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!

thank you sara, there you go

ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

the “middle class” is the new “poor” for the Dems. I can’t stand it.

Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

She’s going after the “patriotic” line. Haha!!

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

“I’m just going to stare her down- make her realize my superiority”

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

bwahaha. she’s coaching him on the definition of patriotic.

anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

10/10 for that one Sarah!

carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Thank you! for making that point about small bizness.

Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

wooo hoooo yaaaaaaa

ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Reagan quote!!!!!

common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Allah…you can open the door to bathroom. Heck…I say you can actually come out.

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

She’s kicking ass.

CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Alright, Ifill isn’t going to play this fair, not that I thought she would, but cutting off answers? Sarah should have said, “Im not finished!”

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

get your hair out of your eyes!

unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

Sarah, if Gwen gets out of hand, drop the book bomb, and don’t apologize.

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM

good line

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

i must say mccain’s health deal sucks. taxing employer provided benefits?

anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

yes, a Reagan reference

jp on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

wow, she’s getting it going now

ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

BUT, JOE…
who the h*** is gonna pay for all these wonderful programs? You can insist that you’re not gonna raise taxes – you can call them something else – but, big government costs money, and money comes from taxes, and you and your boss are full of sh** if you say otherwise.

uncivilized on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Z’OMG…she’s on fiyah right now.

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Nice shot at feds on health care.

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

I hope she can keep it up; she’s strong tonite. I know Joe thought she’d cower in his magnificent intellect.

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

I’m tingling.

infidel on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Scranton! Drink.

carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Scranton!

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Shes talking to me, Biden is talking to Gwen.

Gold.

Bishop on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Heh…teh Palin is shackled by the chains of bipartisan cooperation. Maverick!

ManlyRash on October 2, 2008 at 9:19 PM

Of course you don’t call it redistribution. Liberals have to lie.

Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

2 on 1, SArah can take them both. Anyone else want to jump in, she’ll kick their butts too

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Pff he’s saying Scranton is his neighborhood.

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

stop saying you’re from scranton!

anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Call him on the oil tax cut. That is untrue

church on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Scranton–DRINK

common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

“My Scranton neighborhood” what? when you were nine?

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Scranton! Drink!

‘Fairness’. Bullsh*t!

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

his plugz are sweating…

Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Joe is on the defensive–advantage sarah

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Joe is messing up!

carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Hey y’all, i’m in class, this is driving me crazy that i can’t watch…but i have to know…somebody give me real time “Palin smackdown” or “Biden smackdown” i have to be preapred for what I watch after I get home and check it out on the dvr…

JustTruth101 on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Where is Biden getting this 95 per cent of small businesses earn less than $250,000 a year? That can’t be right.

CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

GAFFE NUMBER 1: YOU KNOW HOW BARACK OBAMA…SCUSE ME JOHN MCCAIN

jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Stop with Scranton already.

jencab on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

If I was 30 years younger and met joe in a bar, I’d kick his ass just for giving me that smart ass look . . . hell, I’d probably even give it a try at 71.

rplat on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Oh god, Biden is KILLING her.

muyoso on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

Biden’s doing well considering he’s defending the indefensible

EricPWJohnson on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Uncle Joe’s getting flustered. Uh, Uncle joe, not everyone out “there” has a health plan, dipstick,

anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

the health care answers are a blur–way too technical and way too fast

james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Honestly, I’m willing to pay taxes on my employer health care if it means I won’t be stuck with government run health care.

CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

OMFG, its over, Biden won. Bridge ro nowhere.

muyoso on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Sarah–Ask him to swear that he’ll resign if there’s a tax increase on people earning less than $200,000…

richardj on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Oh god, Biden is KILLING her.

muyoso on October 2, 2008 at 9:20 PM

You must be watching a bizarro version.

carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Oh god, Biden is KILLING her.

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

This is great. Unlike last weeks debate, we don’t have to wait for the Repub to warm up.

Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:22 PM

SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:22 PM

lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 9:22 PM

Honestly, I’m willing to pay taxes on my employer health care if it means I won’t be stuck with government run health care.

CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:22 PM

Our education system is producing mostly just more leftist idiots.

techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:22 PM
