Or Good vs. Not-So-Good I know that some of this ground has been covered before, but after the Biden-Palin debate, I wanted to revisit it, research it, and emphasize it. I believe that Obama picked Biden for his forthrightness and knowledge of foreign affairs. I also believe that Palin was hastily chosen as a "sign" to the Right Wing Christians. The rallies for McCain-Palin have proven that the radical right needs to vent its frustrations, and not in any respectful way. The rhetoric that...

Since Sarah Palin pretty much called herself a pit-bull during her acceptance speech at the RNC does that make Biden the ‘dog catcher’ and will Joe be able to round-up and put away the so called pit-bull?
Palin and Biden is scheduled to face off tonight in one of the most highly anticipated vice-presidential debates in history, giving voters a chance to directly compare the two.
Biden has been in the US senate since 1972 and must heed his tendency to lapse into confusing verbosity while...

As I've mentioned in my posts yesterday, I was gone for more than five days. Although I noticed that the Palin-Biden debate is the most hot topic online yesterday, I did not bother to post something about it. I just dont feel like posting something about it. But now, I have no choice since the topic continually rises to the top especially the Palin-Biden debate video. I believe that most Americans watched the debate already. Repeating it is not bad. It only shows that you are one...

Biden is known for often displaying his emotion, and he does so when he works into an answer the tragedy he endured shortly after he first won his Senate seat in 1972: the death of his wife and daughter in a car accident.
His two young sons, though seriously injured, survived and Biden said he learned over the next few years what it was like to be a single parent.
As he related the story, he paused, his eyes appearing to moisten somewhat.
He then interjects a gender element into the dialogue...

Palin came out swinging. I have to give her credit for fighting for her party - she held her own. But Palin didn’t debate, she came with talking points and we were going to hear them whether or not we asked her about them. Forget the rules; she was going to get out her talking points come hell or high water! Palin asked herself her own questions and answered her own questions – especially about energy, energy, energy, amazing!
I believe that Palin had a personal victory...

The first and only Vice Presidential Debate between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Sarah Palin, unsurprisingly garnered a lot more “hype”, if you will, than the first Presidential Debate one week prior. I’ll be taking on the task of getting behind that hype.

Didya see the Palin/ Biden Debate? I did. And Palin cleared wiped the floor with Biden. I was fearful that Biden's suppsed experience and expertise would make Palin look like the Bimbo they keep trying to paint her as or the harpy they painted Hillary as. I was wrong! PHEW!! But then... I decided to listen to some talk radio. Both on the Right and The Left. All I can say is, "OMG are we all on the same planet? Did we all see the SAME debate?" My head is spinning from the spin. I...

Okay, okay, I know we're the only people in America (I shouldn't say "we" — it's just me, Intel editor Chris) who think that Joe Biden and Sarah Palin were exuding some sexual energy during their vice-presidential debate in October. But seriously, the flirtation continues. At a governors...
