biden votes?!?!?!?

Avast! There are three mutineers aboard this ship!

All right.

Next up, the economy.

Go Sarah.....you really showed them tonight!
CONGRATULATIONS TO SARAH PALIN ! !

Name the names of those that voted for joeplugs. Are you guys NUTS?

Here's another MSM survey, this one at the Boston Globe

Currently 70% Biden (well, these are Globe readers)
22% Palin

Even in a very pro-palin poll, Biden has a higher percentage of votes than he got in the presidential primary

Bwahahahaha! Sorry I could not even type that with a straight face. Sarah kicked ass.

The poll's open to all, by the way, so there are going to be some koolaid drinkers voting for Biden.

Palin crushed Biden's head. It was almost hard to watch. Not even close.

I fear our poll might be slanted towards palin. I suggest we employ a weighting factor of -5% and an error margin of +/- 1% to give us a more accurate picture.

Using methods pioneered by the Lancet, this gives Palin a minimum lead of 94% to Biden's 6% - a far more accurate picture of the debater respective performances.

I'll phone this through to the MSN newsdesks

/Canadiac

I put up a Biden vote, because somebody ought to. Hey man, dissent is the highest form of Patriotism!

Seriously, in terms of campaign strategy, I think Biden hammered the McCain ticket pretty hard. "John really voted this way, John really voted that way, look at his record, the woman to my left is lying", he kept saying it, he kept getting away with it, and it came across pretty good, considering. McCain needs to respond to that, like, yesterday. Enough with the broad Maverick bullshit, he needs to start talking specifics and blow this McBush thing out of the air. Obama and Biden are going to run with this "empty rhetoric" strategy against McCain. The McP ticket needs to pull out the knife and get cuttin'.

I was uncomfortable watching Joe because apparently his face lift is connected to his rear scalp somewhere and gives him a permanent squint.

re: #16 Sharmuta

The hell you say!

Please note that I'm not judging objective truth, I'm judging rhetorical strategy. Biden's only hope was to play Elder Statesman and attack McCain's record, which he did, and he hit pretty hard right in the weak spot - "This Maverick thing is a lie. Don't believe it. He's more of the same."

I love that she said that and that they left the mics open. They may have been trying to catch her something bad and instead she sounded so normal.

Who are the Biden votes? Upset paulbots?

I think Sarah won, and the loser was not Joe Biden, but the msm who has done darn near everything they can to pain Sarah as unqualified and incapable of handling the position. I think more people tonight will have come to the conclusion the the msm is blowing smoke for 0bama and the ratings and readership will continue their downward spiral.

Well, I'm not so sure how well that's really going to work, considering how many Republicans know how McCain has crossed the aisle so many times (pissing us off!), and Democrats know that too.

Sandra Bernhard denies issuing Sarah Palin 'gang rape' warning
BY KORIN MILLER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Thursday, October 2nd 2008, 3:53 PM

Rothenberg for News
Sandra Bernhard
Outspoken comedienne Sandra Bernhard has shot down earlier reports that she said Sarah Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she enters Manhattan.
"I never said 'gang-raped' and I never used 'rape,' " Bernhard told the Daily News on Thursday.
The funnywoman was widely criticized after reportedly making the remark in her opening monologue during a show last month at Washington, D.C.'s Theater J.

re: #80 Archimedes

jib (a sail on a yacht)

Hey all y'all - from the AP no less:

Palin stands her ground in VP debate with Biden

ST. LOUIS - Under intense scrutiny, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin stood her ground Thursday night against a vastly more experienced Joe Biden, debating the economy, energy and global warming, then challenging him on Iraq, "especially with your son in the National Guard."

The Alaska governor also noted that Biden had once said Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wasn't ready to be commander in chief, "and I know again that you opposed the move that he made to try to cut off funding for the troops and I respect you for that."

[Link: enews.earthlink.net...]

Would have been nice to see her field dress Biden afterwards. Instead she left his carcass for the wolves.

I guess some of us lost faith in Sarah, myself included. But she really did fine. I think she connected with the country and bypassed the elites...We have a foot in the door the MSM has been trying to shut.

I think the heavy hitting on CRA's, Fannie and Freddie et al will come after the bailout voting is done. At that point I'd bet the whole laundry list will get pushes, and pushed hard.

I was disappointed that Ms. Palin did not lay the heavy lumber where it belonged as regards CRAs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, etc. They were big fat softballs waiting be hit back.

See, that's exactly it - Sarah dogged him on some things, and she DID, FINALLY (for the first time in months) call out the McSame meme as being irritating, if not false. But she could have brutalized Obama on Fannie Mae, etc., shoved ACORN up Joe's tailpipe until he was coughing out squirrels, burned his whole ticket down to the ground by really hammering the McBush bullshit with withering sarcasm, and explicitly distanced both herself and McCain from Bush as best as possible. She indirectly acknowledged some of these things but didn't pursue them.

Nobody's perfect, and maybe she wanted to keep it civil and not seem bitchy. But Biden hit McCain/Palin at least as hard as Palin hit Obama/Biden. So I give an edge to Joe, for slightly better political strateegery.

In terms of character and appeal, though, Palin wins it by a mile.

2nd comment since Feb. Nice.

re: #103 needlestack

Wrong. 2nd comment is too soon to start taking your opinions seriously.

Whew, I made it upstairs. (I hope I didn't kill a hamster in the process)

I think that Palin did a terrific job and that bin Biden was his usual windbag of mediocrity.
Last hour or so I've been watching the resident ideologues at CNN. They reluctantly admit that she performed well or beyond (their) expectations, while simultaneously trying to convince the viewer (and themselves, I think) that her performance can't possibly help the GOP in the polls. Of course, a bad performance would have cost McCain large but a good one can't really help. Always pathetic levels of bias at the marxist fellating CNN.

As far as Gwen Ifill goes - she was fine, and did a professional job. I have no complaints as far as her moderation is concerned.
She appeared professional moderate but I tend to think that was a result of her being effectively neutered by the last couple of days of controversy regarding her blatant conflict of interest. If she would have assumed default mode she would have been the attack dog against things conservative, especially Sarah Palin. And that would have been very damaging to her career. She acted in self-preservation, not out of any sense of fairness or moderation.

That was simply beautiful...

Palin, though she seemed a bit nervous at times, was composed, calm, and cheerful.

Biden, who has the absolute worst poker face ever, looked cranky and squinty (seriously, Joe, Botox?), and was making those creepy stalker smug heavy breathing noises into his mike when Palin was talking, and would then get all angry and go on teh bushrant, even after she told him not to.

We forget that the very people we think should know all of this stuff...even the McCain people...may not be as well informed as you are. They may not be aware of it. Hard to believe, but true.

And it is hard to get the history into a short sound bite.

Mostly, I think they were trying to get her on board with the foreign policy stuff. The economic story is not that old and the history of it all isn't public knowledge, and McCain is not strong on the economy himself...so they are behind the curve of LGF...as usual!

No. Don't agree. She cuts through the policy wonk B.S. which really is a whole lot of spin control. She does not speak Biden's language because it is all rhetoric. Honesty and rhetoric do not live in the same home. Biden may have good rhetoric, but people who are down to earth know he is full of - well, I won't say it but you know the word.

AH, ONE MORE THING:

Something we need to keep pounding on, to hammer away at the "Joe Biden, foreign policy sooper-genius" meme:

What THE F**K was Biden talking about?! This alleged foreign policy guru is just making shit up. Incredible.

I do hope the conservative blogosphere and media keep that one alive. Biden told a massive whopper, or displayed astounding ignorance, or both.

needlestack in 1980:

"Jimmy Carter is just so much more experienced. Reagan's just a stupid actor, I mean, come on! What does the Governor of California know about foreign policy and getting our hostages back?"

First post on LGF, but alas, as Devil's Advocate:

Biden spoke better than Palin. Not to say he didn't go off topic less than she did, but he disguised it better. Palin got caught having to agree with Biden every other minute. Didn't challenge his assertions, didn't call him on making up numbers out of thin air. Almost called him on threatening to prosecute former Bush administration officials, but didn't quite make it. I pray she's not as McCainified as she appeared.

Based on the same "science" as the consensus supporting ex-stream changes to deal with Global Warming; Palin for Lifetime Leader of the Society of Individuals who will Take Care of Themselves!

re: #83 Charles

The server load is starting to come down from "critical" to just "insane."

We did slow down, yes. But keep in mind - at this time last year, we would have been offline all night with this kind of traffic.

A load balanced setup would help, but it brings a whole host of issues along with it, not least of which is the fact that it would cost about three times per month what I'm currently paying for ...

Charles, I highly recommend you edit your comment to get rid of the subsequent two words. (LA County Hall of Records, and all that.) Feel free to delete this comment also if you deem it necessary.

