Palin seemed small compared to Biden

[auburngrad82]

I'm not talking about physical size. She seemed mentally small. Maybe it was the "folksey" talk, maybe it was the way she avoided answering so many questions, or maybe it was the very obvious lies. And, for me, the "white flag" comment seemed like a line straight off a list of "go to" phrases the coaches gave her to use when she couldn't defend her position.

I thought Biden was great. He didn't attack Palin, he kept the attack on McCain by tying him to Bush, and he took away the "maverick" term at the end of the debate. I just wish he had done it earlier because the over-use of "maverick" is killing me.

But overall I don't think Palin appealed to anyone except her base.

You betcha!

1. She was small!

Think of all the bad actresses you know, soap operas, B movies, Life Time movies, Tori Spelling....EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE DONE WHAT SARAH PALIN DID LAST NIGHT. They could have spent weeks memorizing answers written by other people. When asked a question that they didn't have an answer for, they simply fill in with a canned answer or lines from speeches.

Paris Hilton has been in movies...she could have done that debate last night.

2. SP is like Marge Gunderson but without the smarts

Oh, I just think I'm gonna barf... well that passed. Now I'm hungry again.

3. I kept seeing Tina Fey on stage

And yes, more than once I turned to my wife and said "Oh Jeez" or "I think I'm gonna barf" so there was the Marge Gunderson thing going on.

5. Both she and McCain are small in stature, intellect and spirit. Two nasty, small people. America

is way too big for people like that.

6. That impression really came across clearly on radio

It is so clear when listening on radio that her presentation is almost exclusively a physical one, because her words come across without any real meaning - she really doesn't say anything.
