Det. Bart Lasiter Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I prefer the idea of a cage match. Palin versus Biden, no holds barred. Winner takes the VP seat. The only downside is, if we threw McCain and Obama into the ring, Obama probably wouldn't fight, and McCain would have a heart attack before three minutes are up.Barack "Badass" Obama wouldn't fight? I agree McCain would have a heart attack. For the VP cage match I think Palin would win though. Biden is old like McCain and if your fighting someone with high heals, ouch, plus the phrase "hell have no furry like a woman scorned". Not to mention she hunts moose and did those snow machine races in such cold temperatures .Why are you impressed by her ability to sit in the cold and be scorned?

SD Nihil Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Barack "Badass" Obama wouldn't fight? Why are you impressed by her ability to sit in the cold and be scorned? Because the cold temperature makes you have to adapt to harsh conditions. And scorned meaning the anger factor. I forgot to mention Biden being a human Gaffai and saying stuff I think his bark would be worse than his bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk102 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 It doesn't matter that you don't think her conflict of interest will effect her during the debate. She has a conflict of interest, she should recuse herself. It's common courtesy. Explain. What is the conflict of interest? Her book will make money regardless. Debates are going on at the moment. Have you seen bias? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinthian Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 She's got a vested personal interest in seeing Obama take the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 How? She has a personal opinion about Obama but who doesn't? The claim is that she won't make any money if Obama isn't president. That's BS. There's about 50% of the population that agree with her and probably about 1% of that population that will buy her book. That's not going to change much whether Obama is elected or not.

Samuel Dravis Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Neither McCain nor Palin have disagreed with the moderator choice, even though informed of this "conflict of interest" - which apparently isn't much of one if they were okay with her. I don't see a problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD Nihil Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 People think the VP debate moderator has a vested interest in Obama winning because of her book, the age of Obama. Anyway that's part of the name. It's set to go on sale on the day the new president is sworn into office. Age of Obma implies to me that she wants him to win. It won't be an age of Obama if he loses. So if he wins (Obama) she is in the position to make money on her book. If McCain wins she won't make as much I think. But I think the problem people have with the moderator is they felt because she's doing this book that she might be biased and unfair to Palin or make her answer an un fair question or something. I'm watching the debate right now and the moderator has not been biased. So now that I'm watching the moderator and she's been fair. So I feel at this point the book the VP moderator is working on is a mute point now. People felt because she's doing a book she'll be unfair. She hasn't. I don't think in the coming days in the news it will even be a topic high on the scale. 30minutes left over here until the debate is over and I've yet to see unfairness with the VP mod. Let me just also add anyone can make a book and in the US persue their desire to make money. I'd expect if it was a conservative moderator of a political debate to also be un biased and not be un fair to the democrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ok, my take on it. There was a very subliminal bias evident, but only in the order and types of the questions. I doubt it was intentional though(and it may have been my own preconcieved notions inferring bias). They are the questions on most people's minds. They spent a lot of time talking about Iraq, and of course the economic meltdown. But to ignore these would have left a lot of people with an urge to kick in their TV's. Palin kinda surprised me in some of her strengths. She came off as intelligent, and very down home. I think she was strongest on global warming(which kinda shocked me). I like how she said that while global warming is real(which it is) she also said that it wasn't entirely man made(which it isn't). Biden seemed to be pandering to the greenieweenies saying it IS man made(which it is not, at least not entirely). Strangely enough it made her come off as more knowledgable about global warming than biden(well she should know... since the eskimos in her state have had to move further inland because of the melting ice sheets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Problem is you don't potentially stand to make millions of dollars over this, she does. So how do you feel now that the debate is over and there was no bias, Mr. Republican Man? _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Posts regarding the Palin-Biden debate itself rather than moderator bias (or lack thereof in this case. ) were moved to the US Presidential debates thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarfieldJL Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 So how do you feel now that the debate is over and there was no bias, Mr. Republican Man? _EW_ Funny, cause I noticed there was some bias in the debate by the moderator, I also noticed some hand signals given by Biden to the moderator to cut Governor Palin off, and the moderator did. Further hand signals to give him extra rebuttals which the moderator gave him. That's bias putting it mildly, and the concept that one has no bias when their book is about an Obama Presidency isn't very believable. @ Jae Onasi I must respectfully disagree with your stance of the moderator being unbiased.
