You said the accident was her fault(Biden's wife)
Overall I was disappointed in the debate.
Well, I hope you'll all forgive me for not reading the previous 500+ posts. But, I was impressed by Palin. Not because she did great or good (which she did) but... Joe Biden is known as the "great debater". With all of his years of experience on "The Hill" and all his experience debating, I thought he would do better.
I don't care what anyone says. Palin held her own. And if that is due to rehearsing or coaching, I think that's great too. At least we know she's a fast learner! I don't think it will change any votes, either. People who are voting for Obama are voting on him for the same reason they voted for Bill Clinton. He is a dynamic SPEAKER. They love him. Why? I don't know. I haven't personally heard a speech that inspired me either from Obama OR McCain. But, I HAVE been inspired by Palin. I don't think Palin will CHANGE votes. But, I think she will inspire people who wouldn't have voted to vote.
