Palin did a much better job this time. She looked directly at the camera instead of Biden and this is definitely a better way to communicate with her important audience. However, she was trying to avoid the topics she didn't prepare for and kept on going back to the energy issue on which, you can tell from her eyes, she was very confident. When Biden pointed out Senator McCain supported deregulation, Palin responded by saying, I quote, "I'm not finished with the taxes"(well, not so sure if these are the exact words). And there are many other similar cases.
For Biden, I think he presented good management on the issues discussed. He shows his ability to assist Obama as a vice president. Also, I like the way he organized his arguments point by point. It's easier for me to follow and it sounds rational and clear.

Palin does seem to be the kind to be vague on an issue and state contradiction, but what else is new with politicians? I think that Biden fit the office better than Palin on his experience alone, and I think this debate reflected this.
Agree. Usually vice president debate is not a big deal but this year is different since Biden is such an experienced washinton politican and Palin is such a controversial person.
