Biden versus Palin

 That Vice Presidential debate was 10 times more entertaining than the Presidential debate.  Some highlights:
  • Palin winking at the camera.
  • Biden saying "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere".
  • Palin's "gosh darnits".
  • Biden cracking huge smiles whenever Palin delivered a stinger - it was too obvious he was trying to contain his comtempt.
  • Palin saying that Biden's wife's deeds will be "rewarded in heaven" - I don't know about anybody else, but I thought that was an obvious sting at Biden trying to get him to lose his cool.  Biden's first wife had died in an accident and it was an extremely difficult time for him.
  • Biden almost melting down talking about his family - he needs to go there more, that's what he needs to overcome the Palin charm.
As predicted, Biden concentrated on the facts and his experience, while Palin used her charm to connect to people.  One thing that Palin has going for her is that expectations were low for her, so the fact that she not just held her own but did pretty well worked greatly for the McCain campaign.  I think most of us have probably already decided who we'll be voting for.  At this point, it's up to the media to affect the outcome of the debate to sway the undecided voter.
