I am only watching the first 30 minutes, as I have a Cubs game to watch.

But Palin is already bettering expectations. But man, she only knows talking points. But she is good at spouting taxing points.

****UPDATE I****: My Palin paraphrase: "I won't answer the questions the way you want, because I don't know the answers. I only know talking points."

****UDPATE II****: Palin just blatantly lied about Sen. Obama's healthcare plan. It absolutely is NOT run by the government. Not even close.

****UPDATE III****: My initial general thoughts. Gov. Palin is good at talking points, but again, that is all she knows. Sen. Biden sounds extremely knowledgeable, while Gov. Palin sounds like she only knows what she has been told. And that she is a hockey mom.

****UPDATE IV****: Palin sounds very, very scripted. Which is why she is rushed. She has lines memorized, and she is rushing through them.

****UPDATE V****: She is refusing to answer every question. I do not think that she has answered a question yet.

****UPDATE VI****: Biden quote of the night? "If you don't know what the cause is, it is impossible to come up with the solution." Nice.

Alright... this is probably the end of my updates. I will probably watch the rest later.
