I know, right? And Joe, too. I still love that quote of his about Giuliani about "Noun, verb, 9/11"

The two of them (Palin and Biden) going at it will be quite something to see. If I can handle the sound of Palin's voice for 90 minutes (I know she sounds folksy, and the pitch or nasalness or whatever of her voice is something she can't help, but I do find it irritating, regardless of what she actually says).

I wasn't super-impressed (rarely am) with the debate, I did think Obama did a bit better with the posture, movements, eye contact to the camera, etc., but I guess that's to be expected.

I was disappointed, but again, not surprised, that they didn't really talk about foreign policy except with respect to the middle east. And that half the time was used discussing the current economic situation. Again, completely understand that this was the case, but we VERY rarely hear Presidents discuss foreign policy outside MENA [Middle East/Northern Africa], let alone candidates. I would have appreciated a good 90 minutes of real foreign policy discussion.
