I was in Cincinnati last evening where I watched the debate. The consensus, among the Republicans I was with, was that Palin crushed Biden. I think she did well, held her own and came out looking confident. That's where Biden lost.
After thirty years in the United States Senate Biden should have been able to handle a mere mayor of a hick town from a nowhere state with ease. His demeanor should have been enough to show why a moose hunting, gun toting, bible thumping conservative broad isn't qualified to be one heart beat away from the presidency.
He rarely spoke to the TV audience and grinned at her while she spoke like a guy that just found out something embarrassing in a crowded party. Either that or smirking hyena trying to bluff his way out of a fight he thinks he's going to lose. Maybe both.
Late last night and this morning local radio hosts were speaking to women and independents that stated Palin had won them over. On WLW 700, 58% of the respondents said that Palin had won while the local over-nights said that Biden had won.
Personally, I think Biden edged her by a bit in the debate. It is in this fact that Biden has diminished himself giving Palin and McCain more momentum.
Jabbering Joe brought a mouth to a cat fight where he tried to out joe-sixpack a governor from a fly-never state. He was out matched.
