7:39: Strozzapreti? "Priest choker"!
7:55: Are you going to watch on CNN, with the uncommitted viewers' reaction lines undulating at the bottom of the screen? Wow. That's crazy! I can't tolerate that distraction, and the "persuadable" voters they've assembled are... not people I feel like monitoring on a real-time basis.
7:58: What are you looking for, mainly? Honestly, I'm mainly looking to see if Sarah Palin can sound reasonably competent.
8:02: The 2 candidates stride out, both dressed in black. "Hey, can I call you Joe?" we hear Sarah say. Palin looks tiny behind her lectern. She's behind her lectern there, and here's where I am, chez Althouse:
8:06: Palin's flag pin is way bigger than Biden's. Biden has a brown dot on his forehead. Palin refers to "the fundamental" of our economy. She's speaking too quickly, sounding nervous.
8:09: Whose fault is the sub-prime mortgage meltdown? Palin says the moneylenders have taken advantage of people, and she mentions "hockey moms" a second time. Biden blames Republican deregulation. Biden's forehead wrinkles only way over on the side, while the whole center is smooth and flat. What do you think? Botox?
8:13: Palin says she might not answer the questions the way the monitor wants, but she's going to talk straight to the American people. She reveals her overarching strategy. And I note that she's speaking clearly and confidently. There is no stumbling or fear, as far as I can see.
8:19: Joe Biden is going to "eliminate those wasteful spending."
8:27: I'll bet a lot of people are tuning out about now, satisfied that Palin is competent and smart, but pretty bored.
8:29: I'm reading Andrew Sullivan: "Biden is just dreadful. He speaks in Washingtonese. She just issues the soundbites and wrinkles her eyes and tells stories. And that works. The speed and chirpiness she delivers overwhelms one's ability to even quite absorb what she's saying. And it has put Biden off-stride. It's Biden who seems over-crammed." It seems to me that both of them are spewing policy (and it's getting tiresome). "Chirpiness"... I don't know, Andrew... that reads as sexist to me. Why is she overwhelming your ability to absorb what she's saying? Is she working some voodoo on you... and on Biden?
8:34: Palin said "Senator O'Biden."
8:35: Palin razzes Biden on clean coal. Is he for it or not? Biden says he's for it, and his rope-line comment was about his support for exporting clean coal technology to China. That doesn't seem to fit the text of his remark (which he claims was "taken out of context").
8:37: Biden passionately expresses support for equal treatment for same-sex couples, and Palin opposes same-sex marriage, but says that in all other ways she's completely tolerant of adults forming their own relationships. Biden then is given the opportunity to disavow gay marriage, which he eagerly does. Okaaaay.
8:40: Palin is praising the surge and insisting on victory in Iraq. "It would be a travesty if we quit now." Biden complains that she didn't state a plan. On the split screen, when Biden is speaking, Palin looks like she's brimming with ideas she's just waiting to express. When she gets her turn, she says Biden's plan is a "white flag of surrender." She reminds Biden of how much he supported McCain and how he said Obama was not ready to be President.
8:49: Biden is mugging and scratching his neck in an exaggerated way. I think he was trying to signal his objection to the things Palin was saying about Obama's willingness to sit down with Ahmadinejad.
8:51: Biden's heating up! Is he losing his temper?
8:55: At Drudge:
8:57: Well, let me ask:
9:03: Palin enthuses over her Washington outsider status as she claims to hear Biden saying, essentially, I was for it before I was against it.
9:09: "Palin: 'Oh, man, it's so obvious that I'm a Washington outsider and just not used to the way you guys operate!' And then, Biden pats down his brow. On sheer theatrics, Palin definitely won that moment." LOL. That's Jac (my son), who's also live-blogging.
9:11: "There you go again. Say it ain't so, Joe." Palin was waiting to say that. Biden's error? Linking McCain to Bush. Palin seems supercharged. The question is education, and she's praising teachers and winking at her dad in the audience.
9:13: Palin gets a big laugh saying that she and Biden made "lame jokes" back in the beginning of the debate when they avoided answering the question what they wanted to do as VP. Clearly, she's really relaxed. The end is in sight, and she knows she's done well. She's stood her ground next to Biden. She hasn't stumbled, and he's seemed a bit boring.
9:25: Asked what he's changed his opinion about, Biden says he came to realize that judicial ideology matters. (Which is why he opposed Bork.) Palin says she's never had to compromise.
9:29: We've reached the prepared closing statements. So Palin has survived... more than survived. She won, I think most people will say. Now, she's able to say she likes to do these unscripted things. She quotes Ronald Reagan (again) and mentions "freedom" (again and again).
9:31: Biden gives his closing statement. He seems like a nice man. Did he ever attack her?
9:34: Huge crowd of family on the stage.
9:36: The final poll:
POST-DEBATE: Let me highlight some comments. Stupe said...
Althouse can't just eat normal foods, she needs trendy.Is burning the sauce now a trend? Or do I create the trend? If so, I can't help but be trendy. Is there a strozzapreti trend? I just picked the pasta that had a shape that appealed to me. So just be yourself, Stupe, and believe it's all very trendy, and that might make you happy. Don't think about me. Or, hell, think about me until it drives you crazy.
She doesn't go to chain restaurants, and her cuisine needs to reflect her offbeat, edgy, urbane, t[r]endy life.
Ruth Anne Adams said...
The hair in [Sarah Palin's] eye is bothering my husband.Ha ha. That was bugging me too. I was distracted thinking about whether she was distracted thinking about whether it would be more distracting to disentangle her bangs from her (false?) eyelashes than to allow the bangs-eye combo to continue as a single unit.
Lisa said...
So far, she sounds smart, sane and Republican.(Lisa said baby on a night like this...)
The left will hate her. The right will agree with her.

