10/2 Debate: Biden v. Palin

Thursday's debate was somewhat interesting. Biden was confident and well spoken, intensely looking into the moderator's eyes as he spoke. It was touching when he got choked up about raising his sons after his wife died *tear*. Palin, on the other hand, was more informal and looked directly into the camera the whole time. She used lines like "Joe six-pack" and "Say it ain't so, Joe". She was also very quick to pull the parent card by using phrases like "as a parent", and "hockey moms across the world" to drive her arguments. She did do better than I expected her to (though I wasn't expecting much). Overall, I feel that Biden is more suitable for the vice presidency, being the more experienced one who is taken more seriously.
