Na medida em que Sarah Palin não cometeu nenhuma gaffe, a sua prestação foi um sucesso. A governadora do Alaska usou uma linguagem popular e procurou estabelecer-se como uma campeã da classe média, mas voltou ou a não responder às perguntas directamente ou a recorrer de forma demasiado óbvia a talking points. Diversas vezes foi confusa e vaga, com declarações redondas que não se relacionavam com a questão colocada. Terá ajudado o partido porque falou para os conservadores, mas dificilmente terá conseguido alterar o equilíbrio da corrida.
Joe Biden começou mal, falando em termos demasiado burocráticos. Assumiu o controlo do debate com a política externa e teve as melhores respostas da noite nos temas do Iraque, Paquistão, Israel e depois no papel institucional do vice-presidente e ainda na admissão das suas próprias imperfeições. Foi também mais eficaz ao ataque do que a sua adversária -- e sem parecer machista, chauvinista ou paternalista. Em termos de substância, esteve sempre melhor do que Sarah Palin. Mas não é por isso que se ganham debates. Se fosse, a vitória pertencia-lhe por inteiro.

Foi melhor em termos de substância?!!!
Vês muito pouco disto. Biden cometeu pelo menos 8 a 10 erros factuais, grosseros. O piro de todos foi confundir o que o artigo da constituição diz sobre a divisãod e poderes entre o poder executivo e legislativo. Perorou 3 minutos com base num erro que qualquer estudante de direito constitucionasl americano percebe.
Se fosse coma Palin os media de esquerda iam passar uam semana a chamar-lhe ignorante.
Na questão dos votos do congresso - quem votou com quem e a favor do quê - as respostas de Biden são pura aldrabice - falsas (não há outra expressão para as caracterizar)
Estou certo que estas gaffes e erros não vão ter follow-up - a Imprensa faz o seu trabalhinho de tentar eleger o mais inexperiente e inqualificado candidatoa Presidente e o seu candidato a Vice-Presidente que não passa de um insider que passeia a sua ignorância com ar doutoral.
É só conferir em baixo. Estou certo que a imprensa não vai pegar nisto:
Joe Biden's 14 Lies
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.
