It was a pleasant surprise to see Palin speaking with confidence and authority, instead of the "I'll have to get back to ya" nonsense in her interviews. Both were willing to take some serious jabs at the other ticket without going over the top, which was great--it was a debate, not a discussion, after all. I did notice Palin circling back to her energy platform a couple times when she was asked questions on other subjects she wasn't comfortable with. And Biden's responses to the foreign policy questions demonstrated superior knowledge of the nuances and history of the subjects covered. I noticed the five or six times Palin talked about being "maverick", the audience went cold. Hopefully their campaign noticed too, and will lay off that nonsense. I think both did a good enough job to help their ticket, which in the end means the debate was a wash. I think Biden did a better job overall, but not enough to convert many undecided or right-leaning voters. I thought both Biden and Palin did a better job than Obama or McCain.

As for Biden being a bully, he took the high road most of the night and left Palin alone. Besides, what do you think debates are for? You're not supposed to go up there and give the other person an ego boost. You're supposed to state your point and attack your opponent's weaknesses. It just so happens that Palin's weakness is answering questions. The entire debate consisted of her dancing around the actual questions and returning to her scripted talking points. Did she handle herself well and avoid major gaffes? Sure. Did she prove that she's worthy of the vice presidency or, if something were to happen to McCain, the presidency? Not at all. In fact, it made me wonder how she can even run Alaska with her lack of understanding about issues across the board. @ Maggie: Your comment proves you can't even spell (see "lier").

I like Joe Biden a lot. I actually would have voted democrat this year had he won the primary. He is intelligent, and he is real. I thought palin did a pretty good job too. however, instead of always showing palins gaffes and missteps, how about showing all of bidens from last night? Do you people even realize that he flat out got it wrong on a couple of things pertaining to mccain last night? Probably not, you are so blinded for obama it is unreal. I am voting for neither party this year. I think Ron Paul is the only one who can save us from the economic crisis facing america. write him in on election day. I thought both of them did a good job.

She has no clear idea what she is talking about. Not even a single plan what they would do except saying she did things in Alaska. She is just fit for Alaska and no where else and she needs to go back there ASAP. This ticket of Mccain and Palin is a complete Joke. Listening to Biden, I agree with someone's comment here, that he is as presidential as he can be. His answers are more geared towards finding solutions to the problem we have in hand (Econmomy, world standing, war). If Sarah was a Guy, Joe would have ripped the debabe apart and would not have controlled his aggression on someone who is totally clueless on anything and everything except for Energy plan Sarah was totally pathetic.
