VP Debate

Much to our amazement, we watched the whole vice-presidential debate tonight. We usually totally avoid that sort of thing - but I guess it was sort of like slowing down to see if there's been a train wreck. And we had to say that Palin did quite well during the debate - certainly didn't commit any egregious errors. She still says "EYE-raq" and "EYE-ran" and (shudder) "noo-cuh-lar", though. In our opinion, not surprisingly, there was no question about Biden's "winning" the debate, though, based on knowledge, delivery, experience, answers, etc.

Overall impression from this corner: Democrats - disappointed that Palin didn't implode; Republicans - breathing a sign of relief that Palin didn't implode.
