Either I suck at Constitutional law (which is of course completely possible) or she does. Difference, in my mind, being I'm not running for VP. I was also stunned when she said McCain "would build an embassy in the divided city of Jerusalem." Oh yeah the Middle East isn't in enough turmoil, let's build an embassy in the one spot to almost certainly make things worse. Seems like an obvious ploy to get Jewish voters
IMO, some of her answers (when she gave answers) were really just strange.
I don't see how this debate changes anything in the race. But how many VP debate have?

Her VP duties answer was just so completely wrong. She has no clue what a VP actually does or even what branch it serves in. Hell even the republicans who were interviewed after the debate didn't understand her position on that.
Nothing she said in her foreign policy answers proved she knew anything so her remark about an embassy was no surprise.. and it was no surprise she kept saying "I'll do what McCain says" (roughly speaking) ..
I have yet to see any maverick qualities from either one claiming to be one.
I especially liked when Biden pretty much dismissed the Maverick notions.. saying he's known McCain for years and he's no maverick on any important issue. That had to resonate with independents.
