She won
My kid, a young female grew up in silicon valley and attended college in SoCal, came up to me during the debate (she did not watch, but stayed in the hearing vicinty), and proclaimed, “She won.”
“How can you possibly make that call?” “Easy,” she replied cooly. “She is pretty. He is old. She is eloquent and stayed on point. He kept on rebutting her points. Americans will declare her vice presidential now.”
For those who expected Sarah Palin to make a fool of herself, she did not. In fact, she at least equaled Joe Biden. In the measure of result to expectation ratio, yes, she won.
Edit, 10/3: The source protested for this article. Read her comment.
excuse me? you can’t make up quotes like that, or if you’re going to paraphrase things, you should not put them in quotation marks; it’s sort of immoral (in the publishing world)
i didn’t say ’she won’ i said ‘of course she’ll win’
and i didn’t mean in regards to the vice presidential role; i said it in response to you saying ’sarah palin is winning (because she hasn’t made a fool of herself)’ and you said yourself that your definition of ‘winning’ is different from the average person
i didn’t say that biden was old, i said he wasn’t attractive
i didn’t say anything about palin’s debating skills, i only said that if they ask her about abortion then she might lose (make a fool of herself)
i thought biden did better than palin, but she wasn’t bad. she hardly answered the questions of the moderator, and strayed off topic a lot. i thought the presidential debate was better…
she won. in this case the “she” is meri :-).
