Well, that was... um... interesting?
Lots of finger pointing. I was happy (as I think everyone here would be) to here about same sex marriages - unfortunately my stream hiccuped at that moment, and when it came back they said they agreed and bam it was a new topic... I did hear Biden say that we should have all the same rights as everyone else, but I didn't get to hear Palin's response.
Anyway, Palin sounded either like a commercial or something from Leave it to Beaver, if she wasn't giving a campaign slogan in place of an answer, she would be using her little 'darn tootin' expressions... it was quite annoying. She only once or twice took a stand for herself, but the rest of the time would say "John McCain is reform, John McCain will... etc..."
Joe Biden on the other was ready with facts, with stats, with proposals that both he and Obama endorse. They did sound alike as they endorsed their running mates, I think Joe Biden included himself more into the equation than Palin did.
It was quite funny how they conformed to the alloted times. When Obama and McCain were debating, they regularly went over the time when trying to finish their points and correcting the other. Here, the moderator said times up, Biden and Palin would just say "oh, okay". I didn't expect that at all.
Anyway, overall Biden came out on top in my opinion. I'm not informed or experienced enough in the issues to know if either of them made any blunders regarding facts, so I'll have to wait until I get to see the Daily Show and CNN tomorrow.
Phew, now tomorrow I'll have to find the Canadian Debate... only a week and a half until Canadians vote.
