9:03 PM … “Can I call you Joe.” That was actually well done. Cosmetic, yes. But still good optics.

9:04 PM … Biden’s strategy seems to be not to look at anybody.

9:06 PM … Oversight? McCain for greater oversight? Just a few days ago, Palin got stumped when asked for any example of McCain being for any kind of oversight.

9:10 PM … Really hoping that Biden comes back at McCain’s record of always being for lax oversight … He’s sort of doing it here, but not really driving the point home …

9:13 PM … Palin repeats the $42,000 dollar a year tax increase lie.

9:14 PM … Now, this is a Joe Biden I can believe in.

9:17 PM … Palin, lie, lie, lie …

9:18 PM … Isn’t this government out of the way line in a bit of tension with Palin’s call for tighter regulation?

9:21 PM … Hmmm. That was pretty good on Biden’s part and he’s getting into his rhythm. But there were a lot of numbers flying around in that health care answer.

9:24 PM … Wait, Palin undid what was done in 2005 Energy Bill? Really?

9:45 PM … Someone go back and see how Palin said the economic crisis was a toxic mess on Main Street that was threatening to spill over to Wall Street.

9:51 PM … Spain!

9:56 PM … Very solid from Biden.

9:56 PM … Wo … what happened with the nuclear weapons answer?

10:00 PM … Did Palin just get the name wrong of the top US General in Afghanistan?
