VP Debate of the Century

A live stream of consciousness blog on the debate:

Palin....Why not couple tax about how Barack's spending increases can't be done without taxing the middle class.

Palin... +5 for mentioning the small businesses that make $250,000.

Palin shouldn't be talking about Obama voting for tax breaks for oil companies. It doesn't resonate with the people that may vote for her.

Why hasn't she mentioned that the tax cuts are about to expire and that Obama doesn't need to raise taxes.... he'll just let the existing ones expire.

Palin... stop talking about greed on Wall Street.

Biden.... Bankruptcy courts can rewrite contracts? (My attorney says yes)

Palin.... stay on the oil drilling.

Palin... nooooo not climate change.... a bit of a rambling answer... good point to mention that we produce the cleanest energy and if we don't produce, another country will.

Biden... isn't "funding alternative energy" corporate welfare... obama was against coal and nuclear.

Palin... stay on the drilling and energy. she's doing better here.

Both....capping carbon emissions..... nooooo.... you can't support global warming and cheap gasoline prices.

Biden... doesn't support gay marriage, but everything but. Palin gives a good answer here.

Palin... is getting better with foreign policy. Either she is more comfortable with the topic or she is getting less nervous.

The foreign policy has delved into a rehash of the standing political talking points.

She's good when she talks about what she's done or is doing as governor.

Biden will baby Obama on foriegn policy. "I'll be sitting in the room"

Palin fits in the executive experience.

What's your biggest weakness. It is a job interview! Good for Palin for ignoring the question. Gwen doesn't pick the winner. Biden's biggest weakness is his excessive passion. "I work to hard" "I'm too much of a team player"

Can both of them stop saying "maverick."

Biden picks to rebork Judge Bork.

Both closed pretty well. Palin didn't blow Biden out of the water, but she held her own against a very veteran senator. End result - draw.
