Originally Posted By WorldDisney Well, just finished watching it. Yes, I thought Biden did very well, he was good at giving SPECIFICS and straight up facts and was consistent throughout the whole thing. He clearly won, hands down! I thought Palin did fine as well, but yeah, the folksy stuff doesnt side with me personally, but I'm guessing shes not talking to me . But she did avoid MANY questions in the end and kept going back to her talking points, but yes overall she did well. But Biden did VERY well tieing McCain with Bush IMO. But overall, neither did any big slip ups, Palin didnt have any crazy super incoherent answers and Biden didnt piss anyone off lol. So, a good debate for both sides!
