I keep reading that Biden won the debate. Rubbish!! Sarah Palin won hands down and called him out on multiple lies. I would love to see a video clip for each lie. I believe that each of these was stated, but video proof speaks volumes!

I think Palin did better than most people thought she would do. And honestly I was hoping for anything better than her interview with Katie Couric. She did much better than I thought she would do.

I did see her dodge some questions, but I think she was trying to go back to main points that she wanted to get across. They don't give the candidates a lot of time to address any one thing. She would say things like 'I am going to go back to Energy...' because she still had more to say about it. But, it would have been nice to see her stay on point as well with the questions that were asked.

Overall I think Biden and Palin both did well. I am used to candidates not answering questions and exaggerating the truth, it seems to be what most of our politicians become very proficient at these days.

I doubt this will change anyone's mind on who to vote for, but I think Americas perception of Palin will likely be improved from this point forward.

Did you think Palin was a success in the debate?

Personally, I thought it was a bit ridiculous how she didn't answer a lot of the moderator's questions and instead kept talking about certain things like energy. But according to one news reporter, that is a sign of a good debater.

I'm not surprised by the 14 lies...I think it would be hard to keep all the facts straight(especially voting records) under pressure. I'm not defending Biden; I think exaggerations and lies are present in every debate to some extent.
