Palin: Shout Out! .. 10:18

"There you go again Joe."

That's what Palin said to Biden when he leveled yet another slam on the Bush Administration, a backward focus, she says, when this race is about moving forward.

Biden may be showing an expert grasp on the details of legislation and foreign policy.

But Palin is winning the race to impress to viewers with using everyday vernacular. "I am one of you," she said at one point. She's even sent a "shout out" to a third-grade class in Alaska that is apparently watching, telling them they get "extra credit."

Earlier, she exclaimed to a Biden answer: “Oh man, it’s so obvious I’m a Washington outsider and not used to the way you guys work in Washington.”

If the winner of this debate is the one who gets the most viewers to identify with them, it might be Palin.