Karl Rove just ticked off 10 major gaffes by Joe Biden. It was hysterical.schorsch said...
Regardless of who won, Biden's tactic failed. He was there to debate Bush and McCain, and to ignore Palin as if she wasn't worthy of his attention. She engaged him, specifically, and was therefore the only person in the debate that was actually occurring.

Heh. Biden is asked about a potential Biden administration and says (to the effect of) "God forbid that should happen," "it would be a national catastrophe." For once I agree with him. The idea of President Biden... Ick.
Twenty More Minutes
"I'm sick of hearing about polar bears. Shut the fuck up about the fucking polar bears!"
And I'm fucking sick of you, Palladian. Go fucking extinct, dude. Say another bad thing about polar bears, and I'll send one over to eat you, if he or she is not too repulsed by your nastiness or is it your nattiness? Okay, both.
"Wasilla, Main Street"
That's the collective howl of Sally Quinn-Jann Wenner-David Gergen you hear in the background.
Good point. Palin reminds people she is the middle class and Joe Biden certainly is not.
Whom amongst you can disagree with a Team of Mavericks?
Ugh. Bases clearing double. 5-0 Dodgers.
Biden: "Can I respond?"
Ifill: "PLEASE!"
He spends a lot of time at The Homo Depot?? Senator Craig, call your office.
Joe is running against Bush?
Twenty More Minutes
Oy. My cup runneth over.
Say it ain't so!
Say it ain't so Joe!
"A little reality from Main street Wasilla..."
Best line of the debate!
It ain't so, Joe! YEAAAAA!
Joe here you go again!
Aha! She called him Joe.
Dog gone it! Her reward is in heaven, right?
DRINK!!!! GO CRAZY!
"Say another bad thing about polar bears, and I'll send one over to eat you"
My army of kinkajous will fuck your tired polar bear up.
I like CNN's undulating graph. Do they have voters hooked up to an EEG or what?
it virtually guarantees an massive Israeli bombing attack on Iran in 2009...
Probably sooner. Israel is getting tired of the US telling it what it can and cannot do. I hope they finally make Jerusalem the capital.
Shout out! LOL! OMG EXTRA CREDIT.
Cute. Overload. CLEAR!
heartbeat away...ooh...
Biden is good at reframing and rattling off his lists. Give him that, he's been doing it for three or four decades. No daylight.
Palin is a little puppyish but her own woman.
Why is Biden responding? Um, gratuitous much?
Oh yeah the coal miner...
oofah! say it aint so joe! Who was it here with the baseball tonight?
Damn they are freeform, this is almost like a dogfight itself.
Why does anyone care about polar bears?
We need flexibility in NCLB and an emphasis on the profession of education.
Yep.
"There you go again." Good reference for the Reagan fans.
Cuda is landing some major body shots now. Joe's eyes are glazed, he's going downnnnnn!
Ifill is grading Joe Biden on a bell curve.
That's the Sarah Palin America has fallen in love with.
Snide Quen again!
Just to note:
An Obama victory = Massive Israeli air strikes in Iran.
Hey - lil Trumpit's meds have worn off. How are you today, little typo boy? Is your mommy giving you extra time on the computer for being a good boy and not splooging the keyboard? That's a nice thing...

