10/02/08 10:09 PM Traip-Gagnon leigh, may just be in HD, but on the HD channels I am watching they have focus groups of individuals from swing states watching the debate
10/02/08 10:09 PM lcsandy there are a lot of half truths and spin in elections as a whole. visit issue2000.org to see what politicians across the political spectrum really say
10/02/08 10:09 PM Traip-Gagnon showing their reactions to answers
10/02/08 10:09 PM Newsbyte But Biden is being very specific and honest - seems much more considerate and human right now
10/02/08 10:09 PM Coach Stapes That is true Republican4life... they have not...it is not always a stregnth to have gone to war... That is why we have a civilian commander and cheif
10/02/08 10:10 PM Leighferickson oooh cool :) thats an interesting thing to have...

10/02/08 10:10 PM CzarNickolas a yesman?
10/02/08 10:11 PM Republican4life To win a war, it definently helps to have 20+ years in the military.
10/02/08 10:11 PM susan YES repub mccain has been there and he knows how bad it is so why should he send his people to go through what he went through
10/02/08 10:11 PM Newsbyte The women, again, reaceted very positively to a comment about middle class, this time from Palin

10/02/08 10:17 PM Leighferickson most dangerous vice president in american history!!!!
10/02/08 10:17 PM Coach Stapes Remember... you have the joint cheifs of staff that are the experts ... mccain or obama will need them to guide them going forward
10/02/08 10:17 PM susan thats different
10/02/08 10:17 PM Republican4life But a civilian sould not have the judgement.
10/02/08 10:17 PM mike how much extra credit do i get ?????
10/02/08 10:18 PM Newscaster whoa
10/02/08 10:18 PM CzarNickolas good point stapes
10/02/08 10:18 PM Coach Stapes TRUE
10/02/08 10:18 PM Newsbyte Biden is making a more powerful point
10/02/08 10:18 PM susan he will continue being the most dangerous in history - unless palin gets elected.
10/02/08 10:18 PM Republican4life Does most dangerous mean, shoots people or just politically destructive.
10/02/08 10:18 PM Traip-Gagnon he's also a dangerous quail hunter (sorry...had to bring that up...ha ha)
10/02/08 10:18 PM mike stapes
10/02/08 10:18 PM Newsbyte I'm surprised that Palin expressed agreement with Cheney
10/02/08 10:18 PM Leighferickson haha yeah... you dont shoot your friends and then have THEM apologize to you
10/02/08 10:18 PM Coach Stapes Our constitution, as written by the founding fathers, made sure to leave that final judgement in the hands of a civilian
10/02/08 10:18 PM Republican4life Whoah. Unless Palin gets elected.
10/02/08 10:18 PM CzarNickolas haha yes gagnon
10/02/08 10:19 PM Coach Stapes That is critical to our countries success both in war and in peace
10/02/08 10:19 PM mike u dont even have to pay be a good student an get a schalarship
10/02/08 10:20 PM Republican4life Washington fought the war, then became the first president. He was pres because he had that experiance that the others did not.
10/02/08 10:20 PM Coach Stapes We also believe in self determination of other countries
10/02/08 10:20 PM mike yes
10/02/08 10:20 PM Coach Stapes Absolutely...
10/02/08 10:20 PM Newsbyte Isn't being humble part of being a good leader?
10/02/08 10:20 PM Traip-Gagnon im not going to change....i liked that answer
10/02/08 10:21 PM Coach Stapes He also led the Constitution Convention... when others could not
10/02/08 10:21 PM Republican4life So now he'll use the pity line.
10/02/08 10:21 PM CzarNickolas Well sometimes you need a fresh face that isn't tainted by the corruption theyve had under a party that wrecked the country in the past 8 years
10/02/08 10:21 PM Coach Stapes Wow... that was heart felt
10/02/08 10:21 PM Republican4life Don't you think a lot of that leadership experiance came from that leadership experiance.
10/02/08 10:22 PM susan its not just a line, its his LIFE.
10/02/08 10:22 PM Leighferickson she uses alot of the same words/phrases..."maverick" "back in alaska"
10/02/08 10:22 PM Newscaster intense to watch
10/02/08 10:22 PM Republican4life In the military that is.
10/02/08 10:22 PM CzarNickolas yeah yeah we get it, palin... youre a "maverick..."
10/02/08 10:22 PM Traip-Gagnon what do you think McCain is going for when he talks about Vietnam Republican4Life?
