Open thread: Armageddon
posted at 8:27 pm on October 2, 2008 by Allahpundit
A few people have e-mailed to say that the livestream in Ed’s open thread complicates comment discussion by slowing refresh times, so here’s a no-frills alternative. Take your pick.
While we wait for the main event, “enjoy” the last installment in her series with Couric. They saved a doozy for the finale.
Game face!

Joe looked like he visited Pelosi’s plastics dr. Someone should tell him that Preperation H can also be used on the bags under your eyes.

She did alright, no she did well and i’m proud of her…You guys thought McCain won his debate to and you proved to be out of touch. This might help her for 2012, but this election is over.
TIM PAWLENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it ain’t over you fool… go back to kos!

It’s too late for that kind of thinking. Unless of course you want an Oslime-a presidency. And if’s that is the case, just go vote Oslime-a or stay home.
csdeven on October 3, 2008 at 7:53 AM
Did anyone hear Sarah ask Biden if she could call him Joe? We assumed it was because Oslime-a used McCain’s first name and it came across as disrespectful?
Then a ways into the debate she says..
“Say it ain’t so, Joe”.
She had that one liner cued up and ready to skewer him with it. Imagine how that would have come across had she NOT asked his permission?
Liberals are soooooooo easy to bait.
csdeven on October 3, 2008 at 8:00 AM
I’m not from frigging Kos…I just can see the truth…It hurts but it doesn’t make it any less true. McCain will not win.
tomas on October 3, 2008 at 8:02 AM
I asked this on another thread, but did anyone see after the debate on Cspan, Biden stroking Palins arm and saying something to her that took her smile off her face? I wonder what he said. The mikes were down.

Friend,
You had better hope you’re wrong. Because mark my words, if you liberals get lucky enough to where that economic crisis that you’ve forged to get the one guy that would have otherwise NEVER gotten elected in office, after 4 years of liberalism, socialism, and oppression, it will be a cold day in hell before you people so much as touch a public office.
And furthermore, the election of Obama will disgust the American people that putting a true conservative on the top of the ticket will be easy. We won’t even have to play it safe.
It’s that simple.
leetpriest on October 3, 2008 at 8:10 AM
Be afraid, tomas. Be very afraid. When you wake up Nov. 5th the Dems will be asking President McCain for a bailout ;oP
NightmareOnKStreet on October 3, 2008 at 8:10 AM
McCain has a chance at winning. The poll weighting has been changed in the past week to favor democrats, the Battleground poll has 60% of the country identifying themselves as ‘conservative’ and we must not forget ‘the Bradley effect’. If you want to believe this is over, go cry in your milk!
red131 on October 3, 2008 at 8:12 AM
You must have missed Biden’s several OUTRIGHT WHOPPERS that he told. That’s okay, you can join the sheeple and watch the MSM gloss over the “factual misrepresentations.”
Fact is, Palin kicked the living sh## out of Biden.
fossten on October 3, 2008 at 8:16 AM
I sure hope McCain doesn’t drop the ball that Gov. Palin put back in play. McCain needs to hit Obama where it hurts ie. “as we all know I like to reach across the aisle. Sen. Obama is too far to my left for me to reach.”
drewmesq on October 3, 2008 at 8:45 AM
Trying to be realistic when you’re obviously an Obambutt is an exercise in futility.
AubieJon on October 3, 2008 at 8:59 AM
Sarah clearly won and I wish there were more like her in DC. If there were we might not be in the mess we’re in financially. Biden was OK, but really more same ole, same ole. I have been anti-GOP since the financial debacle, but this gal makes me think twice. I’d like to see her combination of common sense and charm in the Senate. As the old song says”can’t have one without the other”. I’m now firmly in the ranks of undecided voter and will most likely stay there until the financial mess is settled.

Dallas Texas, Oct. 3, 2008
Sarah Palin after the debate is in Dallas at a hotel down town Dallas area.
Breakfast talk to local Dallas area Hispanic leaders etal.
Lunch fund raise for RNC, big wig money R’s
The important thing is, has or will McCain push her to pander to the Hispanics and will she do it.
McCain has to understand Americans now.
Wachovia is broke, they are the lender for Horton Homes LLC
the largest home builder in America and he got there by using huge, huge amounts of illegal wage slaves , this lowered the cost of the homes by a large amount, that in turn forced the existing homes to match his new much lower price.
Now both his sales and existing home prices are falling, the loans are going bad, (some yes fake ID illegals buying) and his bank Wachovia is being taken over by Wells Fargo,
and the BAIL OUT IN CONGRESS will be in part to bail out Horton Homes LLC bad development lonas, construction loans, and the loans his captive mortgage company that sold loans to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
develope that America
badtothebone on October 3, 2008 at 10:18 AM
The simple reason I think Palin won is that she remained steadfast in her emotions all night. Biden, on the other hand, ran the full spectrum of emotions. He went from stoic, to concerned to angry to laughing and almost crying. She was more stable emotionally, by a wide margin.
MarkABinVA on October 3, 2008 at 11:00 AM
SO TRUE!
People that get their talking points & facts emailed to them or from a campaign website would never have picked up on Biden’s whoppers. Those of us following Biden/Obama etc for the last several years, watching their responses in their own words in vids etc.. know what in the hell is real & what is not.
Unfortunately, Biden being the polished public speaking lawyer he is probably fooled a lot of morons. These people wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them in the a$$.
Badger40 on October 3, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Hey, but that’s what representative government is all about, according to certain self-referential beta-male bloggers.
Jaibones on October 3, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Sorry, Tomas. As much as I like to think I’m playing on principle, the reality is that if McCain had picked Pawlenty, this race really would be over.
Palin gave him a second life, and maybe a third.
Jaibones on October 3, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Second fer sure. Third is up to McCain, and I’m confident he will blow it, as he keeps doing.

I noticed that too. My take on it is that they were discussing their 2 sons that are in harm’s way in the war on terror. Just my guess, for what it’s worth.
Mulligan on October 3, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Let’s wait for the after-debate polls. At least, the momentum must have swung back to Mccain’s camp and Mccain must know that he has no chance of winning this thing if we wont conenct the Dems with the subprime debacle. For somebody who wears his patriotism so well, he would really let down the country and the world if lets that communist sneak into the white house.
