Hi everyone --


We wanted to get your reaction to the Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin. Did you watch? What did you think -- and who do you consider the winner? Were there any surprises? Tell us what you considered to be the highlights, the low points and everything in between.


 


Please note: This discussion will be featured on our homepage as well as our Election 2008 feature page (http://www.ivillage.com/0,,dkrjhqbk,00.html) and may elicit some "Guest" responses from our "Talkback" box tool on the page. Inappropriate responses that violate our Terms of Service will be removed.


Thanks for your input!

>>The thing that surprised me about the debate was that I was surprised to find myself liking Joe Biden....despite his heavy make-up....phony Chicklet teeth and obvious hair plugs.

>>Governor Palin is genuine; Biden is phony and a liar...he always has been. Biden reminds me of a used car sales person....despite the fact that I know he is a liar and has his best interest at heart not mine/ours....you kind of find your self liking him anyway.

Gosh, I'd hate to meet a person you dislike. LOL!

I think poppycock is a great word to describe some posts.

I believe the current description of such GOPAC-taught nonsensical verbiage is "word salad."

I don't see anything wrong in what you call "folksy" speak.

"Personally, it drives me crazy and I don't think it's particularly intelligent sounding.

Biden by a landslide!! She couldn't even answer the questions being asked she tried to reroute questions to reflect her script (which was basic) and she failed to define the McCain campaign as anything other than a Bush campaign. We absolutely don't need any continuation of the past 8 years!
