Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin hit a puck right out of the arena with her debate performance Thursday evening against Democrat Senator Joe Biden. Palin's strong support for drilling in the U.S. and for a continuing strong military response in the war on Islamo-fascism, coupled with a down-to-earth persona, made her the clear debate victor.
Senator Biden, on the other hand, produced at least a couple of memorable gaffes. The first was on Iran: "They are not close to getting a nuclear weapon that can be deployed." And the second was actually connecting "record of change" with his running mate Barack Obama. Oh? You mean the same Barack Obama who didn't stand up for change against the corrupt Chicago political machine? And the same Barack Obama who community organized with ACORN, a radical group that shakes down banks for subprime loans to credit risky individuals?
Maybe NBC's Tom Brokaw summed it up best: "I think the Democrats are glad there is only one vice presidential debate."
