We can do it! LIVEblogging the VP debate…

7:57 – Getting ready for this thing to start.
8:02 – Yay! Here they are!
8:03 – Wowee. Okay, it’s the only time I’ll say it and it has nothing to do with anything, but YAY for going ahead and being a girl. She is beautiful.
8:05 – I appreciate eye-contact. Thank you, Governor.
8:06 – Wootiwoo! Did she just gesture toward Mr. B? Yes, I think she did!
8:07 – An aside: I used to think Joe Biden was attractive. I don’t anymore. A young John McCain was like, sooo much better looking. What do you think?
biden - boo. mccain - ooh la la.
8:20 – This debate is brought to you by the word “fairness.”
8:27 – “Toxic mess”–I agree.
8:32 – Wait. What, Joe? I thought you opened this thing up with your biggest “fundamental difference?”
8:34 – Oh, you’ve always been for clean coal? That explains the clip I saw of you.
8:34 – Ten years to get a drop of that oil to us? Here, Joe, here’s my dad’s number. Just give him a call. If you need some oil I am sure that he’d be happy to get some to you, stat.
8:42 – No end in sight to the war? Are you kidding me?
8:43 – A white flag. Amen.
8:44 – Go ahead, giggle. It’s funny, Joe. How you loved John McCain, sang his praises, and said you’d love to run on a ticket with him until you had an offer from your own side of the aisle.
8:49 – Umm, I believe he did suggest sitting down and speaking with Ahmadinejad. Hold on. I’ll find the clip.
8:52 – Yeah, I’m sure he has a passion for Israel. Sure. But I am also fairly sure it’s not the same passion. Do with that what you will.
8:54 – LOL. Did you HEAR that intake of breath?! Are you watching his lips twitch?! Is he seething or is it just another aneurysm?
9:06 – John McCain “knows what evil is” and it smells like B.O.
9:07 – It would be a “national tragedy of historic proportions.” Well, at least it would be history then. “But if it did…”–one can only hope.
9:09 – You are doing good tonight, girl.
9:17 – Yeah, but umm…President of the Senate ex officio? Heard of that one?
9:20 – You’re not going to change, but isn’t that what your entire campaign is built around?
9:22 – Regarding Twitter updates I have been subjected to: you are tacky, you don’t love your country, and you, well, I’m just ashamed of you.
9:25 – Good. I’m ready for this to be over.
9:26 – Please do well, please do well, please do well.
9:27 – You sure think highly of yourself.
9:28 – You’ve never questioned another senator’s motives? Isn’t that what you are doing with most of what McCain stands for?
9:30 – I appreciate you, Gov. Palin. What you believe in, what you are not afraid to stand up for, the decisions that you make, and I appreciate the fact that I can be proud to have a woman like you, representing a woman like me in this age of change. Gov. Palin, you are my pick. I am not frightened at the thought of having you “a heartbeat away” from the presidency–I’m thrilled. For the first time in my life, I can say that I am proud to have a woman in your position representing me and the things that I stand for.
