CNN has debate analysis looking at level of complexity of statements
CNN reports this:
Grade level: Biden, 7.8; Palin, 9.5 (Newspapers are typically written to a sixth-grade reading level.)
Sentences per paragraph: statistically tied at 2.7 for Biden and 2.6 for Palin.
Letters per word: tied at 4.4.
Ease of reading: Biden, 66.7 (with 100 being the easiest to read or hear), versus 62.4 for Palin.

And if the scores were reversed for grade level, the media would jump all over it...
Don't you love cnn's analysis? Palin used the passive voice more, therefore she is "deflecting responsibility." What a crock.
