Palin wears a wire over her right shoulder.
partly disguised with hair around it, but it's too thick and cylindrical.

The thing he didn't say:
"We tried stupid for eight years. It didn't work."
Joe Bi den could have ripped Palin to shreds but he didn't want to end her political career....he went easy on her on purpose.
ACTUALLY BIDEN'S COMMENT DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH. LOOK UP THE COMMONWEALTH FUND REPORT: Comparing the Obama and McCain Plans for Health Care Reform; From: The Commonwealth Fund cmwf.orgealthfund@cmwf.org); Sent: Thu 10/02/08 10:22 AM
READ IT ALL! LOOK AT THE CHARTS! MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE, THE COMMON PEOPLE OF THE USA. A TICKLER IS PART OF THE OPENING OVERVIEW:
"Overview
This report describes the 2008 presidential candidates' proposals, examines key differences in their vision of a future health insurance system, and evaluates the proposals against principles outlined by the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System.
Senators John McCain and Barack Obama would place the nation's health system on very different paths, with profound implications for the American people.
Obama's proposal for mixed private–public group insurance with a shared responsibility for financing has greater potential to move the health care system toward high performance than does McCain's proposal to encourage individual market coverage through the use of tax incentives and deregulation.
According to an estimate discussed in the report, in 10 years McCain's proposal would reduce the number of people who are uninsured by 2 million out of a projected 67 million, while Obama's plan would reduce the number of uninsured people by 34 million."
ASK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ONE OF THOSE 33 MILLION DENIED BECAUSE THE MCCAIN PROPOSAL BECOMS A REALITY
THIS IS AN ISSUE OF HUMANITY
READ THE REPORT YOURSELF.
Joe Biden won the debate hands down. All Palin did was recite her memorized lines as usual amd added a few winks and nods and gave out a few shout outs. I'm very proud of Senator Biden. The man is very intelligent and knowledgeable. She lost fair and square. The Repubs have given up in Michagan, what's the next state?
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008-2016
That was the second best point of the nite by Biden.
It was well thought out, factual and to the point.
Unlike anything we saw from "the thrilla of wasillia"
whose points were often filled with prepared lies, lack of knowledge and attacks.
We need that bridge to nowhere because we ain't going no where. ......................

How are we going to find out about her if she does NOT answer the questions?
Joe did a great job !
Excellent post-debate analysis

Joe looks far more a hero than McCain ever was.
Please ... John McSame was a war prisoner not a war hero!
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain
I can say that, I was USAF combat crew member in SE Asia! I saw some true heroism.
But read the above article! McSame is a true elite!
Walking away, Joe, walking away with a smile.
Bravo!
Say Sarah......
To quote a famous movie:
"You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear. "
Cramming for a debate does NOT replace real knowledge of the issues.
Now take that back to Alaska.
haha, funny!
Was Palin just doing her job accepting the bridge money, or did she say "thanks, but no thanks" to the money?
Let's remember than O and B iden voted FOR the bridge to nowhere. McC was only 1 of 4 who voted against it.
She was getting money for her state which I would expect her to do as governor.
What are O and B iden's excuses?
You're suggesting that those votes were not the best decisions, and I would agree.
The problem is her outright lies about her role in that pork-barrel project, in working to getting more like it, what she did with the funds for the bridge to nowhere, the funds she used to build the road to the bridge to nowhere, etc.
I'll take bad judgment on voting for something that happens to include an awful pork-barrel addition than someone who lies about what they did to rouse an audience at the GOP convention any day.
Where are you going to be come Nov. 5 when OUR President is Barack Obama? Hmmm? Here's some crackers to go with your waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. :)
The problem is not the bridge but lying about the bridge. And what is it all about this stupid earmark stuff anyway? John McCain seems to care more about Bears in Montana and bridges in Alaska than the middle-class. How can you on the one hand think that a war against a country that posed no threat at all that cost a trillion dollars or more is a great idea but that 3 million dollars is a huge waste of taxpayer money?
Bu-bye Sarah! Better luck never.
Joe made he word "zing" two syllables with extra exclamations on that one...