10/02/08 10:22 PM CzarNickolas i swear if i hear that word one more time...
10/02/08 10:22 PM Coach Stapes Pity is not what he was looking for there... I think Palin could say similar statements about her son
10/02/08 10:22 PM Newsbyte Yes -what has been new that Pal;in has said?
10/02/08 10:22 PM susan exactly gagnon
10/02/08 10:22 PM Republican4life Maverick is a key word. It means "Not Bush".
10/02/08 10:22 PM Leighferickson i know
10/02/08 10:22 PM Traip-Gagnon Romney=partisanship, those from Mass care to chime in :)
10/02/08 10:23 PM Leighferickson czar...i just said that same exact thing... if she says maverick again i'm going to go insane.
10/02/08 10:23 PM Newsbyte har har
10/02/08 10:23 PM susan well, mccain basically is bush so what now repub4life
10/02/08 10:23 PM mike mr stapleton did my see debate comments for homework post i need to no?
10/02/08 10:23 PM Republican4life His service and dedication to his country.
10/02/08 10:23 PM CzarNickolas yes! biden! call him on the maverickism!
10/02/08 10:24 PM Coach Stapes Remember Washington stepped down as general after the war... he could have become King... He could have ruled from his military like so many other generals... rather he retired to become a farmer... a
10/02/08 10:24 PM Leighferickson :) yay! biden
10/02/08 10:24 PM Traip-Gagnon is maverickism a word czar? :)
10/02/08 10:24 PM Republican4life Hes not Bush, Susan. He has disagreed with Bush on some of the key issues of our time.
10/02/08 10:24 PM susan yeah and how dedicated he was to his first wife who he left with two kids after she was in a major car accident.
10/02/08 10:24 PM Traip-Gagnon final question time....here we go
10/02/08 10:24 PM Coach Stapes he only came out of retirement to lead the constitution convention when the country was in desperate straights ... actually economically
10/02/08 10:24 PM Newsbyte I agree Czar
10/02/08 10:24 PM susan but he has agreed with a lot more
10/02/08 10:24 PM Coach Stapes Good night Mike
10/02/08 10:24 PM mike ?????????????????
10/02/08 10:25 PM mike did they post
10/02/08 10:25 PM Republican4life Are you saying all Military leaders make themslves dictator?
10/02/08 10:25 PM mike good night
10/02/08 10:25 PM mike ?
10/02/08 10:25 PM CzarNickolas it is a word now, gagnon.
10/02/08 10:25 PM Republican4life Well of course they have agreed.
10/02/08 10:26 PM Newsbyte Mike, you can send a note to me thru the contact form at the site - let me know what your username is at SEEdebate and I can look it up for you
10/02/08 10:26 PM lcsandy quasi caved in
10/02/08 10:26 PM Traip-Gagnon fair enough, i'll allow it :)
10/02/08 10:26 PM Republican4life They are both republican. But who is to say that EVERYTHING Bush has done is bad.
10/02/08 10:26 PM Coach Stapes In many countries where a leader can also be general... yes military dictatorships have been plentiful...
10/02/08 10:27 PM Traip-Gagnon I don't even say that about Bush...i'll back Republican4Life
10/02/08 10:27 PM Republican4life At least Palin is strongly bi-partisan.
10/02/08 10:27 PM mike who else is nin herere
10/02/08 10:27 PM Coach Stapes Our system is designed to keep the military under control and to make sure it is a tool for our defense and not other things
10/02/08 10:28 PM Republican4life But I mean an American war hero. Not all military dictatorships are bad though.
10/02/08 10:28 PM Coach Stapes That is a good point... I wish both candidates could put forth a list of who they would like to be in the various positions ...
10/02/08 10:29 PM Newsbyte I agree, Coach
10/02/08 10:29 PM Republican4life No tax increases.
10/02/08 10:29 PM CzarNickolas being a war hero makes him qualified to be president
10/02/08 10:29 PM Coach Stapes Give me an example of a military dictatorship in history or the present that is good?
10/02/08 10:29 PM Traip-Gagnon closing statements
10/02/08 10:29 PM susan apparently it does czar
10/02/08 10:29 PM Coach Stapes She is going after the media
10/02/08 10:30 PM Republican4life Rome was excellent for a while. And there are many cases where a dictatorship runs smoother than democracy.
10/02/08 10:30 PM Leighferickson yep...then i have to finish my homework...:(
10/02/08 10:30 PM Coach Stapes How are you going to fight?
10/02/08 10:30 PM Traip-Gagnon homework...what kind of teacher gives homework...oh wait...
10/02/08 10:30 PM Coach Stapes Tell that to the slaves and all the folks they conquered
10/02/08 10:30 PM Republican4life Being a war hero certainly helps. There are other reasons I like him yaknow.
10/02/08 10:31 PM Republican4life John McCain. USA.
10/02/08 10:31 PM Coach Stapes I will take the grid lock of democracy vs. the lack of freedom in an efficient dictatorship
10/02/08 10:31 PM Republican4life It was in the name of progress and unification Stapes.
10/02/08 10:32 PM susan go biden.
10/02/08 10:32 PM Coach Stapes Thankfully.... no matter who wins the election we will stay free and democratic and not move to a dictatorship
10/02/08 10:32 PM lcsandy up up up
10/02/08 10:32 PM Newscaster I'll have to agree with Stapes on that one
10/02/08 10:33 PM Republican4life He really preaches that smalltown neiborhood appeal. Maybe where he grew up, people clung to guns and religion.
10/02/08 10:33 PM Traip-Gagnon nice closing from Biden
10/02/08 10:33 PM susan were ready
10/02/08 10:33 PM susan very nice
10/02/08 10:33 PM Coach Stapes Thanks to all the Northwestern students who joined in
10/02/08 10:33 PM Traip-Gagnon now we go to the spin zone, when republicans say they won and democrats say they won :)
10/02/08 10:33 PM CzarNickolas that
10/02/08 10:33 PM CzarNickolas was
10/02/08 10:33 PM CzarNickolas a
10/02/08 10:33 PM CzarNickolas loe
10/02/08 10:33 PM CzarNickolas blow
10/02/08 10:33 PM Megan Mr. Stapleton
10/02/08 10:33 PM Traip-Gagnon Traip folks, this was a lot of fun...hopefully you enjoyed it as mucha s I did
10/02/08 10:34 PM Republican4life Oh very exciting.
10/02/08 10:34 PM Leighferickson haha yeah, it was pretty fun :)
10/02/08 10:34 PM Newsbyte Thanks everyone for participating
10/02/08 10:34 PM Coach Stapes yes Megan
10/02/08 10:34 PM Leighferickson oh! and do we have class tomorrow? today was very confusing...
10/02/08 10:35 PM Traip-Gagnon if there is no games assembly we will have class then, if we do, then class on Monday
10/02/08 10:35 PM Megan NWR7 When Biden said that Chainy was the most dangerous thing out there, was he referring that Chainy is a Republican, or that he accidentally shot someone?
10/02/08 10:35 PM Traip-Gagnon i'm pushing back the due date for the project until next Friday...spread the word
10/02/08 10:35 PM Leighferickson ok cool... well i'm off, adios!
10/02/08 10:36 PM Newscaster Thanks to all!
10/02/08 10:36 PM Republican4life Alright, see you at the next debate. McCain and Palin for '08.
10/02/08 10:36 PM CzarNickolas k cool
10/02/08 10:36 PM Coach Stapes I don't think he was talking about the hunting accident... I think he was talking about his push for war
10/02/08 10:36 PM Traip-Gagnon aidos, thanks for stopping by
10/02/08 10:36 PM Newsbyte You all are great and sharp - keep us on our toes.
10/02/08 10:36 PM Traip-Gagnon bye Republcan4Life
10/02/08 10:36 PM Leighferickson oooh cool :) now i have time to paint! :D!
10/02/08 10:36 PM Coach Stapes What do you think Megan
10/02/08 10:36 PM Leighferickson bye bye
10/02/08 10:37 PM Traip-Gagnon yup yup yup
10/02/08 10:38 PM Megan NWR7 Maybe he was referring to that Chainy is a Republican and they're Democrats, and that would make them enemies
10/02/08 10:38 PM Traip-Gagnon ok everyone, i'm out of here. Thanks to everyone. See you at the next debate.
10/02/08 10:39 PM Newsbyte Thanks Josh - see you next time!
10/02/08 10:39 PM Newscaster Megan - I think he might have been referring to Cheny as a Vice President - going over the boundaries of the VP role
10/02/08 10:39 PM Newscaster Taiking on more power than the role should have
10/02/08 10:40 PM Newsbyte ANyone have any other thoughts or comments about the post-debate coverage?
10/02/08 10:40 PM Newscaster Goodnight Josh!
