Biden was genuine. Palin was phony.

[suffragette]

When Biden raised issues, he spoke about them ably and passionately. You could tell how much he really cares about this nation and the people that inhabit it.
Palin looked and sounded like an infomercial, as false and insincere as someone trying to selling the newest gizmo.

[Muttocracy]

1. he sounded like a statesman, she sounded like a politician. nt

[SharonAnn]

14. She was incredibly patronizing. Unbelievable!

[Aristus]

23. Shit! She sounded like Ron Popeil!

You know, that greasy-looking guy in the infomercials? The one with the toupe that looks like dogshit? Same basic thing, too. Ron Popeil's gadgets work, after a fashion, but are essentially useless. Come on; have you every REALLY needed to scramble an egg while it was still in the shell?

That's what McSame and Failin' are offering. Shiny, glittery gadgets that cost money, but don't really accomplish anything...

[K8-EEE]

2. Why is it that if GOP candidates keep standing upright it's considered "exceeding expectations"

Reminds me of taking my dog to obedience school....she got 5 points for "not soiling the ring"

[stray cat]

3. Biden showed humanity and depth, Palin was a folksy, shallow, scripted characterture

[suffragette]

7. Exactly. I was in tears when Biden choked up while talking about his

children and infuriated when Palin didn't even acknowledge that, but just launched right back into parroting the talking points she so clearly memorized.

[vanlassie]

4. Low Information voters are tone deaf to these things however... sigh.

[Union Thug]

5. Maddow hit the nail on the head, saying that it felt as though

Palin was playing a character role. She was gimmicky and insincere.

[suffragette]

11. Isn't it great having Maddow right after debates?

She hit that nail and drove it in!

[Union Thug]

18. She's a blessing. Too bad Pat B. is sitting next to her... blah.

[WA98296]

6. What I noticed the most, her arrogant cocky, fake folksy style. Too, too much.

[bdamomma]

16. hopefully more people picked up on her demeanor.

she was full of talking points.

[TK421]

8. I was waiting for her to say " And check out the amazing Ab-Blaster"!!!!

Tighter, firmer abs in less than ten days!!!!!

PHONY ASSHOLE

[bluethruandthru]

9. Infomercial is exactly right!

She thinks she's a spokesmodel!

[Quantess]

10. Phony is the word.

She's calculating, I will credit her that. I'm sure freeps loved her performance, there's our pitbull in lipstick!

Biden was Biden, good as ever. He really got some punches in.

[Gregorian]

12. McCain will get a bump in the polls tomorrow.

But if there is a god...

[Wiley50]

13. Gov Sara(n) Plastic n/t

[bdamomma]

15. she was clearly coached. I do not like her at all.

annoying voice, she made up her own rules.

[suffragette]

20. Made up her own rules and her own questions.

Then did a rat-tat-tat of talking points in answering herself.

Disgusting.

[ThatsMyBarack]

17. Biden was ON FIRE!

:patriot:

[vanderBeth]

19. Call me Holden Caulfield

but I hate phonies.

[Kablooie]

21. Biden talked. Palin recited.

[jayfish]

22. Sorry But I Disagree. She Was Genuine.

Genuinely vapid.
