Mr. Palin could be reacting out of shame, especially since they are fundamentalist (so-called) christians. Even though they are anti-choice, at some point  their daughter\'s reputation and subsequent pregnancy points to their failure as parents and their failure to transmit their christian values to their children. The buck stops with Todd as head of household. According to the tabloids, their children are promiscuous and frequent drug users. The drug use could be what contributed to the birth defect of the child.  Other than this, if it is their child, maybe he is having a hard time dealing with the issue of the baby being special needs.</div>\

She had an answer for each question and had some command over her thoughts--just when you thought there might be a awkward pause,  she immediately started to give an answer surveying her thoughts...if they were her own thoughts.  <br><br>Now, let\'s talk about those answers of Palin\'s.  They were much more generic and non-descriptive. She spoke quickly, but it seemed to be for the sake of saying something instead of saying nothing.  There were times she dodged the question straight up  (McCain\'s plan to tax health benefits, military action in Darfur).  Also, she relied on memes that anyone could find on any conservative message board (lower taxes to create jobs, get the government out of our lives, etc.) Palin spoke to \'her people\' but not necessarily \'the people\'.      <br><br>Biden was much better at talking specifics and wasn\'t easily forced into the defensive--Palin had to do most of the defending in her responses, I thought.  Also, Biden seemed to  have more of his own message (without contradicting the ticket\'s platform).  Palin regurgitated many of the same arguments John McCain made against Barack Obama from last Friday night, some perhaps verbatim.  Biden was likely scripted, but it was much more obvious with Palin.  <br><br>I\'ll give Palin a \'moral\' victory for not vomiting on stage or something disastrous like that--the lowered expectations gave her leeway to shine somewhat.  But from a policy to the people standpoint, Biden was the clear winner.</div>\

There is nothing about the man that evokes change in the mind of the average American voter.  Bringing up dead fossils like Mike Mansfield and Jesse Helms just underscores that.   That being said, there is no doubt that Sarah Palin is out of her league as a Vice Presidential contender.   She continues to ramble her way through questions she clearly doesn’t know the answers to and no matter how chaming and perky she comes across on television, her lack of depth is unmistakable.   I give her points for remembering most of her talking points, but she clearly coulda used more time to cram.</div>\

It will only work with the super low information voter. Smarter people are mortified at the thought of her meeting an international leader and talking to them like a hick. "Oh hey Putin. Hows it hangin?"  "I told the president  Filipe Calderon like no way Jose & gracias but no gracias for that smidge of nose hair."  "I really want to go on a diplomatic mission to China a great and progressive nation who has opened up their great and powerful nation to free trade and capitalism so can democracy be far behind?

Sarah Palin does not represent Americans or America.  She\'s not even from a microcosm of the larger society.  She is local, and she merely took advantage of a leadership void in state government.  She knows how to present (from her journalism major and TV days) and running on the theme of shaking things up at a time when the status quo was needing to be thrashed made her an easy pick for a state of down-home folksy citizens.

Biden effectively wiped his crack with her, by the mere fact that she rufused/couldn\'t answer half the questions.  She kept wanting to duck behind energy, her security blanket.  Sen. Biden even went toe to toe there. It\'s as if no one wants to be the first to say that McCalins navy is sinking.  I am baffled by those who know the titanic is going down but are still trying to bail water out with a coffee cup.  Don\'t be fooled...what is considered as Sarah Palin "doing better than expected" is nothing more than beauty pageant/ rush hour news caster poise.  What the hay was she smiling about?  Her presence in the race is an insult to americans...to think we would actually vote for a face and a smile.  But, there are those who will do anything to keep a brother down.  We need to run her off the national stage with a whip.</div>\

I love the comments on this site... but they just fuel me on.  The fakery in this election is mind boggling.  When McCaint changed his mantra to "real change is on the way" does that mean he really supports Obama/Biden?  The only thing he is going to change is into a retiree.  He looks tired too and as a caring person, I am concerned that he is putting his health at further risk.  I wish he would be honest and stop this non-sense and continue his work in the senate.  No one will disrespect him for dropping out at this time to take care of himself. ( well, no one but rush).</div>\

I have a different respect for Joe Biden since viewing this debate ,he came across as a seasonal politician and someone who you can trust, a very caring man. There were times when I know he could had slam Sarah Palin, but he did not. "the bridge to no where" comment was funny. Sarah Palin is not so much out of her league, she is new to all of  this and it shows. I rather not be so harsh on her because I do not think she is dumb as the media and  Kaite Couric, cough, hmmmmmmmmmmm. ok wants us to believe. It\'s a new game so speak for Sarah. She will come away from this learning a lot and who knows she may run  for presidient  the next eight years for office.<br><br>I admire the way Joe Biden and Barack Obama are conducting themselves in regards to Sarah Palin.  They are  being so manly. What great examples!</div>\

We\'ll call it "Election Day" and it stars Tom Cruise as a war hero trying to take on the Viet Cong, the Taliban, reform Washington, protest on behalf of coal miners and fight aliens.  Britney Spears has a supporting role in the movie as Tom Cruise\'s spunky assistant.<br><br>You hear about the problems on the set regarding this movie.  Britney shows up late, doesn\'t know her lines, acts goofy and is in general a mess.  Tom Cruise is terrorizing the set with Scientology references, personal dramas, bad attitude and erratic behavior.  The production of the movie has been delayed, the script writers frequently change, there is no plot anymore.<br><br>The movie critics see a sneak peek of the movie and they conclude that Britney is good and she stole the show.  But the movie isn\'t about Britney\'s character, it\'s about Tom Cruise\'s character and because of his bizarre behavior off set and the total hot mess of the movie in general, people really don\'t want to see Tom Cruise or this movie.  Britney might be good in the role, but it\'s not enough to save the movie.<br><br>So the producers decide to go ahead and release "Election Day" but it\'s getting released on the same day as "Change You can Believe In," starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.  You hear that this movie is great, Will is great, Tommy Lee is great, the plot line is great, there were no problems filming the movie, people who previewed the movie thought it was great, Ebert gave it 2 Thumbs Up, it\'s getting 3 and 4 star reviews in all the newspapers and has a better marketing plan.<br><br>Which movie do you think will do better at the ballot box office?  Sarah Palin had a good "performance" last night but it\'s not enough to save the box office turkey that is the John McCain campaign.</div>\
