Sarah Palin did as well if not better than anybody could have
expected. This will help repair some of the damage that was done to
her reputation over the past few weeks. She was likeable, spoke to
the concerns of average Americans, defended McCain and went on the
offense against Obama. She wasn't afraid to mix it up with Biden
either, and she added good humor. Most of all, she seemed
comfortable up there and avoided any major incident.
And I would add that Joe Biden also did what he needed to. He
communicated his experience and knowledge, was an able attack dog,
and most of all, remained respectful and averted a big gaffe.
I don't think this changes the big picture of the race much, but
it will ease doubts about Palin.
