Palin, Biden spar during debate, Palin wins?

So all of us who watched the debate saw that Joseph Biden was much better at raw facts and figures. However, I doubt anyone cares. Because in the most watched VP debate in history, people were not tuning in to see Joe Biden. They wanted to see Sarah Palin. After some well publicized gaffes in major interviews, the choice of Sarah Palin was starting to be questioned. However, there were no significant mistakes by Sarah Palin this time around (Biden really didn't have any either), and her folksy attitude, evident from her first miked comment of "can I call you Joe", provided a favorable contrast to Biden's overly academic tone.

While most will probably say Biden as far as arguments go, "won" the debate. Don't be surprised when the polls indicate the opposite, as Sarah Palin once again emerged as a breath of fresh air (basically the conservative Barack Obama except with a little more new car sheen) and certainly showed an adequate knowledge of the issues.

The next debate between McCain and Obama is only three days away, it will be quite interesting to see what the short turnaround has on the polls.
