Biden - Palin debate

Despite quite low expectations Sarah Palin appears to have done well in tonight's Vice Presidential debate (which I just watched). Among other issues the candidates clashed on the Iraq War and the economy, with Palin in my opinion coming out top on the war and Biden on the economy, on the issue of climate change which many believed was a problem for Palin she did well. Palin seemed to play towards independents who are generally not keen on her for instance she firmly stated that both human activities and climatic cycles had an input into climate change. With the Palin bounce seeming to have faded we will soon know whether her performance tonight has been enough for the McCain campaign to regain the momentum. Biden gave an assured performance and showed his experience, he seemed to be quite successful in linking the McCain campaign and the Bush administration.
