Joe BLOW Biden is typical Washington, a smooth b.s.er who thinks because he says something is so ... is so. He is being matched or outmatched by a newby who is just what America needs!

She needed to attack Obama hard, and she has so far totally failed to do that. Biden has thrown several high, hanging curve-balls and she has completely whiffed on them.

Just one recent example, Biden repeated his gaffe from last week where he claims Bush recently sent a high official to Europe to meet with iran. That did not happen. And sending intermediaries to talk is neither a new policy nor is it at all what Obama has advocated. He has promised to personally meet, without precondition, with people like Ahmadinijad. She did not hammer him on that.

My bigger problem is the first few topics, though, where she was clearly sent to carry an awful message - me-too liberal republicanism denouncing the rich and calling for more regulation.

"Dare I say Sarah comes off as presidential? She is holding her own against a three-decade Senator known for his stentorious bloviation."

My hubby said the same. He says, if Sarah had the years of experience in government that Biden has had, he wouldn't be able to stay on the stage with her. Ha.

She doesn’t seem nervous and forced to me. Confident, looks the camera in th eeye, and Biden too. Talks fast but crisply. Fast thinker. Too many platitudes and too few names named, but that’s politics.

Did he just say “Bosniacs” or did I misunderstand?

That sigh Biden made 5 minutes ago from shear desperation was priceless.

On CNN they have a moving graph showing favorable/unfavorable response by uncommitted Ohio voters.
Biden seems to be scoring better with this group than Sarah. She gets some bump but he seems to have a wider and stronger appeal.
Very disturbing. But it is a CNN set of stats and I don’t know as I trust it entirely.

Yes she did hit a nerve, also when she corrected Biden about what the general in Afghanistan said about the strategy there, and she named the general.

Biden's reply, "uh, well, uh that's what he said."

I hope the country is seeing this in HD. Biden looks downright scary and Sarah looks absolutely captivating. In non-HD Biden doesn’t look as bad and Sarah doesn’t look as good, but she waaay better than Joe tonight.

Palin isn’t a shrinking violet or playing the “I’m a girl card”. She has said “I’m an outsider”.

She isn’t the airhead that the Left has been trying to pin her as.

She can shore up on the political arguments. And she has wrongly conceded some points of Liberal BullStalin or not responded forcefully enough.

These are short answers.
