John,

You don't show where these results came from, I'm guessing Drudge, but just so you know... They don't jive with other knows sources, even the neocon friend, Faux News Poll has Biden 60/40.

[Brian H. Chesser]

I viewed the debate as a tie. The interesting area of the debate for me is that the moderator Gwen Ifill of the National Public Radio has vested in the outcome of this election by way of a book that is scheduled for release in January. The books is titled "The Breakthrough: Poltics and Race in the Age of Obama". The age of Obama is that like B.C. , A.D. now we have A.O.? Palin did well against a stacked deck.

This was the best statement of the debate, speaks volumes of the Obama administration

Barack Obama indicated to me he wanted me with him to help him govern. So every major decision he'll be making, I'll be sitting in the room to give my best advice.

Senator Joe Biden

You betcha!!!!

Jim --

If you saw tonight's debate, you saw Governor Sarah Palin give a spirited defense of the same disastrous policies that have failed us for the past eight years.

She couldn't identify a single area where she or John McCain would change George W. Bush's economic or foreign policy positions.

If you want something different, Barack and I need your help.

Will you make a donation of $250 or more right now to bring about the change we need?

The change we need is fixing this broken economy from the bottom up -- not tax breaks for the wealthy and huge corporations that ship U.S. jobs overseas. We need to focus on defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban and restoring America's standing in the world -- not an unending commitment in Iraq.

Let's be clear: Governor Palin and Senator McCain are offering nothing but more of the same failed Bush policies at home and abroad, trying to disguise them in the rhetoric of change.

Americans need real solutions and real change.

We're in this together and there's a lot to do before Election Day. Please make a donation of $250 or more right now to support this campaign for change:

https://donate.barackobama.com/changeweneed

This is the most important presidential election you'll be part of in your life.

Thank you for all that you're doing.

Now let's get to work and change this country,

Joe

Here is how Joe described the debate in an email.

Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know that Biden will be giving Barack his best advice should they win?

When is the last time he was right about something BTW?

How many votes did he get in the Democrats primaries?

Let's hope he remembers his Alzheimer's disease meds before doing so

[Joseph Burkeson, CMI]

Sounds like the 2-Mikeys are a bit worried, your guy still has two debates to redeem himself but if he blows next Tuesday it is most likely over, thing is though Obama appears to be daily pulling away in the polls.

Whatever the McCain camp is doing right now does not appear to be working, better start dishing the dirt if you guys don't want to get deluged by the Obama/Biden Tsunami.

[Jeffrey S. Campbell]

That statement proves that Nobama is NOT ready (if he ever would be) to lead this country... I thought Palin did a great job... Biden was not bad but the Governor came out on top...

[Michael Larson]

What, me worry Joey?

Palin clearly won last night by holding her own against the gaffe prone fact bending Biden.

McCain could have wrapped up this election by voting against the bailout bill and simply stating that he voted no because of the pork contained in it. He would have enshrined his maverick status and demonstrated his ability to use his veto pen as president. A total lost opportunity IMHO.

Why he chose to support with his vote when his voted wasn't needed is beyond me.

There is either something they are not telling us or he's just another politician.

It speaks very poorly for the VPILF when "victory" is defined as merely "holding her own", but I won't argue with you.

After a whole week of "You betchas" and having her lunch eaten by the likes of the impish Katie Couric, anything short of a total meltdown had to come as a relief to those with no choice but to support her.

With all the hype over Biden's debate prowess and the low expectations set for Palin that's all she had to do to "win".
She did considerably better than that.
Get over it.

Not everyone in Washington should sound like a East Coast Liberal.

She relates well to most of the country and that drives the "elite" MSM nuts.
