Top 10 Comments on the VP Debate

Top 10 Things said by women political bloggers about the debate:

1.  "The Vice President should have more authority over the Senate if the Constitution would allow it."  Gov. Palin.

So the woman who can't name a case other than Roe v. Wade is now a Constitutional authority?? (from pundit mom)

2. Palin also appeared too cutesy by half. If you watched any of her Alaskan debates online, where she appeared sober and adult, then last night's winking and "gosh darn it, Joe" was revealed for what it was--an attempt to win on moxie and charm, not substance.
(thanks to What Tami Said)

3. After Thursday night, the only thing Palin proved herself good enough for is starring in her own reality show.  (thank you Arianna)

4. Forget the tight stripper skirt, forget the metallic eyeshadow inappropriate for anyone over the age of 40, forget the cloying sitcom delivery, the lies, the cruel and calculated needling of Biden by calling his college professor wife a "school teacher" and saying "she'll get her reward in Heaven" (to a man whose first wife died in a car accident) -- she's an idiot.  (thank you Jane Hamsher)

5. Sarah Palin is a character out of Lewis Carroll. No one can translate that smile. She's the Cheshire Cat.  (thank you Erica Jong )

6. she's getting points for not being terrible and making huge mistakes. That's like congratulating a perfectly healthy person for breathing. She shouldn't get points for that! She's not running for senior class VP - this is the United States presidential election! (thank you smartnow.com

7. We cannot recall when there were lower expectations for a candidate than the ones that preceded Sarah Palin's appearance in Thursday night's vice-presidential debate with Joseph Biden. After a series of stumbling interviews that raised serious doubts even among conservatives about her fitness to serve as vice president, Ms. Palin had to do little more than say one or two sensible things and avoid an election-defining gaffe. By that standard, but only by that standard, the governor of Alaska did well. (thank you NYT)

8. Watching the debate I kept wondering what transgression Joe Biden had commited requiring him to debate Barbie for 90 minutes.  (thank you Lisa s, Wynnewood PA

9. As striking as the contrast was, it was telling that Biden - unlike McCain, in his debate with Barack Obama - never felt compelled to deride his debate opponent as inexperienced or naive or reckless. It wasn't necessary. Americans could see the difference for themselves. (thank you SF Chronicle)

10. Made it through that five-minute question that I know nothing about without even pausing: Phew!  (thank you Meyerson Okay so he's not a woman)
