vice presidential debate
Sarah Palin gave as good as she got in her televised faceoff with Joe Biden Thursday night - and by that measure she shored up her standing as John McCain's vice presidential running mate.
Palin sailed through the 90 minutes with none of the unsteadiness she had shown in TV interviews. She was both assured and down-home folksy in arguing the case for McCain and against Barack Obama.
For his part, Biden was confident and informed, and he spoke as the experienced Washington hand that he is. He quickly put to rest concerns that he would let his mouth run excessively or condescend to Palin.
But far more rode on Palin's performance than on Biden's, in that she had more to prove.
She took the stage with a Washington Post-ABC News poll showing that six in 10 voters question whether she has the experience to serve as President, while fewer than half said they believe she understands complex issues. Biden far outpolled Palin in both regards - perhaps most critically, among independents.
Thursday night, she made a highly creditable effort to balance the scales.
Speaking directly to the camera through most of the conversation, Palin laid out the big themes of the McCain campaign - government reform, lower taxes, strong defense and the like - in concise, forceful terms.
