Palin is winning hugely, and Gwen the moderator is seeing her book sales drop.

His fake tearing up at his son....PLEASE.. Sarah did well on this debate and showed knowledge..But Biden just used MASS QUANITY to overwhelm her...She missed a dozen oppertunities to DESTROY BIDEN.. She didn’t defend Capitalism...Argue against Global Warming..or talk about Biden’s Gaffes on Coal....She was too meek...Didn’t Attack she’s acting too much like McCain. Trying to be too friendly with the ENEMIES!! I think she did well but at best a TIE.

“I don’t think there are many people on FR (and we have a bunch of very sharp people here) who could switch places with Sarah on that stage and not have a meltdown from the stress.”

Oh, hell... I’m having a meltdown and I’m just WATCHING it!

I keep thinking that Ifill calling Palin “dear” is not going to go over well.

You could tell Joe even knew she connected to the American people because his body language indicated her charm moved him.

I agree with your assessment.

Sarah is still standing her ground.

She is doing more than that. Imagine, this is her first experience at a nationally televised debate. Biden has been around Washington for what - 30 years is it? And had debates against Obama where he disagreed profusely with the big Zer"0".

But, as to Sarah standing her ground...well, she gave those third graders extra credit...Ifil gave us all extra credit...But it is Sarah who deserves the most extra credit for handling this, responding with intelligence, and remaining herself and in touch with Americans. It's called "street smarts," and Sarah is chocked full of that kind of common sense approach and intuition.

I'm watching the debate like every other average American. Biden is being given free reign to say whatever he wants and Palin is not being given a chance to rebut him, either that or she just doesn't know how to rebut him. The fix was in with Ifill being the moderator.

Palin is not coming across with facts, right or wrong, but is trying to connect with people on a more personal level. I would like to see more facts and figures coming from her and it shows her inexperience when dealing with Washington style politics. Is she a good debater, yes, but is she winning this debate, I'm tempted to say no. Sorry folks, but it's what I see.

Yup, my sister in law ( a lib)just left me a message that she is now voting for Mccain/Palin. She said Sarah seemed like a real person and she does not trust Obama!

I agree. Hubby says Biden loves to hear himself talk, and she is talking to the American people.
