#1 So in essence, was it a Yes or a No?

#2 Let's imagine what happens if, after Obama misses a heratbeat, Mr Bidden is asked that simple question:
"Missiles are heading to the United States what are your irders" and takes 13 minutes and 20 seconds to answer.

Let's imagine what happens if Putin begins to think that it will take President Bidden 13 minutes and twenty seconds to answer that question.

#3 I think good 'ol Bambi and Mr. Hair Plugs should be as far away from political power as possible.

#4 Y'know, I think I found a perfect Dem for McCain's cabinet, if McCain should win.

Biden would make a wonderful Secretary of State.

Seriously.....he could bloviate for hours. He could tie up the entire afternoon for Putin, Imanutjob and Lil' Kimmie over the topic of how he likes his tea.

(Ok, maybe UN Rep, but you get the idea.....)

#7 Biden has always been the kind of guy who you ask the time and he proceeds to tell you how to build a clock--Biden the Great Bloviator.

Was it a yes or no? Maybe maybe not big jim.

#9 "On a flight to Kalispell, Mont., Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del..."spoke about Iraq for "13 minutes, 20 seconds," being cut short only due to the fact that the flight's duration was 13 minutes, 20 seconds.

#11 Biden is going to take a beating during the debates.

After seeing her performance in the Alaska gubernatorial debate I have one and only one concern about her performance. She tends to give very short direct answers and often doesn't utilize even the full time allotted for her answer. Even if she wipes the floor with Biden the media will seize on this point as evidence that she's vapid and has little to add to the national discussion.

#12 If they win I look forward to insinuating Biden the one in command and Obama is obviously his empty-headed puppet (a la Cheney and Bush).

#13 Every time I hear Obama speak I wonder whose hand is up his ass making the lips move.

#14 My thoughts exactly AzCat. I see him as the ventriloquist's dummy or marionette.

#17 AzC, does what the MSM really think matter anymore?

Palin's MSMoose hunting and already bagged Olbermann and Matthews.

#18 Only to the extent that their mindless blathering can still swing a few of the more uninformed voters in the crowd. And these days that might be enough to turn a national election. Like it or not they're always going to have that sort of influence.

#19 BigJimKY So in essence, was it a Yes or a No?

Exactly.

#20 FOr thsoe that didn't get it: "Yes or No" was exactly what Biden was saying (i.e. blathering on and not really settling in on a Yes or a No)

#21 There were almost enough who thought that Senator John Kerry's blithering indicated intelligence. Amongst them, himself.

#22 Alas, Kerry was only half-right.
