Early in the debate, I was getting the uneasy feeling FOR her that I got in her interviews with Couric. She picked up speed, and did well projecting who she is.
However, she skirted a lot of questions, going back to the "known" whereas Biden answered the questions that were asked, with knowledge that you don't get from being coached.
I did not expect the show of emotion from Biden, and I did not know about his family and his tragedy. That was important to me: Palin is painted as the be-all, end-all of parenting, and you don't hear a lot about the other candidate's family lives.
I thought it was a good debate. I was impressed with the class shown by both candidates. Biden was the clear winner to me, however, and I thought he was outstanding.
Oh, and what Bri said...
Oh, and lol at Ibby!
