"and I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper"

Biden was the clear winner, he came off as much more presidential and knowledgeable. But Palin didn't crash and burn the way a lot of people were expecting/hoping, so in a sense, she was the winner. Expectations have a lot to do with the perceived winner. Going into the debate, Biden could only lose ground, and Palin could only gain ground. Biden didn't lose any ground, and Palin gained some.

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!

Hee hee. I nearly sprayed my monitor with half-chewed homemade goat cheese when I read that one.
