He spent time in a cage. He knows how to win a war! A Nukular war perhaps.
"doggone it."
wow thats a big drink that sentence was loaded!!!
Article 1, Clause 4: Vice President as President of Senate; Voting Power
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
Wiki elaboration:
Section Three provides that the Vice President is to serve as President of the Senate, although in practice, the Vice President usually presides over the Senate only when a tie in the voting is anticipated. Neither the Vice President nor the full-time President pro tempore of the Senate preside over the body's routine sessions; instead, the President pro tempore typically deputizes a junior member of the assembly to fill the role. As a non-member of the assembly, the Vice President has no vote unless the Senate is equally divided, in which case the Vice President has what is called a casting vote. This is as contrasted with the Speaker of the House, who has always been chosen from among the Members of the House of Representatives,[38] and as a Member of the assembly can vote to both make or break a tie. This provision is typically seen as one of the "checks and balances" built into the U.S. Constitution, whereby the 3 branches of the federal government (Congress, President, and the courts) are given the ability to influence the others. In this case, the Vice President's ability to preside over the deliberations of the Senate and (more importantly) break tie votes, presumably in favor of the presidential administration's preferences, allows the Executive Branch to influence the behavior of the Senate (and, consequently, Congress).

"John McCain is a Maverick" is the only answer you need.
you try playing the rm veep drinking game & constitutional poker.
...and now maverick can no longer be used as an answer tonight.
no longer available.
got to be a new u2b yank record (& i was all prepared to break it seeing that it was her)
hell no hahaha palin is liable to give someone alchy poisoning
damn. Biden's ending strong.
Biden is punishing Palin in the final statements!
this is amazing 
she can't think of her own ending statement, so she's going to quote someone else. and the statement had nothing to do with anything she said during the debate.
edit: also is it just me or did she wink a little too much. i find it hard to trust a politician that winks a lot

Sonabitch I wish we had our cable hooked up at the new apt!!
Okay, so just how bad was her "performance?"
that was awful.
Boom! Palin was saving a Reagan quote for the end! AHAHAHA so terrible...
she held her own, which is to say, no deer-in-the-headlights or awkward clumsiness. just the usual evasion & folksie "charm"
picture the hot girl in class who can smile and wink at the professor and get an A when she should get an F.
Yep. Didn't actually answer a question but far from the train wreck that many (including myself) were expecting. Lots of fluff and light on substance though.
Were we watching the same debate? I don't think she actually answered a single question. She just regurgitated a bunch of BS that the republicans made her memorize over the past week of debate "boot camp".I'm watching Pat Buchanan go nuts right now about how "good" she was.
This happens after every debate. Of course, she didn't have a total meltdown, it is indeed a "victory" on some level, but both sides always claim victory no matter what the hell happens. You sound surprised.

wait, she didn't get down on her hands and knees and start eating lint off the carpet? TEH WINNAH!!!11!
She gave a better than expected performance. Of course, the level of expectation is perhaps the lowest it has ever been in any debate in history however.
or the fact that she avoided it all together and said nothing on the subject
i messed it all cuz i was out riding teh trails..
Go Palin!
Go Palin!
