This was the ‘cuda! Sarah Palin was outstanding.

From the opening, when she asked “Can I call you Joe?”. Hitting Barry and Joe for looking backward not forward.

Biden will sit in on all policy meetings? Huh? No other VP has ever done that.

Too much populism from Sarah Palin. Wall Street is an easy target but America is Wall Street. Where do you think your pension, heck, Joe Biden’s pension is?

“questioning judgment rather than motives” Too bad the entire Barry Obama campaign puts the lie to biden’s comment.

“Bosniacs?” There ya go again, Joe!

Gotta leave ‘em gaffing.

    Regarding Bosniaks, I thought it was a misspeak at first as well but it turns out that it’s the right term for Bosnian Muslims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosniaks

    Joe Biden did a superb job. He deftly stopped Palin from distorting Obama’s views. He won the tax cut argument– Democrats usually don’t. He won the health care argument; Palin just gave up. She wouldn’t — couldn’t — answer the questions; she wanted to talk about energy, which she’s supposed to know something about, but she even lost on that . Often she didn’t know or couldn’t say what McCain’s policy is. And on foreign policy, she must have been staring out the window when she sat down with Henry Kissinger. She “loves” Israel but can’t discuss mideast realities in one inch depth. She can’t even articulate basic conditions for the use of nuclear weapons.

    Palin relied on topline phrases and had little command of facts. Why, she even memorized the name of the President of Iran. But it was mostly blah, blah, blah. At the end, the Obama-Biden ticket is far ahead on the big issues — and Palin’s a parrot repeating memorized phrases, not a plausible vice-president. Biden called her on it every time.
