ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blamed some of the U.S. financial crisis on Wall Street during the vice presidential debate.
"You darn right it was the predator lenders," said Palin. "There was greed and corruption on Wall Street."
Watch: Palin: Economy is hurting
Biden blamed some of the crisis on deregulation policies that John McCain believes in.
"He voted for deregulation and that is why we are in the crisis that we are in," said Biden.

is she running for herself
She won't answer the questions asked. She will only say waht she is coached....
humiliating for a woman.....
Big mistake Palin. Answer the question.
WOW !!!!! You can teach a monkey with lipstick talk..
Way to sound professional Sarah Palin. "You darn right" Nest thing we'll start hearing is the mispronunciation of Nuclear again. Ohhh boy
Palin is correct...Wall st. is greedy...my morgatge went through 5 people before it stopped....all trying to make money and I don't have a risky one...Palin undersatnds.
SHE !!!!WON'T!!!! ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!
She is doing well
There she goes again hockey moms, alaska. Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn u crazy woman answer the questions.
She isn't going to answer the questions she doesn't want to? What is that aboutZ?
Why is it George Bush and Sarah Palin don't know how to put 'g's at the end of their words? Do you really want Joe six pack running your Country? Please think before you vote.
anyone else notice the debate is sponsored by exxon mobil?? interesting.
by the way, tell palin enough about her family. I want to hear about proposals for the american people!!!
I love the freudian slip in your headline...Pain blames financial crisis on Wall Street. She's a pain alright.
Did she just hear what Biden told her? What is she talking about?
"Squawk!!" says McCain's pet parrot. But she doesn't have a clue what it all means.
WOW, the McCain machine HA HA
She is answering all of the questions exactly as she should. Great job Sarah. And i love "darn right"!
Her style insults every educated woman in the country – and every person in the country who values education. She is a puppet and it shows........I worry about who is pulling her strings.
I have to agree that the lenders who said someone (like me) who could MAYBE afford a 100K house said "SURE you can afford a 300K house" are at fault...ppl who believed them..they just wanted the American Dream: a house...and now they have the American nightmare: homelessness.
Dear God, shut her up already !!!
Can we say SCRIPTED! Palin sounds loke a broken record!
Girl you need to watch that Gwen Eiffel – she's gonna try to trip you up cause she needs her boy Barack in office to help her book sales... We love you Sarah!!
headline explains it all
She's sticking to the talking points given to her that's for sure.
She thinks by looking in the camera, it is making her more "personal" I guess!! Answer the questions!!!
