Trying to look at it objectively...
I'm a big fan of Biden and probably would have voted for him if he had still been active by the time NC voted, but I thought he started out really slowly and really only hit his stride during the last 30 minutes or so. I can see him as president.
I think Palin presented herself much, much better than I had expected. She stayed within her wheelhouse, regardless of the questions asked. I think she comes out (long-term) of this a winner, but doesn't do a whole lot to help McCain out in the next few weeks. I think she has the potential to become a very big player in American politics, but I still cannot envision her as president until she becomes (for lack of better terms) more "wordly" and experienced. I think she clearly salvaged and enhanced her own future tonight, whereas the past few weeks made me wonder if she had done irreversable damage to her career (even in Alaska).
