And now that you mention it, I think he did do better than Obama did in his debate. I just feel that Biden didn't make the killing stroke when Palin was primed for one. She was damaged goods going in, and came out with no additional damage when it was expected that she would bomb. That lack of a killing stroke was why I gave Palin the nod for this debate even though I graded Biden better than Palin. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but that's my take. <BR/><BR/>As for the Frogs, I think they should have used Marcus Jackson last week against OU, since Andy Dalton was proving immobile. We should have been 6-0 instead of 5-1. Yeah, OU had a revenge factor going in, but heck, we coulda done it.John P.

And certainly it'd be nearly impossible to say she's more prepared for the job than Biden.<BR/><BR/>I thought Biden put on a better performance than Obama, to be honest. He was direct, aggressive, gracious and, in that moment where he choked up about his family, genuine.<BR/><BR/>I dunno, comrade. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.<BR/><BR/>But how about them Frogs?blackinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537923754597016040noreply@blogger.com
