Sen. Joe Biden
From Politico:


Criticizing John McCain's health care plan, Biden said that McCain would tax health care and "then you're going to have to replace a $12,000 -- that's the average cost of the plan you get through your employer; it costs $12,000 -- you're going to have to pay -- replace a $12,000 plan, because 20 million of you are going to be dropped. So you're going to have to place -- replace a $12,000 plan with a $5,000 check you've just given to the insurance company."


Got that? 



Gov. Sarah Palin
From KnoxViews:


"I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are."



Oh, and as for the real substance of the debate, the good folks over at non-partisan FactCheck.org found some good whoppers. One, in particular, that kept coming up was the issue of emergency funding bills for troops in Iraq in Afghanistan. Taking the "We're the defense candidate" tack, Palin repeatedly said that Obama voted against funding for the troops. Well, he did, once. But, then again, so did McCain, when the bill contained language specifying a date for withdrawal.