Gladys Wood Elementary - You Betcha, dog gone it!!!

i can't help but notice...everybody has DISAPPEARED.
Palin wants Govt back on the side of the people. Wasilla Main Street needed in DC. I like that Gov.
You can see Biden thinking to himself - this broad is damn good.
Biden talks about his "neighborhood" and Home Depot where he spends a lot of time.
Biden lives in a $3 Million custom built house on four acres.
Ifill makes a smarmy, snarky comment after Palin spoke of the teachers in her own family.
Nice little moment between them just then.
You get extra credit for watching these debates!

"Michael said...

Ugh, too bad you didn't join them.
Biden is feeding Ifill direction on what questions he wants?
lem - she never was.
CO- PRESIDENCY
Alex is the lamest troll.
Biden says he'll be the responsible adult in an Obama administration.
ooh biden, point person. obama would have his own lobbyist.
help govern, as in be the grown-up?
uh oh what will we do if biden dies and obama has nobody to tell him what to do?
"So which one of our trolls are lamer:
Alpha, Palladian or Michael"
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm a troll now? Is it because I don't "love" Israel?
Darfur- Ha ha ha ha ha. The only people who care about Darfur are bobble head celebrities.
...I don't see Biden as a "Home Depot" kind of guy.
I always wanted to try to hunt polar bears.
Here is Quen attempting to trap Palin with a VP constitutional question!
Dodgers 5, Cubs 0.
In a much less even match than the debate.
From watching the first 40 minutes and ducking in and out during game breaks, I'd say this debate is a draw, so far. Palin wins if only by not being Katie Couric's bitch anymore.
Joe is scratching his face...a bit of blow?
Palin = Cheney 2!! She SAID IT!
4th Branch!
Biden is desperate. He just insulted the Vice-President, thus establishing a precedent for someone to insult him should he get in.
Victoria - why did you call me a troll?
Poor Cubs - Yet, if they keep losing, the world will not end - Armageddon will have been averted
Biden is throwing raw meat to the nut roots by attacking VP Cheney.
What I want for Christmas - a recording of Sara Palin reading my favorite line from the movie Fargo:
"So, is that yer friend in th' chipper shredder there?"
Oh dear, Palin repeats the talking point.
Anyone still awake after that last Biden snoozefest (comment)?
And Alex, if there ever was a candidate for a real, Axelrod astroturfer, it would be you. You seem usually supportive of McCain and Palin, but I notice that you also drop little "of course McCain is going to lose, too bad Obama is going to win by a landslide" comments which seem designed to discourage and dismay your "fellow" conservatives. So are you on the Axelrod payroll?
Her answer about Cheney's argument that the Vice President is part of the legislative branch was weak. But she's saved by Biden's mistake: he is totally wrong that Cheney invented the idea. He did not. The first person to make the argument that the Vice-President is part of the legislative rather than the executive branch wasn't Dick Cheney, or even David Addington. It was Oliver Ellsworth, delegate to the Constitutional convention of 1787, writing in the Connecticut Courant, in December 1787. See John Feerick, From Failing Hands 52 (1965).
Sarah wins!
Like Cheney, Palin is an abuser of power.

