I thought she did better than everyone expected. I at least thought she was going to be horrible. But she did avoid a bunch of questions and sometimes she would just change the topic without even answering the one she was just asked. It was like she had set answers to certain topics and when those topics would not come up, she would just switch to that topic to not loose the answers she had ready for those questions ( even though they were not asked).
And Biden was very in check. He called out McCain on a lot of stuff but wouldn't call her out on anything. I guess the Obama campaing didn't want to make him look like a bully, cuz you know thats what every conservative would've said.
I think he did good on the part were she kept saying how unpatriotic (or something like that) Obama was for voting against funding for the war and he answered by saying that McCain also voted against funding at one point. She would than bring that back up and again he would say that McCain also voted against funding. She wouldn't get the message that McCain also voted against funding the war.
