The Veep Debate

I didn't see it, I was at a C.E.R.T. class.  And anyway, it seems that historically Vice Presidential Debates Rarely Influence Voters.

 Whatever. But I did enjoy reading this:

Who knows what the MSM will say tomorrow. I suppose we shall see.

No photoshop here; the real Joe Biden at work

Biden Dorks Out

Vice President Joe Biden appears to temporarily lose his mind during President Obama's jobs speech on 9-8-11. This is not an altered photo. Absolutely no Photoshop tricks. Evidently the vice president had a bad case of dry mouth and was using his tongue to try and lubricate his lips. It only lasted a couple of seconds, but thanks to my DVR, I was able to freeze-frame the image for a photo.

Isn't technology wonderful.

Joe Biden's many... "errors" in the debate

Some people might call them "lies" rather than "errors", but I'll be charitable. But should I be? What he said about McCain's plans for health care couldn't have been farther from the truth. Ditto much else he said.

Sarah did pretty good, but I would have liked to see her tackle some of those questions more directly. Many on the Republican side are claiming she beat Joe Biden. I would say so, but I doubt anyone with strong partisan opinions was swayed from what they already believed. It will be interesting to hear how the swing voters see it.

"Hope and Change" thrown under the bus?

It must be getting pretty crowded under there. From Tammy Bruce:


For Barry, "Hope" and "Change" Do Not Spring Eternal

From the various coverage of Barry's choice of Joe for a running mate, The AP offers a startling frank assessment of the Biden pick, noting correctly that it illustrates a serious lack of confidence on Obama's part, but also reveals, albeit briefly, how the Messiah's campaign message was just temporary, now boring, sloganny rhetoric. [...]

After talking about change, he picks the "ultimate insider", and some of the stuff coming out of the Obama campaign now... well read the rest. It looks like he'll say or do anything to win. Do we really know what he stands for, beyond that?

The McCain campaign was ready, with this 32 second gem:



No doubt Biden will say he changed his mind, on all counts. I mean really, what else CAN he say?

Obama really could have made a better choice. In a way I'm glad he made a poor choice, but if they win, Yikes... double trouble. I'm really hoping the swing voters see it that way.
