As a debate scored by points, yes she lost, hands down. I don’t see how she could have won, when Biden knows McCain better than she does. She did what she could and I bet she’s glad it’s over. She definitely is more charming and much easier to look at - she has a professionalism and integrity that you normally don’t find in politics. I hope McCain can step up these final few weeks.
And that's why she won. Perception is reality. Although I thought she did just fine on the issues for a rookie.
“As a debate scored by points, yes she lost, hands down. I don’t see how she could have won, when Biden knows McCain better than she does.”
Maybe you didn’t understand the issues well enough to realize how many mistakes, or misrepresentations, or lies, Biden had in his responses. And on major policy responses. Commentators have counted six to ten already. Some were whoppers and they will get into the news tomorrow, at least the non MSM news.
She won the debate on the issues because she was more factual.
