Palin doesn't throw out canned answers??? Really??! We just saw 90 minutes of canned answers (tho' often answers NOT to the questions asked...) She does 'em well, but sadly such a prescribed debate format did nothing to demonstrate an ability to think on his/her feet or intellectual curiosity. These seem two qualities we want in a team running a world power. She showed a lack of both in the interviews, but wasn't challenged at all in this debate.
To digress for a moment....why is "folksy" considered "real"? Why is "folksy" more "real" than, well, "not folksy"??
Okay, I'm back - why wasn't Palin required to actually answer the questions asked? And a REALLY scary point that she should've been called on immediately -- do we really want Palin to EXPAND the powers of the VP beyond the Constitution-breaking bounds Cheney has already demolished??
My respect for Biden increased, my lack of respect for her likewise increased. Sadly I think because she didn't overtly flub her lines and was allowed to recite dogma without challenge, she will handed a "victory."

She did well, but by avoiding all content. In this forum, no one was able to say, "Yes, but can you name one ---" so she could just recite patriotic talking points. Hopefully we can now get the focus off of her, as this is nothing but a distraction from the major issues, which have the McCain campaign running scared.
Running out of Michigan as it turns out. Let's hope that trend continues!
