VP debate exactly as predicted.

[ciphergoth]

Biden - scrupulously refers to "Gov. Palin" throughout, even correcting himself when giving full names of both tickets. Attacks only the top of the ticket. Mostly ignores Palin.

Palin - does not explode, quickly forces every question into one of her pre-rehearsed talking points. Disconnect between what she's asked and what she says sometimes breathtaking, but of course many won't notice.

Right-wing pundits - make "ha ha" noises at her failure to actually explode

Undecided voters - those who express a preference break 2:1 for the Dems.

Glad I didn't actually watch it, really. Though I've watched snippets. Anyone got any snippets they recommend actually watching?

I was pretty impressed that at least in the beginning the moderator would ask her after she spoke whether she would like to address [insert original question topic here]

there was the bit where biden referred to the bridge to nowhere\

then there was the bit where she tried to call having a timeline to leave iraq 'a white flag of surrender' which unfortunately he didn't call her on.

oh, and there was also the gay marriage question.

Her favourables with the CNN focus group dropped like a stone at the "white flag" line, so Biden probably made the right call just leaving it there...
