Kansas City, MO – So, how'd they do?

The debate between vice presidential candidates Sen. Joe Biden (D) and Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is now over, but the reaction continues.

In the first half of October 3, 2008 edition of Up to Date, we provided listeners a chance to tell us how the candidates did at Washington University in St. Louis.

Join the discussion.

Up to Date host Steve Kraske spoke to University of Kansas Communication Studies professor Mary Banwart and Washburn University professor Bob Beatty. They discussed their own reactions and that of their students, and we asked listeners to call in with their thoughts, too. You can listen to the conversation here.
