These aren't debates, not by a long shot. They're monitored campaign speeches.<BR/><BR/>As someone who has judged debates at our local high school, I can tell you that the candidates know nothing about official debating.<BR/><BR/>Besides the folksy persona Palin employs, what also bugs me is the way she uses her voice, period. Her inflection -- moving from empowered to the faux sincere soft tone -- is exactly how all the women I grew up hearing in Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting use their voices.<BR/><BR/>This is a farce on a global scale and I've never been more embarrassed to be an American.Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-70655069513460409632008-10-03T12:14:00.000-04:002008-10-03T12:14:00.000-04:00Michelle - was that a direct transcript? :)Slyde -...Michelle - was that a direct transcript? :)<BR/><BR/>Slyde - that's why they settled on this format, so she wouldn't be directly confronted on the, ya know, issues.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-1357985436574498492008-10-03T11:32:00.000-04:002008-10-03T11:32:00.000-04:00wait till you watch it a THIRD time... you'll want...wait till you watch it a THIRD time... you'll want to slap her upside the head.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, i thought biden crushed her. I wish either he or the moderator would have taken her to task on a few statements after they got refuted by biden, like her ridiculous $5,000 gift so people could get their own health insurance?<BR/><BR/>Where does SHE live that she can get health insurance for her family for 5k a year, the outback? When Biden told her that it will cost the average family 12k a year for health care, Palin was not taken to task on it and they moved on.<BR/><BR/>The same scenario played out at least 3 other times... it was getting me mad.<BR/><BR/>And if she calls herself a maverick one more time i may have to put my fist thru the screen.Slydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170343849186268727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-21449003899064246612008-10-03T11:31:00.000-04:002008-10-03T11:31:00.000-04:00b.e. you are probably going to hate me big time fo...b.e. you are probably going to hate me big time for saying this but i thought Palin wasn't all that bad!
