I thought this was the single most telling moment of the debate.
Even more telling than her seeming inability to comprehend some of the questions. I don't have cable and haven't watched any pundits. Are any of them talking about this?

Yep. I've seen CNN and MSNBC discuss this at length. And some Republican official (I didn't recognize him) said, to the effect:
"More powerful VP? I don't think that's possible!"

Posted: 10/2/08 at 11:32pmTell me how McCain tries to fool the American People and speak of change? How can there be change when you brag about agreeing with President Bush 90% of the time and your idiot VP says $hit like this?

Posted: 10/3/08 at 2:55amI loved how Biden schooled her on the Constitution's views of the VP. But, like some Republicans care too much what the Constitution thinks.

"Biden's comments on Cheney was one of the highlights of the debate."
YES!!!! A big ol' smile came to my face when he said that. Thanks Joe for cutting the bullsh*t!

Posted: 10/3/08 at 10:46amI thought the discussion of the role of the VP was her absolute worst moment of the evening. She defended Cheney, advocating for expanded VP powers, then completely misstated the role of the VP in the Senate. Biden corrected her, and called out Cheney for what he is, the most dangerous VP in history.

Hey, she has only been at this for 5 1/2 weeks, what do you expect her to know?
I have a feeling that her initial relatively positive reaction will fade with fact checking and some real analysis of her words.
She just spewed out talking points, hoping that they would make a coherent thought.

"Biden's comments on Cheney was one of the highlights of the debate."
At that point I said "game, set and match Biden".
She was clearly out of her league.
Can anyone here imagine the Palin family residing in Washington, DC at the Naval Observatory?
And with estimated assets above $1M in Alaska, I'm really tired of Gov Palin playing "poor" for the camera.
Just wait...she's required to disclose those finances at the federal level soon. The Washington Press Corps will have a feeding frenzy.
A look-see into the Palin's finances

Dangerous and unconstitutional. A good point for Biden.
And does she really know what an Achilles Heel is?
