Now, voters are left to decide whether they believe that and how it will happen. But there's a lot of voters that will love to hear those two things from a candidate whether you agree or not.
I also found another thing very interesting that I forgot to mention earlier. When the question was asked about what campaign promises would change with the latest financial issues, Palin gave a very straight-forward response. She said that as far as she knew, nothing that McCain has proposed would have to be removed from the plan for their presidency. I believe that's slightly different than what McCain said in the first debate (believe he said that compromises will have to be made, though he didn't cite any specifics). Perhaps the campaign has found ways to include everything since the previous debate, but I don't think the two answers were exactly the same.
