I took each candidate’s words from the debate transcript, and plugged them into Wordle.
Here’s what I got. Click the images to enlarge.
Joe Biden:
Sarah Palin:
So, is “also” some sort of talking point superglue or something?

Does any of this make sense to you?

It’s hard to describe the grind of daily life in Zimbabwe without baffling people with numbers, percentages and statistics that are so unreal they are uncomprehendible. The cash crises that has crippled us for years has been one of those undescribable things.
The last few months have been horrific.
This morning I once again saw red when I opened my month-end bank statement.
Yesterday I had a balance in my account of $2,000 (at old value that is 20 trillion dollars / $20,000,000,000,000.00). This account is dormant, untouched for months.
This morning I find I owe the bank $500,000 in service fees for one month’s bank charges to hold my $2,000. This is no joke.
Debate summary

Neither candidate appeared to make a career-altering gaffe.
And here I though we were watching these things to find out where candidates stand on issues. Why is the bar lowered this much? Look at this, for example:
[Quote:]
Fully 84 percent of debate-watchers in CNN’s poll said Palin had done better than expected.
But they also said Joe Biden won the debate by a margin of 51 percent to 36 percent. The CBS poll had it Biden 46 percent, Palin 21 percent.

Palin was the kid from the sticks who was still standing when it was done. The nation, I think, was grateful for that. If she had gotten deeply flummoxed, as she had been during the Couric interview, it would have caused embarrassed cringing in America’s living rooms. Instead, her performance was a marvel of its kind — dissociated, jumbled, at times completely contradictory (“you build up infrastructure and rein in government spending,” she prescribed at one point: Huh?), with soundbites appearing and reappearing almost at random, but fast, happy, almost joyous: Made it through that five-minute question that I know nothing about without even pausing: Phew!
McCain campaign writes off Michigan
[Quote:]
Republican presidential candidate John McCain conceded battleground Michigan to Democrat Barack Obama on Thursday, a major retreat as he struggles to regain his footing in a campaign increasingly dominated by economic issues.
In another sign of McCain’s woes, his campaign signaled that it would counter Obama’s efforts in Indiana, a state that hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1964. And, a New Hampshire survey showed the Republican trailing by double digits.
It looks like McCain is falling back on something he’s familiar with: a 13 territories strategy.
Is Obama still working his “50 states”?

Palin is hot, she should win.
Palin is smokin hot, let’s make her VP just for that reason alone. I’d like to get me some of that.
She’s of average intelligence, and the highest office can lead to disaster for our country if anything but an exceedingly intelligent and capable person is chosen for both President and VP, in case the President passes away. Obviosly you don’t know Jack Schitt. Sorry, couldn’t resist
Sarah Palin has turned out to be the nation’s inkblot test. Do you look at her and see:
Someone just like you, a mom with 5 kids?
A sexy, hot librarian in three inch heels?
A ruthless, power-mad back-stabber?
A small town girl who makes good?
A big dumbass who doesn’t have any idea of what the V.P. actually does?
A calculating cutie who could charm the socks off of Putin?
An idiot choking on her own vomit of nonsense?
A born-again Christian woman with a big heart and purity of soul?
An anti-abortionist?
A small-time hustler who won the lottery?

It was all I could do to not bother to respond to the trash on this website, but by my last reading of the requirements for President or Vice President was to exceed the age of 35. That’s it. Where is it written that the people who represent us must be Ivy League Graduates, or Community Organizers (ie: Lobbyists)? Doesn’t seem like that has been the maker or breaker of a good representative of the people so far. Why can we not be represented by an average ‘Joe’? The grocer on mainstreet or the cable guy with some basic common sense? Or do you even know who deeply affected our nation with a book called “Common Sense”? Why must MRS. Palin have to be knowledgeable on every subject known to man on the turn of a dime? Do you not make yourself aware of an issue when it comes up rather than researching everything in the world, just in case? Sarah Palin has focused on the State of Alaska and worked for the people of Alaska. She has been asked to expand her horizon and now focus on the greater nation and world. How uncharitable of you to not grant her the same opportunity when you and your forebears have granted carte blanche to Jimmy Carter for one, and to all our representatives in government over the centuries. What is that all about with you? I thought that was what made our country great. By your gutter standards (I speak to the slimiest of you with your disgusting remarks about “getting some of that” and “an idiot choking on her own nonsense’) none of the prescient men who started this nation would qualify for the office! Oh BTW, learn to spell (magnat? What is THAT?) if you are going to rant on about Palin being stupid. Your ignorance, prejudice and dirty dealing are on proud display for your party right here in this little forum. Good luck with that.
My party? I’m not even a US citizen. And if you start quoting options from the inblot-test list, you apparently failed the test yourself. Common sense is by Thomas Paine, and I wonder how many people who are US citizens know that.
And since a bit of fun flowchart is apparently reason for both sides of the isle to descend into name calling, I’m going to close this thread.
