That's exactly what the office manager at work was saying today. Palin did this in the gubernatorial races as well.
Of course the office manager said it was "Reaganesque." I said, "uh-huh," and turned back to writing my article on storytime at the local library.

She slipped up once.
When Biden praised the wind-fall profits in Alaska, and said he hoped she could talk McCain into something like that if elected, she was clearly shaken.
Right and because of that, she probably got a bunch of the people on the fence to come over to the McCain side. The biggest issue is that people thought she was an idiot and not capable of being the VP. Tonight, she showed some composure and didn't look like as much a fool as people expected her to be.
Biden, on the other hand, was as expected.
Advantage: Palin.
Palin was using a lot of casual speak, dog gone, maverick nicknames and a lot of references to her small town america background.
While Biden was definitely trying to seem like the high class experienced Washington senator, which he is, in both speaking technique and mannerisms.
Bringing to light Palins inexperience in a very subtle but effective way.
On the other hand, I get the impression Palin is going to be more likeable to certain groups who value that ethic.
But I dont see how anyone could put her in that job over him. He was professional, riddled with facts and data to the eyeballs, calm and respectful to her and McCain while also destroying her and shooting down all of her points.
I think in the end, Biden definitely seemed presidential, which was mentioned in the old thread. While Palin did not.
I completely missed that remark
Holy shit that is cold

McCain is set on keeping it a state issue I believe
See that's the problem.
People are claiming a win for Palin because despite her just getting reamed in the debate by Biden, she wasn't as stupid and lost as she was in her earlier interviews, where Biden was Biden, just more awesome.
That's not a Palin win dammit, that's Palin losing by less of a margin than expected.
My father said that he wanted Biden's name on the top of the ticket, after the debate.
yeah but you have to keep in mind that's probably not representative of the nation as a whole
probably a high percentage of people that would support Palin wouldn't choose to go online right after the debate to share their opinion
i honestly can't believe that. and i come from canadian politics.
How people could still fall for this "I will make a great leader of nations because I am a hick" just blows my mind
Palin was smarter than she was expected to be, and while Biden basically just destroyed her, since she was better at the debate than was predicted people are saying it was a win for her.
By everyone I'm referring to the stupid news people.
46 : 21
Biden : Palin
The remark in question about about better pay for teachers. Biden's current, and VERY MUCH ALIVE wife is a teacher. The "her reward is in heaven" comment was a comment about the poor pay teachers currently receive. It was a compliment towards Biden's current, AND STILL VERY ALIVE, wife.
which is why people with any stat background know that polling like that, however nice to see at the moment, is of very shaky statistical reliability.
not unlike mccain heavy phone polls

doesn't matter what the pundits say, pundits are idiots
just look at polls

still a nasty, low comment

Definitely
Biden looked like a guy who could lead a country

Comparitively speaking, she improved; Biden remained the same.
plus I voted and then it would have let me vote again if I had wanted to
soo obvious why that was fielded.

But lacking tact when faced with the fact that one of bidens wives is already getting her reward as we speak.

thanks for the clarification
it is still in pretty poor taste, considering, though
still massively tactless. any non-retarded person would go 'OH WAIT, ONE OF HIS WIVES IS DEAD, BETTER NOT USE THAT PHRASE'
I agree.
what? how the fuck is it a nasty comment?
I'm waiting to see the YTMND that gets made out of that sound bite.
Did Gov. Sarah Palin exceed expectations in the debate?
a comment:
"Only beat expectations because she didn't come out drunk & hollering "I hate those damn polar bears! Let's kick that (racial slur's) ass! Woohoo!"

Good lord
That's not in the best taste either, considering her child.
By the way, my mother, who has spent decades working with individuals and children with special needs is CONVINCED that they drug that baby before pulling it up on stage.
