The answer to all these questions is kill me.

mentions "killing Bin Laden": 1
mentions "justice": 0

begins sentences to nowhere: 16
mentions "hardworking Americans": 6

praises Israel: 2
scratches crotch/picks wedgie: 3

refers to various dark-skinned foreigners as "terrorists," "evil-doers," "bad guys," and/or "people who wish us harm": 8
says that she'll "sure up" the economy: 3

stares in disbelief at his opponent's idiocy: 4
makes off-color, racist joke: 57

mentions, but doesn't elaborate on, reform: 7
brings up freedom or 9/11: 9

lauds his own "good judgment": 4
mentions his affinity for Steeley Dan: 1

I forgot to post this earlier, but here's the final tally based on the VP debate.
