I'm praying.

I'm nervous!

Is it over yet?

user-pic

Yes

It makes me mad, why oh why should we feel this nervous when the opponent is an obvious idiot?

Joe, please...

it's over before it began

I'm hoping for a train wreck. Is that unamerican?

I can't watch. It's too awful.

It's American, we love tabloid blotter

For once I wish I had a TV. Just listening on NPR.

Can I call you Joe?

Half a point for Palin.

-- ARG

She's gonna call him Joe...

That's nice...

So it begins

Introduced her as Governor Palin and then just "Joe" Biden. No slight there, am glad it wasn't the other way around.

kiss it Joe

Hey guys, this is my 1st post, I am on here all the time. I feel like I know you guys.

Do you have that twenty bucks you owe me?

Hello. I have been reading a long time too, even if I do not comment much. Anyway, nice to see you, Josh.

Soccer?

Joe was ready for the bailout question.

So is Palin -- soccer mom.

Has this been a good time or a bad time in the economy? Good question if you don't know anything.

Ok, before all of this is over, her accent is going to drive me INSANE.

Should we start a "betcha" counter?

"Betcha" count indeed. How about a tally of these as well: "gosh darn," "up there," and "also, too." My beginning speech students know this stuff as garbage and filler. And don't even get me started about NUCULAR.

My first post, by the way. You regulars crack me up!

She already brought up the hockey rink.

Oversight? Seriously?

huh? Off on a tangent at the gates? Oversight from a repug?

She's quivering...and really not comfortable.

Heh, I am too.

:/

They're both wearing flag pins!

Don't let 'em hear you sigh, Joe!

-- ARG

Oh god, the soccer mom thing...

she is nervous

suspending his own campaign. . .I thought that was debunked. . .

"SUSPENDED HIS CAMPAIGN"... BIG "PERCEPTION" DROP AT THOSE WORDS.

Is she always going to begin with Biden? Better if Palin is first I think.

Joe's being to techie

the joe line was good....

So far Biden focusing on McCain and Bush - that's good.

Neither of them are looking at the other. Uh oh. Then again, they seem to have never met? How odd.

oh I'm a fundamental!

OMG, she just winked at America.

Is Palin reading off index cards?

She WINKED at ME!

user-pic

I seriously can't deal, and watching the ballgame instead. Please let me know if it's safe to wade in.

She's spouting a script. Oh dear, oh dear.

Is that what it was? I thought maybe they had swapped her with a robot.

user-pic

Not fair to Palin that she has to defend McCain's ridiculous "the fundamentals are the workers" statement.

-- ARG

Why does this remind me of the Winona Ryder trial?
