Biden winner in VP debate

Editor:

U.S. Sen. Joe Biden clearly won Thursday's debate. While Sarah Palin did a good job presenting rehearsed talking points, Biden looked like a real vice president.
He presented a clear case for why he and Barack Obama represent the change Americans need - away from eight long years of Bush-McCain policies. Palin's talking points sounded a lot like a continuation of Bush. Palin called leaving Iraq the "white flag of surrender," she said she agreed with Vice President Dick Cheney's expansive view of the vice president's powers, and she promoted economic policies that would shower tax cuts on corporations and the super-wealthy while leaving the middle class behind. Biden made clear that Obama would make the middle class his priority, bring our troops home from Iraq responsibly and restore America's leadership in the world.
