...said. Palin also criticized Obama’s Senate record and his foreign policy suggestions. Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden countered Palin’s critiques by scrutinizing Senator John McCain’s political record, rather than directly addressing Palin’s. He also called McCain “out of touch” with the average American and emphasized Obama’s dedication to the middle class. He also called McCain’s healthcare plan the real “bridge to nowhere.” Although Treuer said he does not support Palin...

One of Sosolimited’s tricks, for instance, was to stack the candidates’ answers on top of each other, lining up their most frequently used words so you could see their context.

Like all political theatre, that night belonged to the costumers, to the stage crew...
...Speechwriters played a part, of course—every folksy quip, every heart wrenching anecdote, every false accusation was delivered with the poise and monotony of long preparation on both sides. But the best moments were, as in all theatre, accidental: McCain nearly forgetting how to pronounce “Ahmadinejad.” Obama’s ludicrously blackened eyebrows. And, most of all, a stunning exchange concerning the bracelets they each wore...