9:19 PM
You noticed too. I thought I was just drunk
palladian - I just admit reality. The MSM threw the election to Obama. It's a coup de tat. I said that in morning.
Violins playing -
Biden is getting testy. Maybe he just realised he's not winning, but more importantly, Sarah Palin is not losing.
Biden mentions the sad death of his first wife. I hope Palin sympathises.
Barack has a record of "fundamental accomplishments?" Huh?
An Obama victory = Massive Israeli air strikes in Iran.
Cool!!!! But they will probably bomb sooner. I am surprised they haven't done it already. If that Iranian midget makes one more stupid comment, they may.
Sam Irvin, from NC, was the folksy blowhard klansman.
Like Bidens good friend Byrd.
Palin: Big trouble.
Please, the Crime Act of 1994 did not put 100,000 cops on the street.
Biden has serious truth issues.
What's he blabbering about now??
Joe is crying?
Axelrod astroturfer
Quite.
Ooh, Biden says he wrote VAWA and notes that McCain voted against it. Only in a liberal's mind could writing an unconstitutional piece of legislation -- so found (so far only in part) by the Supreme Court -- be a better recomendation than opposing that legislation.
I like that the resident lefties seem scared again.
The MSM threw the election to Obama.
Right, because the media's going to go vote for us. You must have a low opinion of the intelligence of Americans.
If McCain loses, it won't have anything to do with his running a crappy campaign, or following eight years of a god-awful Republican administration. It's the media's fault. This is the GOP version of of "they hacked the voting machines!"
Joe faked crying?
michael, seriously, lay off the *cid, dude, you are tripping balls
Biden mentions the sad death of his first wife.
He is pathetic. He has no integrity.
"He is the man we need to leave" ;)
A "Maverick" is a wild animal, cow or horse, which has not been branded.
Perhaps John McCain was a maverick once but he's got Bush's and hard right's brand on him now.
well it's not done yet, but I think Palin has done a better than solid job. I like her stage presence and her energy level is far higher than Biden's.
I don't think she has made any errors other than 2 small stumbles where she transposed "mainstreet" and "wall street" and one question where she repeated a talking point.
Mmm, I love the smell of fear!
My God, Beth and Simon, where the hellz were youse?
Did Joe Biden just say Article 1 of the Constitution deals with the executive branch?
WRONG!!!!
JOe sounds really grumpy and mean
Ifill spends one small part of a word trying to cut Biden off.
Joey Plugs is angry. Palin is controlling him. Meltdown alert.
Biden is competent but I'm sorry has weak stuff. Boy I wish I could see their faces.
Hmmm, where's the "trainwreck" that PinchingLoaf kept promising?
Palin: No substance
IFILL getting freaky about policy views.
Uh oh. Watch that blood pressure, Uncle Joe.
Biden clearly over ran his time limit and Gwen never calls him on it like she has with Gov. Palin.
Joe Biden wants to be on The View.
Five Minute warning
Did Biden get more time than Palin?
Yes, serious gaffe from Biden.
But that's just JOE for ya!
Palin: "John McCain has already tapped me."
The red blooded nation turns green with envy.
Michael is shitting his pants again. Tee hee.
Hmmm, where's the "trainwreck" that PinchingLoaf kept promising?
She brought her wrecking ball instead.
Maverick:
"an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother. "
Sorry, no horses.
Michael: Boring Douchebag
So are you on the Axelrod payroll?
No, he's not, Palladian. But he is a troll. Ultimately, trolls harm the side they're on by presenting it in the most obnoxious, least relevant terms possible, and perhaps you're noticing that for the first time from the conservative side.
Joe Biden represents Obama's first big decision and it was a bad decision.
V. Bella - yes, the difference is that Senator Sam had the good sense to die years ago, and stop burdening us with his "folksy" hatred and stupidity.
What will the MSM say?
She's going to wink again in 3-2-1.
I hope somebody is keeping track of how often Biden's been allowed to have the last word and how often Palin has.

9:25 PM
??!? huh
beth - shaddup already. You are part of the MSM attack machine.
I gave up watching these two crap sandwiches debate each other after an hour of bored disgust. I think we should all just follow the advice of all those celebrities in that video who said we shouldn't vote, cause they don't give a fuck and our votes don't mean shit anyway. Of course, I was so disgusted by watching that video (and grateful that I don't have fame and fortune if that's what it does to your soul) that I had to stop watching that too, so I may have missed any deeper meaning they might have been trying to push in the second half of their performance.
Palin is just so damn normal.
On TV it looks weird to be normal.
How many Republicans spoke at the DNC?
Haha, AlphaLiberal is in panic auto mode! No talking points have been issued yet so he has nothing to say. PRINT DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS [MAVERICK].
What controversial issues?
This is so strange. Gwen Ifill has inhabited the shell of Couric's Sarah Palin. She can't string two words together, and sounds fuzzy.
So...Biden takes credit for bipartisanship AND partisan judicial blocking. Nice.

