The Great Debate

Soooo.....what does one make of the Great Debate? Not much, unfortunately. I was really looking forward to either Biden or Palen talking themselves into the world of idiocy-but they didn't. Joe was on his best behavior, kept his answers fairly short and stuck to attacking McCain's tired old politics. On the other side, Sarah didn't come off looking like a total airhead although her effort to look like 'the rest of us' got a little old, stuck to the answers McCains' guys fed her and even managed to look like she had a clue as to what she was talking about.
All in all, Sarah probably came out with the most to gain because everyone was looking for her to screw up so all she had to do was stick to the script.
The bottom line about these debates is they don't really change any minds nor will they sway the undecided voter simply because I don't think there's anywhere near as many undecided voters as pollsters think. Hold the election tomorrow!
