I, like most other Americans, was glued to the VP debate last night. Less of my interest was to hear a sincere appeal to a country's citizens - as I'm not sure politicians are capable of sincerity - but to see if Gov. Palin would implode. I, like most other Americans, was surprised; pleasantly.
Was that the same Gov. Palin who gave Katie Couric multiple interviews last week? She was direct and on cue with her responses. She appeared to know what she was talking about. She did, however, fail to answer multiple questions, which is less of a personal failure and more of a character trait inherent to politics. It wasn't, in my opinion, that she hit a homerun, but merely showed she can talk on a national stage. Granted, every day for the last two weeks she's been coached on what to say, but still.
On the other side of the stage, Senator Biden seemed angry and equally as surprised in Gov. Palin's lasting fortitude through the evening. I haven't looked at any poll numbers, but my suspicion is that her performance will boost their ticket into the coming week.
