Biden/Palin debate
Who won the debate?
I’d probably call it a near draw, with a slight advantage to Biden, assuming we saw a debate that was on a level playing field.
Since it was anything but a fair debate, with the media setting the tone in advance by using the Michael Moore school of creative editing to make Palin look like a moron, and with a totally unbiased moderator (that incidentally doesn’t have a book about one of the candidates set for release in the near future) , I’d have to say that Palin won on points. There wasn’t a knockout though.
I noticed, unless it happened during the 10 minutes or so I was out of earshot, that our totally unbiased moderator failed to ask any questions on border control, immigration or “gun control”
Also, I’m looking for, and will actively link to, obvious GOP supporting blogs that say Biden won, or clear Obama supporting blogs that favor Palin. So far I haven’t found any.

She also didn’t ask about abortion, campaign finance reform, social security, or the trade deficit. Some issues are just dead issues this time around.

Good point, Palin is out of step with the beliefs of most women on abortion, although I don’t really know Biden’s stance.