You may not feel it's needed but I thought I should point it out.

re: #103 needlestack

Good lord. I don't care what your political ideology, Palin may have passed tonight, but she is the most uninformed VP candidate we've ever had on national and international issues in my entire life. Maybe she's a good governor of Alaska, but that's about it.

I know that if she wasn't McCain's VP everyone here would be ripping her a new asshole. You can be conservative, love McCain, even vote for him... but claiming Sarah makes you proud to be a republican is simply dishonest. Grow a pair and call a spade a spade.

Fuck you.

McCain ain't a conservative.

Would have been nice to see her field dress Biden afterwards. Instead she left his carcass for the wolves.

_{/it's a metaphor people.}

Donna Brazile, though I dislike her, did have a good line - "no moose in the headlights moments."

Though there were a few good shots from Palin on old Joe. I especially liked how she hit him with "Say it ain't so, Joe."

Old Joe, on the other hand, had no zip moments. He probably was Mr. Sulky tonight because he was told not to pick on Palin.

re: #140 Sharmuta

Sarah makes me proud to be a republican again. Deal with it.

Sarah makes me proud to be a homo sapien. Barack makes me wish I were, well, some other phylum.

OK needlestack, I'll take you on.

This woman has never done a major debate in her entire life, has never run for national office, has had five weeks to prepare, and was 7 years old when Biden was doing his first debates.

I think she stood up there and handled herself pretty well.

Especially when Biden decided to give her a little stroke. And I do mean stroke.

Dudes, watch the replay after the debate. He could have started a fire rubbing her arm like that.

There must be a whole art form of making accounts on LGF just to hold them for a carefully timed trolling.

re: #64 The Shadow Do

Yup, I expect she checked the crap at the coat check on the way in.

Yes, Ifill did a good job, except for cutting Sarah off several times. I thought Joe's comment about having to hurry because his time was about up was juvenile: it was like he was saying, See! I am ready for the VP because i know the difference between a green light and a red light!

re: #103 needlestack

I have a pair and here's my spade:

Sarah Palin speaks for me. Heck, she speaks just LIKE me. (We even have the same accent)

I have been politically active since 1976. The only candidate that ever came close to speaking for me was Ronald Reagan. His ideas were my ideas. His vision of America was my vision.

In Sarah , I have those same ideas, that same vision, but in the form of a woman, a mother of a soldier, a woman with a handicapped family member, a conservative, and evangelical, a supporter of Israel and a strong pro-life voice. She is ME. I have REPRESENTATION.

Heck - if it were not for that whole beauty queen thing, we could be twins.

I am not only supporting her, I am ecstatic about it!

So there is my spade, and you are welcome to it.

re: #75 Dar ul Harb

Well, I'm not so sure how well that's really going to work, considering how many Republicans know how McCain has crossed the aisle so many times (pissing us off!), and Democrats know that too. If you want a center-right government, McCain's going to be the guy. If you're looking for Marxism-lite, the Dear Leader 0bama needs your vote.

I'd rather die than vote for a fucking Alinskyite Marxist punk bitch like Obama, so let's clear that up right now. His little Mocha Messiah ass should stick to playing President on TV, where he belongs.

But I am from the Northeast, I understand how those people think, I'm a centrist/libertarian myself, and I don't want the Republicans to trip over their own shoes. Repubs are at least as cringe- and sigh-inducing as the Dems, at their worst, and I hate seeing them miss opportunities to burn down the house just so they can feel good about their own mom-and-apple-pie kinder-and-kueche talk.

Call the bastards out, kneecap them, don't let them get away with it. Sarah is a great start, but McCain needs to start putting sidewinders up Commie exhaust pipes here.

That rope's getting mighty soggy.

Lots of bullshit there for a first post

re: #121 realwest

I think McCain would have a hard time bringing up CRA/CArter/Acorn and all unless there were more info about it in the MSM leading up to the debate.

People, unfortunately, don't want to go back that far in history. (Realize that most people an only remember who won American Idol 2 years ago and that many of the electorate weren't speaking in sentences when Carter was in Office). To buy alcohol in most states one has to have been born in 1987.

There has been a big lack of history teaching in public schools. If the listeners weren't pre-educated about the whole mess, they'd just assume that McCain was lieing and blaming Carter/Clinton. Because, you know Jimmah is that nice old man that builds houses . . . ..

Bill Clinton seems also to be working against Obambi, so bringing him into the mess may not be a good idea.

