Still playing catch up from starting late.

Biden digs McCain for his "economy is fundamentally strong" comment.

Palin says we need someone fresh in Washington, and she tries to paint McCain as the choice of reform and change. (that's a tough sell)

Now Palin is attacking the predatory lenders. She is not attacking Obama, which I think is missing a chance to set herself apart.

Biden on the other hand is aggressively going after McCain for lack of regulation. this seems like and effective strategy to avoid looking like the bully--going after McCain instead of Palin.

Palin is finally going after Obama for supporting higher taxes.

Biden comes back with an effective response showing he is VERY familiar with the candidates' voting records and showing his experience with how Washington works. He answers that the tax vote Palin is citing was a proceedural vote.
