Given the last few blundering interviews, if I was a Sarah Palin fan, I'd be dancing too. She in no way, LOST the election for McCain tonight and that was a real possibility going in.
She was coherent and made sense on most questions, so I'd agree that's a victory at this point.
No she did not lose the election for McCain. I"m going to kiss my dog!!!! My husband went to bed!! I'm too excited to sleep!!!
Ron I'd debate you but I wouldn't be fun to debate as I'm too kind.

6) Biden did a good job of tying McCain/Palin to GWB on the issues. He highlighted the fact that he "didn't hear a plan" on an exit strategy from Iraq.
I cant agree here. He kept trying to tie them and she untied them by admitting there have been blunders in this administration but that he needs to quit looking behind and look forward.

7) All in all, I think this was a draw. I can't see that either one actually out and out won the debate. That's good news for Sarah Palin and the base I think given the expectations going in. I'm not sure this will make any difference in the long run and effect the polls at all. In that sense, given his current position, that's bad news for McCain.
A draw in terms of tit for tat yes. But a draw is a win for Palin because the expectations for her were much highter than Biden. She cleared the bar high and above what folks thought she would do. She was charming, fresh, and real. She left a very good impression in contrast to how the media has been trying to paint her as well as SNL and late night comedians.

I think they both held their own,I am for Mccain but I like Joe Biden somethings I disagree with him on,but he is knowledgeable and he was kinder than I thought he would be.
I like Obama as a person,I don't agree with him.I have Obama supporters as my friends and they are still my friends.
He had the disadvantage as far as having to be kind since she's a lady. He's smart, I believe he knew he couldn't be to "attacky" because it might backfire. One the other hand she can get away it a little more.

Thank God Sarah did so well tonight!!! She was authentic and showed that she can certainly connect to the common folks and hold her on with the Old Timer of DC.
I think that is one of her strengths being able to connect with the common man.
