First question: I thought Biden won the debate. Palin's expectations were set so low that the only way she could possibly have blown the debate was by vomiting or fainting on stage - which she didn't. I didn't think she swayed any independent voters her way or dissuade any fears people might have about her being second in command to a 72 year old man.

Second question: I think Obama/Biden are going to win. Yes, that's my choice - but I think the climate is overwhelmingly anti-incumbent. I can't but help think of Bush 41, who was so strong on foreign policy but perceived as weak on the domestic front during a period of recession. McCain - who I believe is a decent man and a dedicated American - hasn't quite had his "how much is gallon of milk" moment but his statements about the economy being his weak subject have come back to haunt him.

i'm in agreement with scott here.. biden definately won, polls show so. she / palin was energetic, but totally avoided the questions asked of them... she even admitted she was not to answer the questions asked, wink, wink.(what was up with the winking into the camera.). i'm going to add that all 3 debates went the way of obama/biden ticket. that guy...people are worrying about their future, and i truly do not belief that they want 4 more years of the same. palin is becoming a liability for the republican ticket. yesterday, she was found guilty of betraying the trust of the people of alaska.. i don't know if i want someone who abuses thier power that close to the presidency..
anytime you talk about politics you are going to wrangle up someone. this is just a discussion, so let,s try to be civil.. oh ya, mccain is even regretting going there....
