After watching the debate last night, (because The Office wasn't on) I think I came to the same conclusion everyone else did. They both did alright. If you were an Obama/Biden supporter you probably thought Biden did a good job, and that Palin went off topic too much. If you were a McCain/Palin backer, you probably thought that Palin said exactly what she needed to and Biden went off topic too much. Neither V.P. candidate probably swayed any undicided voters, or pulled votes accross the party lines.
I did think there were some differences though. Palin had these same talking points that all of the neocons have, and when ever she was asked anything, she would look down to the cue cards and say, "Iraq, terrorism, or war hero," and spout out what ever was on the top cue card, regardless of the question, no matter how akward. Biden had his talking points written on cue cards also, but he shuffled his around to answer the question at hand.
One thing that I thougt interesting was their debate on global warming. Palin said what she has been trained to say, that there is cyclical climate change, and always has been. But Biden got a big jab on the republicans here:
