I also found her response to the question on Israel to be appalling. She showed little nuance or depth of understanding on any of the foreign policy issues. Lots of superficial answers crammed with key phrases and buzz words.

I predict the debate was a turning point for her personally. She did well enough to silence all the talk about her being a ditz. She got the job done.

One thing I learned last night: I trust Biden more than Obama with the presidency. Biden seemed to almost sense this when he reassured, "I'll be right there in the room with him on every decision."
Biden is an idiot, but does occasionally pretend to be an adult on some issues, and if I had to stomach a Dem in office, he could potentially be one of them. Obama is just a state senator who stuck "US Senator" on his business card.

Copout. 90 seconds is plenty of time to show a little evidence of understanding. She failed miserably.

As I said, your opinion is in the fringe minority.

Most people today on both sides (except Obamamoonies) feel like she did very well, whether they agree with her opinions or not. You're welcome to your opinion of course, but it's not my fault it's in the extreme.
