Someone said she sounded intelligent! Ha! Hardly impartial as it's on Fox but anyhoo..

This aspect of the debates astounds me. How can anybody see what happened last night as anything other than a seasoned, well informed professional politician giving a newbie a metaphorical kicking?

It seems that many people consider these things a draw so long as both debators manage to speak in complete sentances most of the time.

I was definitely unnerved and asking myself if she was trying to flirt w/me (i.e. the american public)

Yeah unfortunately I'm sure most people will find her schtick appealing. That was how she won the governorship in AK. She didn't know any facts on the issues there either but she was just so darn cute that aww shucks she just had to be the governor for sure you betcha!

That's exactly it. People don't listen to the words or content that is being said. They look at the demeanor of the person and sees which one smiled the most, etc (it has been said that people who had listened to the JFK/Nixon debate on the radio had percieved Nixon as the winner; whereas, those who watched it on television felt that it was JFK b/c he looked calm and collective while Nixon was sweating like crazy). What can you do?? We did end up with Bush being a 2-term president.


EDITED:

Also did you notice her fear and awe tactic by throwing in the idea of a possible 2nd holocaust happening? Talk about bat-shit crazy. It saddens me that people might think that argument makes sense.

Did you not hear what Mahmoud himself said. The guy is Hitler from Iran. They can have technology ready for a nuke by the middle of the next decade. He can't stand Jews and is pissed they have their own country for the first time in history. This shit has nothing to to with Obama or McCain. He said the Holocaust didn't happen. Wake up.
Here is an excerpt from an article May 8, 2008:

TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday called Israel a "stinking corpse" which is doomed to disappear as the Jewish state celebrated its 60th anniversary.
"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
"Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation," he said.
Ahmadinejad added that Israel "has reached the end like a dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese" -- a reference to the July-August 2006 war between Israel and the Shiite Hezbollah militia.
Iran does not recognise the Jewish state, and since becoming president in 2005 Ahmadinejad has repeatedly provoked international outrage by predicting that Israel is doomed to disappear.
He has also caused controversy by playing down the scale of the Holocaust.

I'm a registered independent. I noticed you like Ron Paul. I wish it were so, but it isn't. So, when I look at the two choices, I see socialism (Obama) and I see washed out conservative who bounces around on issues (McCain). I'll take the lesser of the two evils here.
