The Twitterers were hard at it again last night tweeting through the debate. Here are some selected highlights:

stevehoff: 2) Palin blaming crisis on “Predatory Lenders”. banks=bad/borrowers=good What happened to GOP mantra of personal responsibility?

kerryank: Crap – hard to tell who the biggest bimbo is in this debate!

bitterpurl: how do people think Palin “exceeded expectations” when she didn’t answer any questions? must’ve been the winking

verybigjen: I saw a powerful and intelligent woman during the #vpdebate last night – unfortunately it was the moderator.

yoga_mama: My.02: Palin did better than I thought she would, but Biden was stellar! He holds a balance between accessibility and countenance

lunarboy: Is Sarah Palin George W. Bush 2.0? She’s trying to charm her way through

mugwump2: If Palin were a river, she’d be the Platte: Wide sparkling surface, but an inch deep.

smith1022: so if mccain is maverick, is palin goose? is obama iceman? that’s cool, iceman rocks.

joshbuckner: Most important Biden/Palin distinction: the VP powers question. Palin endorses unchecked executive power. That’s not democracy.

orbitaldiamonds: She’s a “maverick.” That means she can change her mind as many times as she wants (apparently).

fusedlogic: Biden talked about his family situation with real emotion, then stomped on the Maverick BS…won him the debate

JSto: Sarah Palin reminds me of Dolores Umbridge

freeplay: sarah palin is very good at answering the questions she feels like answering, which are not the ones she’s asked

erinely: Think Palin did well? She charmed you. Read the debate transcript. She spoke gibberish. http://twurl.nl/ryuu8u
