2008 U.S. Presidential Election: Vice-Presidential Debate - Page 7

Gidget's doing a lot better than I expected, but she's starting to look more and more uncomfortable as the debate progresses.

The whole "nucular" thing drives me batshit insane though, as well as her dodging of the answers. Still, I'm sure her supporters will think she did quite well, whatever the outcome.

I've never been much of a Biden fan, but at least he comes off as cool and collected.

I wonder if Webster's Dictionary has finally given in and added "nyoo-kyoo-lahr" as an alternate pronunciation of "nuclear."

Biden does need to stop referring to himself in the third person....

Take that away, he has been more direct in answering questions. I think he is ahead.

I had such low expectations, I am trying to sort through in my mind, is she really doing better?

I am leaning Joe.

I'm taking expectations into effect.

but fair enough.

I just got off the phone with my grandparents to see what they think of the debate so far, and my grandma's response was, "Well, she doesn't sound stupid tonight." I don't call that an accomplishment.

Have they talked about how much they love Israel yet?

It's got to be the most important attribute for a US VP candidate.

It's all about the Florida vote.

"Let me just say I really respect your love for Israel..." or something to that effect.

Yes, more or less as I would have expected.

Really, it's all that matters.

No, they're Obama supporters. They're far more astute than the average elderly voter, I think. They're the only elderly people I know who are voting for him. They do not like John McCain and they feel picking Palin was an insult to the American people.

Yes, that's probably part of it.
