This was a good one. It probably will change the polling some as Sarah Palin made Joe Biden look very old, entrenched in DC, and an elitist.

When Joe Biden walked on stage, he looked like he had just arrived from the set of the movie “Goodfellas” with his pin-striped suit and what hair he had greased back.

Palin was dressed in black business suit and looked very professional.

Biden seemed angry several times as Palin pushed his buttons. I even caught myself wishing I could reach out and slap the goofy smile off Biden’s face.

If anyone takes anything from this debate, it would be that Joe Biden has the Washington, D.C. view on things, and Sarah Palin gives us a view from Main Street USA.

I am more in line with Main Street. The Washington, D.C. view has not been working too well.

Governor Palin did just fine. There were no major mistakes and she brought a down-home style that was refreshing. Over the next few days, we’ll find out how many mistakes Biden made with all his “numbers.” They will be double digits.

Biden several times talked way too long and ran out of time. He stuttered and stammered many times, just like Obama did in his debate. With Biden’s egotistical view acting like “I am from DC and I’m here to help you” he came across as an elitist.

One time, that was particularly funny, was when Biden even “lowered” himself to say, “I admit I was the first one” about a policy or bill they were debating that he was for.

Gwen Ifill opened the debate by introducing Palin as, “Governor Sarah Palin” and when Biden stepped out, she introduced him as “Joe Biden.” They must be friends. Other than that, Ifill did OK but she should have not been the moderator since she has several thousands of dollars in book royalties riding on an Obama/Biden victory.

One area they did not cover was the second amendment, which Obama and Biden have a track record of wanting to infringe on that right.

All in all it was good debate. Since Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric had cast doubt in voter’s minds with their gotcha questions to Palin, I think we’ll see the polls start turning for McCain/Palin.
