Palin needs to never speak again. Or at least learn how to talk without saying "Gosh darn it" and all other things of that nature. OMFG that got annoying. And to be bipartisan (ahahaha), Biden also annoyed me with his numbering.

However, Joe Biden is my hero for calling them out on the maverick thing. Also, I hope people realize how many questions Palin dodged and/or ignored. It felt to me like she'd been taught the talking points and didn't know what to do beyond them, so she always had to bring things back to what she knew.

I think Biden won, but Palin didn't do as badly as I was hoping she would.

But in other political news, I now have a paid internship to work for a local candidate, and for Obama here. They want me ten hours a week until the election, and for that I'll get $300, which is pretty damn good--and if I want to work more hours, I'll get compensated for those, too. Good deal! I'll of course be doorbelling and phone banking and just getting out the vote, which is not my favorite thing, but it's what needs to be done, so I'm fine with doing it.

But yes. I'm very pleased. I can make some money and be politically active, which is great. :D

Now I have to do some homework, which is not so great, but I'm going to start on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to that.

Pretty much exactly how I read it.

Yeah. I was hoping she'd make some good gaffes, but at least Biden did quite well.

Let's hang out sometime this weekend!

She (Palin) really represents all that is wrong with this country.
I will admit she was well prepped but in all honesty the format of the debate made it easy for her.

Yeah, I wish she could have been more directly challenged, but at least it's the VP debate and people are more likely to make decisions based on Obama/McCain than Biden/Palin.

I tend to stay away from debates and such because I get riled up way too easily and I don't have anybody to vent with lol

Oh, and I've seen similar jobs around here, is it $300 for the whole thing or per week? *desperate penniless student ^^'*

For the whole thing. :p Political campaigns probably can't afford to pay much more to just internts.

XD I noticed Biden's numbering. I was like, "Damn, this man must have outlines in his head or something."

There were so many times I groaned, snorted, laughed, etc. because of just how ridiculous the folksy act was getting. SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE. ohhh gawwwd kill me

Palin is definitely an expert at avoiding the questions. I'm not going to deny that all politicians do it, but damn. It was getting horribly obvious. I wish Gwen would've called her out on it more, though she did a couple times.

Good luck with the internship thing. ♥ They're offering a lot of jobs around here for political stuff lately, too. I'm considering!

The folksy act was driving me CRAZY. Part of me wants her to lose just so that I never have to hear her speak again. XD

Oh, but Palin is so folksy and "just like us!" *gag* I don't want someone "just like me" to be President or VP. I want someone better.

Congratulations on the internship!

Thanks!

Yes. I want someone who knows what to do better than I do. After the mess that's happened with the last person elected who was "just like us", I can't believe people want more of that.
