Sarah clearly won the ALSO debate. Biden was factual and boring, she was also sparkling fresh, and as also folksy as also Bush used to be.

Well, she didn't fall flat on her face, which is what I was hoping to see, but she certainly gave a lot of non-answers and rabbit-trailed off into "folksy" patter that had absolutely no real content. Irritating to listen to if you want a real answer to a question, but it does appeal to her "base". Certainly can't pin the "intellectual elitist" label on her.
>>"Getting knocked out has its advantages."
I guess Joe missed his chance then, because she didn't even wing him, much less knock him out. She did manage to stay on her feet to the end though, doing better than I expected going in.

She spoke more to idiot America, with a cheerful, emotionally charged, do-gooder attitude that people love. And its true that America votes for the best speakers, because psychologically we're stuck in a deferential society based on emotional response from debates and speeches.
Like one of the previous posters said, Biden was factual and boring. Basically, all he came back with was "let me answer that... blah blah blah buhh buhh buhh."
Sarah won this debate.

Or for cutest. Since the beginning of televised debates, looks is a winner.
However, I want to point out is only Half-America (56.70%) which votes. The other half prefers another pastime entertainment.

America does seem to vote for the most attractive - Nixon vs Kennedy was the first tv debate and Nixon thought it would be 'girly' to wear makeup. No on doubts that his permanent 5:00 shadow and profuse sweating under the lights doomed him.
But I think that the American public has matured since then.
