Also, its astounding and aggravating that Palin can get away with her "folksy" phrases and not be dubbed a total moron. The media panned W. for making up and misprounouncing words that are part of a President's everyday vernacular, why aren't they pouncing on her for words like "betcha" and idiotic phrases like, "there you go again Joe, blah blah..." Sarah Palin is basically qualified to be the student body vice president of a small high school, and that's about it, in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822678093661476153.post-55739014883639997542008-10-03T11:06:00.000-04:002008-10-03T11:06:00.000-04:00No one gives a shit about VP debates.

Palin didn't sound like a total moron, but she didn't blow anyone away either. Biden would've had to sprout wings and flap around the room singing Whispering Bells for anyone spill any ink about him today. That shit was very definitely not about him. <BR/><BR/>Last night won't change anyone's minds, and no one's even gonna remember it in a few days, much less November 4th.Open Barhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296373954499786645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822678093661476153.post-72754068744417389932008-10-03T10:47:00.000-04:002008-10-03T10:47:00.000-04:00If I were given two weeks to prepare and you told ...If I were given two weeks to prepare and you told me that I had to go up against Joe Biden in a debate and I had to play the part of the Republican nominee for vice president, I would do a pretty good job expounding on the issues relevant to Republicans.<BR/><BR/>So would any of you.<BR/><BR/>But she can't do it extemporaneously because she's wildly unqualified.<BR/><BR/>I love that analogy, Rice.

She can't say: Oh, no thanks, I'm not qualified. If the Red Sox asked me to be play second base for them, I'd accept.<BR/>But this fact remains: She is inarticulate and seemingly in the dark about issues that are not germane to Alaska. It seems to me that everyone, including those living on "main street," is entitled to a VP who speaks clearly and intelligently about her stances on every topic, not one who puts words together like some kind of jumble. <BR/>Is the fact that she is in the political spotlight McCain's fault? I suppose so, sure. Just not sure it matters. Either way, whether his fault or not, people who do not vote along party lines blindly aand who are interested in having a VP who can run the show if needed are going to steer clear of Palin and vote against McCain. At least I sure hope so.<BR/>And by the way, I am the same size as Pedroia.
