DEBATE ANALYSIS: A Minute by Minute Look at Biden vs. Palin
Editor's note: The folks over at Think Progress did a great job live-blogging tonight's debate, here's their minute by minute analysis:
10:32: Palin bragged that as governor, she has appointed people “regardless of political affiliation.†However, high school affiliation has been very important. As the New York Times noted, “The Wasilla High School yearbook archive now doubles as a veritable directory of state government.†Palin has appointed her former junior high band-mate, among others.
10:31: Palin said McCain will boost jobs with policies that “build up infrastructure and reign in government spending.†In fact, to build infrastructure you need to spend money. McCain has proposed an across-the-board spending freeze that would result in real cuts in infrastructure construction and maintenance.
10:30: Palin just praised Alaska politicians ability to “work together,†yet Palin refuses to cooperate with the Alaska legislature’s investigation into her alleged ethics violation known as “Troopergate.â€
10:28: Palin said that she can’t think of anything on which she changed her position. And if you believe that, there’s a Bridge to Nowhere we’d like to sell you.
