Why do you think they call it the Washington Com-Post?
Sure. And Nixon beat Kennedy.
If the Compost calls it a tie, then it’s a Republican win.
If CNN said it was a tie, then Biden lost.

Thank you
Ok so in liberal land, up is down, win is tie....do you think they will ever put out a conversion chart so we can keep up?*sarcasm*
I watched it with great interest, and I thought that Sarah won, but that most determined liberals would not admit it.
Joe Biden lied repeatedly, but no one called him on it, and as we have often seen, those kinds of lies don’t bother moonbats. They think it’s a liberal’s duty to lie, if necessary, for the Cause.
Joe Biden was also caught repeatedly with a mean, nasty expression on his face. He’d be smiling, and then the smile would transform into a hateful scowl, and then back again to a smile. Sarah just looked natural and likeable the whole time.
But moonbats also think that you SHOULD be mean and nasty for the CAUSE. They do it all the time. So it doesn’t bother them a bit.
What might have bothered them was incompetence. Joe had one moment when he stumbled and was petrified, but it was only a moment. He was obviously prepped with the questions, and had his lies all ready to go. Once or twice he started to answer even before the question was finished. So, in the moonbat view, he did the job and defended the One.
To quote a WND columnist: "She field dressed the guy."
Palin absolutely won..and thank goodness because I think Obama had the edge in the first one with McCain.
Notice how the focus of this ‘debate” has become focused on everything Sarah did, and NOTHING Biden did? None of Biden’s gaffs are mentioned, his Gaff about naming the wrong constitutional amendment, his outright LIE about where he was born, his demeanor- the awful scowl he had during his many sudden mood swings.
The media tries to suggest that ‘the bar’ was set very low for Palin, but they don’t mention that it didn’t even exist for Biden, or try say it was much higher, which is a joke.
Overall, Palin did very well. She was confident, spoke clearly and presented her goals of real ‘change’ in Washington, while with Biden it’s just more of the same, which is what Obama confirms as well, flip flopping away from his message of “change” he began his campaign with, blaming a souring economy for the reason he can’t do anything.
Do NOT believe any poll that says Gov. Palin didn’t win or the debate was a tie. Those are All Lying Liberal Polls.
Gov. Palin blew Biden away. This debate will turn around the election and ensure a victory for the Great McCain-Palin ticket.
Sarah took names (May I call you Joe?) and then kicked butt!
Biden lost; he lied 10 to 20 times during the debate.
“Who won last night’s vice presidential debate?”
Who won really boils down to which America you live in.
If your America is the laughing stock of the “citizens of the world,” well then your candidate won.
But if your America is the greatest nation on the planet, with the worlds most exquisite all volunteer military and millions of patriotic citizens, that hunt, fish, camp, attend Boy/Girl Scout weekends, and that love their country, communities, and churches...then Governor Palin won!!!!
Pretty simple.
Depends how you score it.
The most important scoring method is style, judged with a view to connecting to the average voter. Palin won it in a walk on that standard.
If one scores it the way policy debate in HS and college is scored, Biden blew her away. Under that system, if you lie and you opponent doesn’t call you on it, you get the points for ‘establishing’ a ‘fact’.
Midway is the way ‘off-topic’ debate between colleges is scored, where style, argumentation, and getting ‘facts’ through unchallenged all matter about equally. There’s a good argument calling it a draw on that standard.
Of course, one can also score it based on how many ‘actionable’ gaffes were committed that could be used in commercials by the opposition. On that standard, again Palin won fairly handily.
BIDEN ......28% ...123,098
PALIN ......70% ...303,941
NEITHER .. 2% .......7,732
Total Votes: 434,771
For CNN, a Republican win is a tie.
That being said, i got up this morning, kissed my wife like I haven't done in awhile, went outside, the birds were singing, the sky was blue, the flowers seemed like they were blooming again and it appeared the grass was mowing itself. (ok, it didn't but I just finished mowing it) Go Sarah, now punch Couric in the face, figuratively though.