On pure capitalist/individual rights basis I can find lots of fault with what she said, but in the context of our times, I think she did a good job. And, for crying out loud, she is much more qualified than either Obama or Biden. That should be obvious to anyone who is real world oriented. And man does she have a great sense of life.

Hey, I'd love to see Thomas Jefferson and James Madison running, but we live in times where lofty ideas by giants aren't going to be listened to.

I'll call a spade a spade: Palin won in SPADES!

My silly internet poll: By a show of hands, how many of you have NEVER been polled?

/wait for it....

I was frustrated that Biden seemed to get the last word on most topics, leaving his accusatory statements hanging un-rebutted.

And while the content of Biden's speech was all B.S., I have to admit, he sounded a bit more sure of himself than Governor Palin, who came across--at least initially--as somewhat nervous (although that may be attributable to her quick way of talking and her naturally high-pitched voice).

Palin arguably held her own, but it wasn't enough; I'm hoping McCain will cream Obama in the next two debates.

Oh yeah, that whole Hezbo/Palestine thing was about five whole paragraphs of Dubyah-Tee-Eff. "What is he even talking about?"

- I don't recall anybody worrying about Hamas winning elections until AFTER they won. In fact, I thought Hamas was "moderate" and "represented the people"?

- What happened to Hezbo being a "social organization"? What's with a Democrat calling them bad? Didn't Biden just flush Dearborn down the toilet for Obama?

- What is this bullshit about Bush policy towards Israel/Palestine being a failure, and that McCain is more of the same? Uh, hello, Condi and Bush are swinging BACK to the Bush/Baker/State Dept. line, which has been a proven failure for as long as Biden has been working in Washington... Now even Bush's Palestinian policy is tainted somehow? Buhwah?

- Are we admitting that Hezbo is an Iranian proxy now?

Biden and Obama are both really intent on dumping their base to sound knowledgeable on these matters... They're not just flip-flopping, they're making it all up on the fly. It's amazing.

I am from the Midwest, and frankly (no offense meant to you) we are so way tired of the way those people think.

That's why we love Sarah. She ain't that.

Should I tell you why I moved to Texas as soon as I was able? :)

Massachusetts is the only state that's posting a net loss of its (legal, registered U.S. citizen) population. There are many reasons. The prissy, un-self-conscious arrogance of the Northeastern Elitists is about #6 on my personal list. I got sick to death of it.

Sarah Palin has principles. It may not seem as important to Obamites as having a head overcrammed with factoids, but it makes a critical difference to those of us out here in the country that have been watching Biden and the other circusmembers for years.

re: #219 CommonCents

I got out the smelling salts and went to MSNBC and even the Olbef*ck was saying it was a deadheat (actually he called it a 7-6 game). That's an admission of defeat by the left if I ever heard one.

Well that is a shocka. But anyway as for who won, stylpe points count and on style, Sarahcuda won and Biden with his smarmy smile l-o-s-t

re: #70 Sharmuta

I think Sarah won, and the loser was not Joe Biden, but the msm who has done darn near everything they can to pain Sarah as unqualified and incapable of handling the position. I think more people tonight will have come to the conclusion the the msm is blowing smoke for 0bama and the ratings and readership will continue their downward spiral.

Unless they are a Obama spuuorterfollower.

re: #194 Infidel_One

Couple times you could see Biden hurt by Palins jabs....
She won on points, but I wanted to see a knockout.
Fox has her winning by huge numbers...
CNN has Biden winning.
And I won't even look at the other "news sites"
Can we have a poll on who won the Oreilly/Frank fight on Fox
Geez I kinda have a bit of respect for Bill after watching him
slam Barney.
To bad they weren't in the same room. Fists would have flown.

(Emphasis mine)

I'd say, if someone puts the video of it up on YouTube, go for it! :D :D :D :D

re: #210 Slumbering Behemoth

My silly internet poll: By a show of hands, how many of you have NEVER been polled?

/wait for it....

I have, twice. And I work in the industry too.

Many people hang up on us thinking we are some kind of "sales" call.

Listen to the full intro.

If it is a poll, it can be fun. If it is a sales call, hang up on their ass.

Sarah was great tonight.

I am so happy.

This was a good day.

Biden' eye lift was a big error. He looks ghastly

re: #220 Archimedes

I know. It's a tough situation. I sooooo wanted to be with you all tonite, but just couldnt' make it.

re: #233 armytramp

We hope there are more of you - it is ok, you can say she is cute (sort of like how Joe Paschi said to Fred Gwynne in "My cousin Vinny" - "and, she 's kinda cute..."
