I disagree with you on the debate results. Palin is not a Washington insider with 30 years of debating on the floor of the senate. Of course Biden seemed more knowledgeable on Washington issues. He is part of the problem with government and does not represent change in any way shape or form. He made misstatements and statements that were factually inaccurate. He contradicted his former opinions of Obama from the ones he had during the democrat primary. That tells me that he caved on his principles. That is not a good trait for a prospective national leader.

Palin was coached to raise specific points in support of McCain. Those answers were scripted and predictable. She was able to get under Biden’s skin and his anger showed on his face when she cornered him on his primary statements.

It is hard to deny that Sarah Palin was elected and held the job of executive of a town and a state. Running the country is simply a matter of scale managing many of the same departments. Just ask Clinton. Neither Obama nor Clinton has ever been in command of anything where they had to make important decisions that affect the lives of others. They simply debate and vote on laws along with 99 other senators. Decision are left up to the President to make. At least McCain commanded troops in the Navy and fully understands how the military works and how it should be deployed.

Come on people there was no clear winner or loser of this debate. It was rather tame in my opinion especially after all the build up. There were no knockout punches landed by wither candidate. There were no serious gaffs by either candidate. It was plain and simple a draw. After watching that no one was going to suddenly decide to vote for the other ticket and I don't think that it would have swayed any of the "undecided".

I expected much more from a man who has 30 years of experience. I at least expected him to have the facts correct but to no avail. And that great big smile every time he did not like what Palin was saying was entertaining to watch. Palin was far more more confident and enthusiastic in her sincere communication with the people. She spoke more like a neighbor rather than a politition filled with hot air.

I am afraid you are wrong! Fox News had analysts on after the debate...Biden stated at least sixteen incorrect facts? pertaining to McCain...which will be brought out I am sure...
Palin has not been hanging around the Senate for 30 something years...Biden has...he should have known WHAT the facts were for SURE! Not improvise and tell untruths about McCains voting record...
I feel Palin out-shined Biden by a long shot...she is not the "ditzy" woman Couric and Gibson have made her out to be...
I expect this all of Obama's votes will be for Biden and McCain's for Palin...this is a forty four old female Mayor and presently a Governor
of a State...not some "twinkie" as all of the press has been badgering this woman...
I like Biden, however do not like his running mate...
Sarah Palin has my vote! no doubt about it...

Someone already posted fox got it wrong. I watched NBC last night, they did not come close to 16. I watched necn this morning and they came up with 3 for Biden.

Of course Biden will get more things wrong because he actually stuck to the topics. Maybe Fox should send a team to the soccer field, which Balin talked about to interview the moms on their answers. Could be some of the moms never said these things?

How about her anwser that she has only been at this for five weeks.

Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air...finally a national candidate who I cold picture sitting at our camp in NH, talking to my wife about things they share....married to a guy I can picture sitting in a lawn chair nex to ME, talking about what matters to me.

A breath of clean, mountain air!!!

No, TEO...then she goes to work, and understands folks like me...It's safe to say Joe Biden or Barack Obama have no clue what MY life is like....or I wouldn't be listening to the defeatist, Un-American rhetoric I am forced to tolerate.

Obama's never had a freakin' job...

Sara Palin didn't answer 3 direct questions asked by the moderator; instead she avoided the question to talk about taxes. I think that was poor judgment on her part. She did the same thing to Katie Couric when Katie asked what do you read, 3 times, and still she wouldn’t answer the question. She didn't even know the Generals name that she was talking about.
Biden could have embarrassed Palin by correcting her and insist she answer the questions, instead he took the high road, because if he didn't, he would have been accused of attacking poor little Sara Palin. Boohoo,Boohoo....C’mon Sara answer the questions!!!!

Actually, TEO, I am a retired fire chief who "chiefed" an "call" department. I'm a life member of the fire Chief's Assn. of Mass, because of that retirement. they had a retirement party for ne and everything...la di da...I'm not sure what your ravings about me have t prove..I am who I am, I'm verifiable with a simple phone cal, from the information given in my bio...

But, like most of your ilk...you attack the person and credibility of those who disagree with your ideas, because you cannot justify your ideas. The concepts are not based in fact, but born of a penchant for distrting fact tofit a preconceived mold. If the truth be told, I simply don't cae if y uagree with me...if I'm completely honest, I'm comforted by having you disagree with me. It makes me feel as if I'm doing something right.

What I'm doing here is simply drawing into perspective the distortions the likes of you leave here...the distortions that ruin an otherwise nice word we live in.

Saying, " not much has been accomplished, a typical day for Sarah." about Sarah Palin is a distortion of fact. She has accomplished alot in her 44 years. It is simply fact.
