I would argue that Palin meandered, not really answering the questions directly, and that her success is due to the very low expectations people had of her. That said, I agree that Biden did really well. Someone else I was talking to mentioned that Biden was much more passionate when going against McCain’s record because Biden has the leeway to be the bulldog (my word, not my friend’s). The VP doesn’t have to act so presidential, per se.

Anyway, this is the funniest entry about that VP debate:

Apropos of nothing, here’s a clip of Sarah Palin during last night’s debate, calling Joe Biden “Senator O’Biden.” A momentary crossing of synapses that caused her to mix him up with his younger, multiracial running mate? Or just a sly nod to America’s Irish voters? Either way, it caused Joe to break into his Cheshire Cat smile, as he thought “This lady is none too bright. But I’d still like to make out with her.”
