The debate is only 75% over. Based on just the VP an P debates, I've been more impressed with Biden/Palin than McCain/Obama.
Both of them tonight have done a much better job than the last guys. I also think the MOD did a much better job. The only thing that pisses me off is the MOD let both of them refuse to directly answer how the financial crisis would effect their tax an spending plans.
Both of them bypassed the question, same as McCain an Obama did last week.
Out of all the questions in the debate, to me this is the most important one an neither party has been up front or honest with the answer.
I'm sure the Obama fans will have their own complains, the one which stands out for me is Biden making the false McCain gave tax breaks to big oil. This has nothing to do with Big Oil it's actually based on general reduction in corp taxes, which is something I believe in. Obama/Biden call it a oil tax cut because it's a hot-button keyword. I think it's pretty bad Biden fell back on this same point when all the fact check stories called it wrong or misleading when Obama did the same thing last time. Just as misleading as throwing out the gross income of Oil companies in stead if net profits, which would me the more honest number to focus on.

I wish fox would have had the real time audience indicator like the last debate, I found watching it during the answers very enlightening.

For the Obama fans, even though we have major disagreements, I'm very curious to hear how you think Palin did. Also would you agree they both did better than the other guys last week?

So, apparently Todd Palin runs Alaska.

Sarah’s sister gets in a divorce battle with a state trooper, and Todd tries to get him fired. The Commissioner doesn’t fire him, so Sarah fires the commissioner.

LMAO

For some odd reason they keep leaving out the part of the story where the person who's responsible for the Governors security is the who told Todd to go to the safety commissioner to get it on the record. This was after the security chief heard the trooper had threated to kill Palin's dad.
Changes the story just a little bit don't you think.
BTW did you notice this story went nowhere, just like I said it would.

I'm sure the initial reply will be....
The only reason the story hasn't gone anywhere is because Palin has stonewall.
While this is true you have to look a why Palin an company suddenly stonewalled the investigation.
They were completely open an willing to talk to the independent investigator. That was right up until the Chairman of the investigation who just happens to be a Democrat, proclaimed her guilty before the investigation had even started.
Monegan the safety commissioner is now on the record saying he thought the discussion about Wooten was only Palin venting over Wooten's superiors not removing him. Monegan goes on to say Palin nor anyone else in her staff ever told him to fire Wooten.
Most importantly, the only reason this is even an issue is because it involves Palin. If a private citizen would have got to Monegan over the same matter there would be no story. Same as if Palin fired Monegan for any other reason because he serves in a position appointed by the Governor. Which means she is able and has the right to fire him even without cause. The Governor has complete discretion when it comes to who serves in that position.
