I thought Sarah Palin looked like a Caribou caught in the crosshairs for the first half hour, but there were times when she ate Biden's lunch.

Just like John McCain, she found her footing and took off.

I'm not sure why Palin's lapel mic seemed to be the only one on before and after the debate (Can I call you Joe?) .

I was glad that she got in the McCain warning two years ago, regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

It was good she mentioned Obama has voted the Democrat party line 96% of the time, I believe it's more like 97%, that's clearly not bipartisanship.

She scored in our household with...

"Don't live outside our means. We need to make sure that as individuals we're taking personal responsibility through all of this."

When Biden went off about "deregulation", Palin should have reminded Biden that he voted for banking deregulation in 1999 and it was signed into law by Bill Clinton.

Senator Biden you can choose to call it fairness, but it is a redistibution of wealth!

Since 2000, tax cuts have taken 13 million filers off of the income tax rolls. Today, one-third of all filers have no federal income tax liability and nearly 40% of all federal income taxes are now paid by the top 1% of taxpayers (60% by the top 5%).

How's that for fairness?

Biden continues to lie, the AP disproved it last week, about McCain's $5,000 health care tax credit...For most families, that tax credit would for several years be more generous than the current tax break for employer-sponsored health insurance.

Biden was also critical of it going "straight to the insurance company".

Isn't that where you buy insurance?

I thought Biden's response to the question of "what promises have you and your campaigns made to the American people that you're not going to be able to keep?"

Biden: "Well, the one thing we might have to slow down is a commitment we made to double foreign assistance. We'll probably have to slow that down."

Biden then went on to talk about how they wouldn't implement any of McCain's campaign proposals?

Joe Biden gaffe...John McCain said as early as last December, quote -- I'm paraphrasing

You can't paraphrase a quote and the scientific community is united in that fact, maybe he meant plagiarizing?

On energy, Biden and Obama mouth that we need to drill domestically, but as Palin pointed out...

"Barack Obama and Sen. Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf".

Biden lied when talking about clean coal technology..."I have always supported it. That's a fact".

He said his comments regarding in Ohio were taken out of context, you be the judge...

"No coal plants here in America," he said. "Build them, if they're going to build them, over there. (Meaning China) Make them clean."

"We’re not supporting clean coal," he said of himself and Obama.

She came close to my point yesterday, Debate Day, when she called Biden out for supporting the war and then opposing it and even got in Biden's face with the fact it was a war resolution.

I find it odd that Democrats have trouble waging war against people that are trying to kill us, al-Qaeda, but have no trouble committing Americans into battle in places like Darfur.

I loved Palins closing statement...

I like being able to answer these tough questions without the filter, even, of the mainstream media kind of telling viewers what they've just heard. I'd rather be able to just speak to the American people like we just did.

And it's so important that the American people know of the choices that they have on November 4th.

I want to assure you that John McCain and I, we're going to fight for America. We're going to fight for the middle-class, average, everyday American family like mine.

I've been there. I know what the hurts are. I know what the challenges are. And, thank God, I know what the joys are, too, of living in America. We are so blessed. And I've always been proud to be an American. And so has John McCain.

We have to fight for our freedoms, also, economic and our national security freedoms.

It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children's children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.

We will fight for it, and there is only one man in this race who has really ever fought for you, and that's Sen. John McCain.

Chris mentioned several times that Biden is good at talking, it must be that 35 years of experience in the U.S. Senate where all they do is talk, and she couldn't keep up with all the figures flowing from his lips.

Well, figures lie and liars figure!
