VP debate post-mortem 1

Wow. Chris Matthews hit the two most important points — that Sarah Palin wants to explore an increased legislative role for the vice president and that she has no interest in dealing with the press (or even answer the questions that Gwen Ifill asked).

My sense in watching it was 1) that she had a short list of talking points and phrases and stayed with them as much as she could, 2) that she often fell into a garbled syntax that may indicate a lack of analytical skill, and 3) that a McCain-Palin administration is dangerous.

  2. I thought Biden did great, no major gaffes, no foot in the mouth. As for Palin, who cares how she did in the debate? I know what she and the GOP stand for: the rich, the richer and the richest. I am not fooled by all her fake populism. From Reagan to Bush the Disaster the GOP is always on the side of the rich and against anything that helps ordinary Americans; things like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The GOP is the big obstacle in the way of universal health care.
