Good debate. I would say she won on style points, Biden on substance.
I thought all of her "I'm a maverick", "I'm just like you & talkin' straight to the American people" would wear on people (like it did me), but I just saw a focus group where they were gushing about it. Go figure.
Still, she smashed expectations. Not that it mattered, but Biden was pretty spot on for the most part.
Well, if by style you mean she came off as very rehearsed, and very attractive looking, with a cute smile and a lot winken, then yes.
CNN had one of those meters, and they showed men vs women. Women didn't like her. They liked Biden.
She really didn't have either style or substance, but she exceeded her expecations by finishing the debate. She was more gimicky than even I had imagined she would be.
She's about as dangerous as I had taken her to be, before the disaster that was the Couric interview. She's certainly charming. She has no depth of knowledge. She comes across as a populist. And she's actually an ignorant person with an authoritarian personality.
And by the way, I just want to mention, Biden was fucking great. He really was. And when he had that moment, in response to her acting as if she was the only human being who had ever raised children, and he said that just because he was a man, it didn't mean he didn't know about raising children alone, and he choked up, he won women, period, but I think that is a moment that will also speak to many men, particularly those involved in, or who have been involved in, custody battles, which men often get the short end of the stick in, just because they're men. So I think that was a big moment emotionally, and of course, on the substance he smoked her, but more importantly, he gave one hell of a debate. He would have smoked anyone they put up there. That was a performance by Biden that smokes Romney, that smokes Rudy, you name the R that could have been there, Biden beats them.
He deserves some props for that I think.
Thanks!
