Give me a fucking break. By what measure? That she was thought to be a neanderthal and she turned out to be a cro-magnon? Yeah, that's some win. Talk about lowered expectations. Whoopee! She didn't drool or break wind! Jesus H.Christ people we're talking about the frigging presidency here and you think this brittle woman is the best the Republican party has? Have you actually tried to picture her in a room with Vladimir Putin? By all legitimate measures Biden won the debate by a margin of 2 to 1. End of story.

I was saying that this morning. The bar was set so low as far as expectations go...just because she was able to hop over it is no cause for celebration.

I heard lots of idiotic statements coming out of her mouth and she definitely did not win any "charm" points from me. I lost count of how many questions she didn't even bother to answer. She used her "energy" to stay on message and say the same things she been saying for the last five weeks. No plan. No answers. And she was looking to the past just as often as Biden was...albeit further back than the most recent path the country has been on.

As far as the debate goes, Biden was the hands down winner.

In a political class that has produced so many mediocre candidates, she stands out for exceptional mediocrity, if that makes any sense.

I'm happy for America that it looks like you may actually elect an intelligent and dignified President this time around.

I am in a hotel, and was just in the lobby eating breakfast.

FOX News was on. I don't watch television, period. I've heard (and read) that Fox is biased. But I've never seen it.

OMFG. Rudy Giulianni is on there saying how she won the debate - how Biden is a quintessential Washington insider focused on problems and no solutions. That Sarah Palin speaks directly to the people exactly how they like to be spoken to.

I had to leave. It was disgusting.

People were sitting around the lobby drooling over themselves and smiling. It made me sick.

I am in the "heart" of Florida - Ocala. I know, I know (I'm only like 20 minutes from The Villages) but still...

they should have had The Weather Channel on in the lobby.

MR - I totally agree. WHat in the hell would it be like for us as a nation to have her representing us with anyone? Kaz or someone said she is "our Margaret Thatcher" - give me a break. Maggie Thatcher has more class and brains in THE CORN ON HER TOE than Sarah Palin has.

Yes, by all legitimate measure Biden won hands down.

Then there was the winking. Don't forget that ludicrous ploy. Does she really think repeatedly flirting with the camera like a junior high student is how to appear "Presidential?"

As someone else has noted: "I expected her to pop her chewing gum next."

just one time and he would send her out of the room to get him a cup of coffee.

Who won the VP debate?

Not quite 2 to 1 in this poll of over 600,000 people, but clearly Biden was the winner.

like Bush, Palin crams well for the test, and since cons were fooled not once, but twice by Bush, it's understandable they would do it again with Palin/McCain.

God almighty! That is so true!

Biden 46%

Palin 21%

He must have been referring to post-stroke Maggie.

This is my favorite part of the election campaign. This is when the Dems (LIbs) start their intellectual and elitist crap and try to alienate the majority of Americans! I was worried that some had learned from their past mistakes but alas it has come full circle. Get your popcorn ready!

I see where the california governor (a republican) told washington his state needs 7 billion cash in the next few weeks. you'd better hope january brings the adults back into power.

Ahhhh California...aren't they a BLUE state? Now if you had said TEXAS I might give some credability to your statement and worry my pretty lil head over it.

I thought Texas was a Mexican State...
