Hi lao Du, let’s put the positions aside at this time
(Sorry, Laodu, I might be too wordy and straight at this time. It’s just my personal opinion, I am not on any side yet).
paladincam Says:对palin所有的高评价都是基于低起点的基础上,那只能算是进步而不是优秀。事实就是论对具体事务的了解,见地,眼界,逻辑,反应等等palin都比biden差了不是一点啊,这种水平当美国总统简直无法想象。
当然如果米国老百姓不看这些就看是不是亲民,就像选小布什似的,那就没话说了。不怎么喜欢佩玲就像讨厌巴马一样,不是fresh face就一定能把问题搞定的, 拿不出简历,至少也的拿出点儿能力来证明给大家看啊。

Laodu, thanks for the platform and for allowing “Bai Hua Qi Fang”
“你可能不同意她的观点,但很难不同情她的处境”You are absolutely a gentleman, Laodu, that is very much understandable
“佩玲不容易, 毕竟是个只当了两年州长的菜鸟。更何况,她除了要承受媒体的无情攻击之外,还要面对来自共和党内部日渐增长的对她能力的质疑”
Absolutely, it is hard! Competing with a VP position of the US has never been an easy job, although it’s an easier one comparing… And not only having us, the people from her own Party have started to question on her credential as well. As for the “media attack”, I would bring two points. The media (Paparazzi are not on the list) in the US has a right to expose pretty much “everything” of the public figures by law, because of the “public” factor, because public figures also benefit from the super titles, they have to take the pressures or shits (sometimes), no matter who you are (including JB and Obama). The second, if you look back of the US political history on the media, any one, who pursuits a candidacy of VP or President, has to face the challenge from media and public questioning, that is a principle of the democratic society. Of course, the challenges can be very tough or “brutal”, but as a future VP or President of a country, you have to have the capacity and the capability to bring yourself going through it before you reach the crown. If you fail, for whatever reason (except the year 2000 story), you have to return to where you were. If it was injustice, there is a way for you to prosecute. If you expect to come back at one day, continue to exercise the “skills”, there will be another potential chance.
“可惜JB选择的却只是按照原来设计好的套路,单纯一味的攻击切尼。忘了站在对面的对手是佩玲。”For me, JB may not be the best choice, but for this particular discussion, he did have a powerful answer and explanation after Palin’s address. That is the truth. As for
“单纯一味的攻击切尼。忘了站在对面的对手是佩玲”, that was the point and was exactly he should do.
“昨晚的辩论,把他讲得那些话单拿出来,更像是一个人的演讲,辩论的成分不多。”This debate was a different one comparing with the previous president debate… They, PBS, set up a special rule which was “The specific subjects and questions were chosen by me (the host) and have not been shared or cleared with anyone on the campaigns or on the commission.” The two candidates had been told when they prepared the debate a long while ago. Following the rule first, that is a principle of presidential debate. On the other hand, answering a question tactfully is different with trying to evade the crucial issues.
“其实如果把JB的套话官话和他在平时演讲中说过无数遍的对老马的攻击拣出去,两个人在税收,能源,反恐,教育等等问题上给出的答案,并没有很大区别。”Regarding JB’s problem, that is a different subject; but criticizing Palin’s basic abilities doesn’t mean JB is great on everything.
