Palin to Biden: "I do respect your years in the U.S. Senate, but I think Americans are craving something new and different"
The highly anticipated match-up promised more than the usual drama because of curiosity about Sarah Palin, a relative unknown who was thrust into instant celebrity when she was selected as McCain's No. 2 in August. The encounter have drawn a larger television audience than the 52 million who watched last week's first debate between the presidential candidates. Again Sarah Palin won in term of viewership and ratings tonight.
Joe Biden said the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street he voted for, along with Obama and McCain, might force the Democrats to reconsider their promise to double foreign aid.
"The one thing we might have to slow down is a commitment we made to double foreign assistance," he said when asked what programs might have to be jettisoned because of the financial crisis.
Palin said there was nothing she and McCain would have to forego. "There hasn't been a whole lot that I've promised, except to do what is right for the American people," she said. "I don't believe that John McCain has made any promise that he would not be able to keep, either."
According to Michelle on Michelle Malkin.com:
"Sarah Palin is the real deal. Five weeks on the campaign trail, thrust onto the national stage, she rocked tonight’s debate. She was warm, fresh, funny, confident, energetic, personable, relentless, and on message. She roasted Obama’s flip-flops on the surge and tea-with-dictators declarations, dinged Biden’s bash-Bush rhetoric, challenged the blame-America defeatism of the Left, and exuded the sunny optimism that energized the base in the first place. McCain has not done many things right. But Sarah Palin proved tonight that the VP risk he took was worth it. Her performance also underscored the underhandedness of the hatchet job editors at ABC News and CBS News, which failed to capture her solid competence on the whole array of foreign and domestic policy issues on the debate table tonight. (I didn’t care for all the “greed” rhetoric, but I understand they are trying to appeal to independents and Dems. They’re trying to win the election.)"
