In the first thirty minutes of the debate, Palin and Biden each made efforts to connect with everyday voters. Biden referred to his roots in a small town in Pennsylvania (he grew up in Scranton) and to the connections he has made among neighbors and constituents in Delaware. Palin went a step further, talking about friends and family in Alaska, regularly looking directly into the camera, and at one point talking about "the middle class of America, which is where Todd and I have been all our lives."
Palin spoke with disdain about "East-coast politicians" and was more likely to use every-day language, saying, "I will tell America straight up." In speaking about tax cuts that would help the private sector, Palin talked about the benefits to "our families."
Biden veered more often to discussion of Senate legislative procedures, but redeemed himself in talking about the slowing economy when he named a friend in Delaware he met in line at the gas station. Biden said his friend can't afford to fill his tank anymore so has no idea what a full tank might cost.
