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!

Hmm, I think she’s trying to tout executive experience.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Biden should understand that company play games overseas because our tax rate is so high. That’s the tax rate she should emphasize. Consider a 10% corporate tax cut for the large corporations. They’ll be more inclined to stay on shore.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Yea!
Dritanian on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
morphing into one
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Sarah slowing down, and now doing better
slow down!
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
wow
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
I can’t watch tonight, but I take it from the comments Palin is holding her own?
BadgerHawk on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
i agree cokey.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
There ya go! GREAT answer.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Watch BadgerHawk all is going well.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
rescue plan has to include massive oversight–works for me
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Palin looks strong and confident and is speaking directly into the camera and it doesn’t look fake or forced.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I can’t. My cable went out. I’m relying on you guys.
BadgerHawk on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Biden: Talking to Gwen
Palin: Talking to America
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Yes she is. Very well, in fact. Biden’s just lying.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I’d say she’s doing that plus a little more. That part about Alaska was hard to watch because I feel like I’ve heard it before.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Biden is talking to Ifill, Sarah is talking to me.
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
joe on defensive again
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:25 PM
BadgerHawk on October 2, 2008 at 9:24 PM
She’s really winning. Decisively? No. But winning? yes.
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
omg please sara tell them it wasn’t a windfall profits tax.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I think Biden trimmed his mullet before tonite
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
does biden say anything that IS true?
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
In Cincinnati, we have a small company called Procter & Gamble. Stop dumping on large corporations.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I agree ctmom.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Fine, Joe. Get back and forth to Delaware on non-carbon based energy! Hypocrite!
joeinmo on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
No talk about how much $ it takes oil companies to make that $600 bil.
common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Biden to quick on the draw with some questions He had them ahead of time.
Bullhead on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
You guys are right, Biden looks in 10 different directions and keeps shifting in place. He might be uncomfortable.
jimmy the notable on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
Please mention Biden’s son, in this. Please
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Oh here we go…”windfall tax”…she is gonna…oh crap! She needs to go back to that!!!!
lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
What about the corruption in CONGRESS!!!!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
she does better when she looks at gwen than when she looks straight to the camera. she’s much more natural talking to gwen.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
I cannot stand to listen to Biden period. Keep telling me, how;s she doing? Has he blown it yet?
red131 on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
yes!! Fannie & Freddie
Bullhead on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM

ajmontana on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Turn on the radio.
It’s worth it.
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Come on hit Raines, Dodd, and Frank.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
She is taking someone’s advice on here…can’t remember…to just answer the question her way and IGNORE the moderator.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
she’s doing good
jp on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Why can’t she call out Democrats? One word: McCain UGGGGh
John Doe on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
You can hear Joe take a deep breath everytime she hits a nerve.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Damn it, say Democrats are to blame, stop saying “people’ and “colleagues” – this stinks.
dugan on October 2, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Glad to hear she’s doing well. I can’t watch the debates; I trust you guys for honest commentary, and then pick up the Fox All Stars at the end.
alflauren on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
She looks extremely competent and that’s all she needs to do in this debate.
CanadianGuy on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
“Mainstreeters like me.”
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Doesn’t she get to answer that one question?
Dritanian on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
mortgage lenders do pay the price.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
…neither one of ‘em are answering Ifill’s questions…she’s getting a bit huffy….
…screw that self-important, sold-out bee-hatch!
…Sarah’s comin’ into grove….
…Joe’s gettin’ antsy…stumbling…should prove interesting….
Puritan1648 on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Haha throw Barack America under the bus.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Obama pointed out nothing. Prove it.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Provide the letter, Joe.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Well, she is saying very little aimed at me, so I guess I’m not her audience tonight.
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
“he said quote, I’m paraphrasing” lol
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
mccain manned up in 2005
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Can anyone fact check this claim of Barry sounding the alarm?
common sensineer on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Barockonama!
anniekc on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
adjust the freaking principal. What?
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
how can you allow a court to adjust principal? that is insane!!!!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
It’s over. She needed to go in for the kill. She didn’t.
It’s over.
thareb on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
speculation
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
There’s noway in hell Obambi said anything about the sub-prime crisis two years ago.
techno_barbarian on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
How could he be surprised when he warned about it? I think he is taking Johny out of context…
lsutiger on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Please mention McCain’s 2005 warning. Please.
Weight of Glory on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Come on hit Raines, Dodd, and Frank.
YES!!!!!
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I want proof of Obama coming out with a warning in 2006 against subprime mortgages.
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
adjust the principle that you owe? How does that work?
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Is anyone else falling asleep when Biden talks?
El_Terrible on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Blame Frank and Dodd.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
deadbeats should not get support.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I wish she’d bash the Dems half as much as she does Wall Street. That line is getting tired.
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
wooh energy!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Damn I wish I had bought a 350,000 dollar house and the court adjust it to 100,000 and drop my rate a few points.
SCGOPgirl on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Sarah does a great job of talking right into the camera.
Its a little awkward for her, and plugs, because they are not defending themselves, they are defending the tops of their respective tickets.
I want to hear more of what Sarah wants to do, but that is not her mission this year. 2012
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
She is completely ignoring Ifill…lmao.
SouthernGent on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Was Nobama in the senate in 05?
InTheBellyoftheBeast on October 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM
talk about drilling! yeah here she goes.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Talk about the jobs associated with energy. Go.
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
she’s taking notes, not reading from a script
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
say it’s a national security issue. talk about the jobs!
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Here we go! Drill Drill Drill!
EnglishMike on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Slow to get this answer out of her mouth…
Static21 on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
hit him with the pipeline.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
I owe 200K on my house. Will Biden reduce that to 100K for me? Cool!
CookeyD on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
errrrrrrrrrr
Calm Before the Storm on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Oooh! Pure D socialism!!!! Our liberal courts will decide how much we owe….Question one in the interview….Who did you vote for last election? What color is your skin?
Jeez what pandering.
joeinmo on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
WHY is she not answering any of the questions? Or responding to anything he says?
Ugh. I wish the McCain camp would let Sarah be Sarah.
Jewels on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
she must have been coached to make this whole debate about energy. yes, that’s where she is strong but she should answer every question that way.
unmeritedfavor on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
back to Energy Independence
jp on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
What are they saying in the strategy room? I can’t get it to load on my ‘puter.
dmarie on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
East coast politicians who don’t allow states like alaska to do what they can do–great
She is STRONG on energy; why doesn’t the MAC campagn take advantage of this??
james23 on October 2, 2008 at 9:30 PM
BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:26 PM
I lived in Mason for 6 years. Neighbors on the left, right, front and back worked at P&G.
ctmom on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
I love when they show Obama’s smirking face.
Ughhhh……climate change.
ikez78 on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
climate change is an energy issue? get real gwen.
anna on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Boom-Boom CLAP!
Boom-Boom CLAP!
CurtZHP on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM

BuckeyeSam on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Yes!!!!
carbon_footprint on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
she would know better than any other governor.
madmonkphotog on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
She did at the top.
Just go the bank with some whiteout. Under Obama’s plan, it’ll be that easy. Is whiteout racist?
Spirit of 1776 on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Odopey taught acorn zombies how to get sub prime mortages. geeze, his minions lead the pack.
ajmontana on October 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Joe thinks he’s got something. You can always tell by that smarmy smile.
