I'm with Derwood. If Biden actually went off on Palin, while entirely entertaining and worthwhile, I think it would have hurt the Obama/Biden campaign. FoxNews would have ran with that one so hard claiming he was attacking her because she's a woman and all. I think Biden played his debate cards just right. Gave solid, straightforward answers most of the time, and kept his composure.
Sure, Palin did better then expected, but expectation were so low. When she kept winking at me I was pretty convinced she wanted me to buy her a beer after the show. Being a fellow winker I got a kick out of telling my girlfriend Palin wants to have a threesome with us, but outside of that the winking combined with the "you betcha, dontcha know, and golly gee" comments did absolutely nothing for me.