"But he is a troll. Ultimately, trolls harm the side they're on by presenting it in the most obnoxious, least relevant terms possible, and perhaps you're noticing that for the first time from the conservative side."
Beth, trolls are trolls, left or right.
EDH: Article One of the United States Constitution describes the powers of the legislative branch of the United States government.
And that's exactly what he discussed.
That the V.P. is NOT governed by such...the the V.P. is part of the "executive branch."
She was first rate tonight in talking to the average person who decides elections.
cmon, media, dig up the biden-helms love child. brokeback hill, can you dig it.
Palin gets the last word first.
I know, Dody Jane, Ifill was disgraceful. Fire her, Lehrer!
Ifill let Biden open the debate and she's letting him close it.
Nice rebuttal by Palin about the media filter.
Well she really laid it out there on the media.
Brilliant! Let me talk with out EDITS
Proud to be an American!
oh, that's my girl, she likes unfiltered! I should send her a carton of Pall Mall.
AWESOME CLOSING POINTS BY PALIN. Woo!
Joe Biden's example of 'change' in Congress is one of the biggest problem most people have with the Democrats in Congress.
(...and by "most people," I do mean me.)
I hope Lehrer does fire her, but I can only hope.
Biden was holding back the tears.
If you've lost someone in the prime of their lives, you wouldn't be doubting how real that emotion was.
He's a doofus, but the guy lost a wife and kid, and almost another kid. You don't get completely over that, ever.
I am thinking of going to Ohio to vote a bazillion times.
Palin is TOAST.
No substance, talking points over and over again.
She's good at memorizing lines but she shows she doesn't really understand what she says.
Our "national security freedoms." What the hell does that mean?
I think Ifill did a lot better than you guys are giving her credit for. I'm surprised, actually.
WOW
I love her again
"....without the filter of the mainstream media."
Beautiful. An inoculation against the shit that will flow immediately following the debate.
Palin can reference President Reagan. Biden can't refer back to a democrat president.
He could mention Bill Clinton, but that would just piss off the PUMAs.
This is the most important election of your life?
Over the top!
Oh get off it already with the "last eight years" crap. Not all of us are depressed as you.
This debate really blew the doors of McCain on Iraq/Afghanistan. 3 weeks of Iraq spending = 7 years of Afghanistan spending. Wow.
Biden's closing remarks are directed to the Beltway denizens, the Madison coffeehouses, the Seattle quasi-intelligentsia.
Palin looked straight to the Heartland.
She just swung a couple of battlegrounds tonight.
Michael stepped through a wormhole and is in some weird other dimension. Maybe he'll be blown out as Hawking radiation. Dum Spero Spero.
May God bless Tiny Tim.
Alpha, Michael....please return to the children's table, finish your Cap'n Crunch and go to bed.
"Thank you, Gwen"
Gracious Palin.
Guen was the big looser!
He gets the last word...
Oh yeah, Sarah Palin is a bobblehead.
Like Nero Wolfe was a vegetarian.
I love that song,
"I get knocked down, But I get up again, You're never gonna keep me down."
repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat
repeat
Oh get off it already with the "last eight years" crap.
Ha-ha! Republicans wish we had instant amnesia.
First words out of Couric's mouth, "she did not embarrass herself or ..."
Why's her mic still live?
Brit Hume saying that Ifill was fair. MOOSECRAP.
John Stodder,
Oh Bull. It is called ACTING!.. He is looking for the sympathy. Sympathy is in the dictionary between shit and syphillis.
This was fun - she did just fine - you guys are fun - thanks for being here
Why's her mic still live?
Yes, and I'm sure Olbermann will loop her high-pitched comments.
OK, can some Palin fan please explain this:
Our "national security freedoms." What the hell does that mean?
500+ comments - holy wow

Bi... bidenpartisan
joy of being American
only one man in this race who has really fought
Oow bama
'preciate that
Blew the doors of - nice. But odd.
Brooks is giving her credit. "She didn't win the debate, but she held her own"
Chris Matthews going straight at Dick Cheney. That was a set-up, knock-down.
Why do we like Brooks again? Ah, yeah, we don't...
Palin won big time!
Who is this General McClellan Palin was talking about?
"She won, I think most people will say. Now, she's able to say she likes to do these unscripted things."
So does that mean that the patriarch of this "partnership" will now let the little lady speak at some press conferences...all by her little ole self...in the remaining weeks of the election??
"I love that song,
"I get knocked down, But I get up again, You're never gonna keep me down."
Too bad it was sung by commies.
Brooks is giving her credit. "She didn't win the debate, but she held her own"
Given that MSM and the Democrats out there thought this was going to be a tsunami-cum-earthquake of embarrassment for her, she won handily.
Held her own in silk underwear, that is. Biden did well not to overflow his Depends.
I missed the part where Biden snaps Palin in two like a toothpick, though. Maybe they will put it on youtube.
dody jane, *LOVE*!
Lil Liberal doesn't even know American history, hence the "liberal" tag. Go read some, door blower.
I'd like to do Palin, and Palladian would like to do Biden.
Our "national security freedoms." What the hell does that mean?
It means you are an asshole.
Ann,
you didn't comment on Biden's mislabeling of the purpose of Article 1? I thought he was a fellow Law School Prof?
"Why do we like Brooks again? Ah, yeah, we don't..."
We never liked him in the first place.
Good night Miss Dody.
So the talking points from the lefty blogs should be issued soon... expect a lefty onslaught within the quarter hour.
And good luck to 'em, they'll need it.
