She tried like hell on that health care response, but God, Biden just eviscerated her. Never throw a 1.5 year governor in the pen with a 30+ year veteran. This isn't a debate, it's a snack.

Palin appears to be doing well until you remember that she is almost totally disregarding the questions posed to her.

I wonder if "main street America" is smart enough to pick up on this or if it will fall in love with her good looks and colloquial speech.

Because this has been the Dems vision for at least the past decade, and if you think most people are "doing fine" you've been living in a cave.

I wondered about that too...but Biden reminded me of the taxing of the plans for those that have company paid insurance.

Biden is nailing policy issues, Palin is charming the dickens out of the audience and still sounding credible.

I admittedly did not follow politics much this year, but Palin is getting creamed from what I can tell.

Her shamelessness in avoiding the questions is unbelievable.

I don't think it was wise for her to point out that she has only been on the campaign for five weeks.
