New ad on health care features clip from Biden-Palin debate

The snap polls suggested Joe Biden won last night's debate with Sarah Palin (which hasn't stopped conservative swooning over the winking governor).

In less than 24 hours, the Obama campaign had a television commercial ready that featured one of my favorite moments from the debate:

A simple explanation and great one-liner from Biden on an important issue.

Meanwhile, John McCain's campaign today contradicted Palin's statement on bankruptcy law changes--among very few comments she made about bankruptcy before changing the subject to her record on energy policy.

Your Palin comedy of the day is adennak's Sarah Palin debate flow chart.

UPDATE: The Obama campaign released a second ad on the same theme today.
