Calimari, I think as you said previously, we are all going to see what happened, what they said, what they did as our point of view leads us. Just like after tonight's debate, we'll all be back giving our opinions of how things went and our biased views will most definitely lead us to our very differing conclusions!

Heh, yeah "experience" has really helped us along so far. Let's see Cheney and Rumsfeld, both experienced men got us into Iraq and screwed it up. Greenspan, an "experienced" economist has done a bang up job on the economy. "Experience" seems way over rated to me. I think I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who manages to have a surplus in her state budget. Oh and I do believe that living next door to a country does tend to give people a better perspective and would make a leader pay careful attention to what goes on in those countries(at least an intelligent one would). I am downright tired of people talking down to her. She has MORE executive experience then the guy at the TOP of the Democratic ticket(seems like Joe would be used to dealing with "inexperience").

Once again, her book is not ABOUT Obama. Do a quick google search on it. She hasn't even written the chapter on Obama yet. It also talks about Condi Rice, Colin Powell, MLK - but the right just says it's a book ABOUT Obama. More misinformation.

I find this argument quite amusing. You like Palin because of her lack of experience, yet in the next sentence says she has more experience than Obama. There is no one in the world who can convince me she has more experience than Obama. Being mayor of a town smaller than my high school is NOT the equivalent of 2 terms in the Illinois state legislature. And I've been asking people for weeks to give me what the definition of "executive experience" is, and no one has....

Find it amusing all you like. The comment made was that "poor Joe" shouldn't have had to share a stage wikth someone lacking experience. Guess what? He shares a TICKET with someone lacking experience. If you aren't certain what executive experioence is perhaps you can contact your local mayor, governor, or President Bush. The legislative branch is different than the executive. The decision making process in the legislative branch is much more collective(which is why Barack Obama was able to put his name on lots of OTHER peoples ideas and legislation. Hey, the guy who "created" him even bragged about "creating" him a US Senator. you just can't make this stuff up).

I'm sure it is NOT the equivalent of two terms in the Illinois Senate. Particularly since Sarah Palin had to make the decisions and take the responsibility of those decisions. At the very least she didn't have a bunch of people she could "crib" legislation from.

Hmmmmmmm what was the book called again? I'm sure an author whose book basically has Obama(and his politics) in the title is going to be unbiased and could absolutely care less whether he wins or not. LOL. I used to think Hannity and his ilk could spin. This cycle has been an eye opener because the LEFT seems to have it down pretty well too. Pity that.

Well I will give her credit for not asking what their favorite gemstone or whether or not they saw a UFO. Other than that I don't think the debate forum has been particularly helpful. Then again, I prefer to read about the candidates because I believe media does have bias and I prefer to form my own opinions.

What do you read about them that isn't from the media?

Don't they ever have their own bias? It's never more evident than during election time. They promote who they want to win and tear down who they want to lose. And so many voters in America will go on what they see in the news rather than reading up on the candidates and what they have done and want to do. Such a shame!
