Two Moments

A reader writes:

I think you are holding back because you suspect your own judgment as being too tilted against Palin.

Biden won the debate, pretty easily.  You will see this is exactly like the first Obama/McCain debate, the overall effect willl settle in hours and days later when you realize that the steady, calm, authoritative showing by Biden actually crushed Palin.  Actually, Biden did the same as Obama, but even more so.

Two things immediately jump out as memorable.  Biden ruled on the VP question, absolutely ruled, and she was clueless.  And his breakdown in talking about his son almost dying was even more poignant because of her immediate, insensitive, complete disregard for what had been a genuine moment. 

Those are the two moments that will live on after the debate.
