1. Faux folksiness/Gwen Ifill's incompetence.

4. Then I wonder why the overwhelming majority of the polls gave it to Biden.

5. I disagree with your assessment.
But welcome to DU, anyway.

8. Democratic Underground.
That's the name of the website you are on.


Not 'Candy-Assed Fence-Sitting Shithead Underground'


Independent is just another word for 'undecided' in my book.

Fuck off.

9. Har har
Are you suppose to be funny? Maybe you missed the part where Biden scored higher with independents while speaking. Seems like your alone in your little tugboat.

10. If you think last night was a disaster,
you should be able to provide some evidence that a lot of people agree with you. Surely some overnight polls exist that show whether your impressions are common ones. It would bolster your case if you could cite one or two.

13. "held her own" as in.. not answering questions
She did hold her own though, you're right! She managed to fit in everything she walked on stage to say.

14. Clinton whining still?
Give it up. There was no "word duel," it was her mouthing gosh darn talking points and Joe Biden smashing John McCain. It wasn't a debate by any standard.

3. This woman cannot complete a sentence.
I find her "folksy" talk more as an illiterate trying to fit in. We already have bush who has embarrassed the hell out of us with world leaders we don't need this one. If she winks one more time I am going to puke. She also wants to expand the VP's powers in the legislature. NO WAY!!!

7. 1,3,4, and 5 all tie for me.
I could not stand the winking and the completely inappropriate, smarmy smiling.

I don't the Gwen did a great job, either. The format was too loose.

11. The overly faux folksiness was the worst for me. I expected the evading questions...
but I didn't expect such an over-the-top faux folksiness. The only good part about this is I can barely wait for the Tina Fey folk hero this Saturday!
