1. Yes. She seemed to get lost during the end.
I thought it looked like she ran out of notes towards the end there. Especially on the question of the powers of the VP.

2. I disagree in that Sarah didn't come across as the ditz we've seen lately. She didn't
offer much in terms of substance (or truth in some cases) but to the uninformed person she _sounded_ good.

But on points, Biden won for sure.

3. She went for "Folksy" and it came out "Fakesy."
Awful, scripted -- it's like she was playing tapes in her head, switching them randomly at times. (She played the "Education" script in the middle of a different answer!)

:puke:

7. That's as good as I've seen Joe
and he was very good in the early Dem debates. Easy to see Joe as President.

5. Yes, Biden did better but...
Palin did pretty good. She didn't embarrass herself like many thought she would. I'm kind of disappointed. I've been looking forward to this debate and it wasn't as exciting as I wanted. I wanted some "Katie Couric answers." I was annoyed Palin kept rambling on and on about energy. One time, I can't remember the question, Palin didn't have an answer so she decided, "hey, I'm going to just talk about energy" which had nothing to do with the question.

6. I'm not sure if she did survive.
She was answering different questions than the ones that were asked.

(Hey! Harold Ford just said what I was typing!)

Question about bankruptcy? Answer about energy.
