The biggest difference between the two for me was the way they spoke. Biden looked at the "discussion director" (I can't think of her actual title)and Palin looked directly into the camera. It felt like the difference between watching a conversation and being a part of one.
I also felt, in the very beginning, that Biden was sort of avoiding the issues on hand and acted as a huge flaming cheerleader for Obama...I guess that's what they are supposed to do at this sort of thing, but it was just..eh.
Sarah Palin: ALASKA, ALASKA, ALASKA!!! Wow- I've never heard one person turn absolutely every questions asked into an answer involving "the great energy producing state!" I really took notice of often she referred to the amazing and wonderful state of Alaska.
Overall, I liked Sarah better, I feel like she spoke very well and to the right audience. I liked the way she stuck to her guns on the gay marriage issue because I got the impression that Biden was actually FOR gay marriage...but after Palin said upfront that she didn't, but supported their rights, Biden said he agreed. He smelled a little fishy, while I knew that Palin said how she felt, not what other people may have wanted to hear.
Faith in Sarah has been restored after Tina Fey ruined her, at least for me.

I am glad Palin is back in your good graces! One of her goals for the evening was in fact to connect to the people (this is something she does well which is one of the reasons McCain selected her in the first place). She certainly accomplished this goal however, the "dog on it" phrase was a bit over the top for me. I was proud of her as well for sticking to her guns on that question. Had she done otherwise it would have been bad news bears for sure. SNL is going to have a much harder time this week for sure!
