In between all the back and forth on the stunning mediocrity that Sarah Palin, Joe Biden is not getting the credit he deserves. He was not "adequate" or "fine" as many people have said. He freaking murdered it. He would have killed McCain or Obama last night. It felt like Ifill could question him all night on any topic out there and he would just drill down to the center of the earth (ohhh, pun?). He was perfect in dealing with Palin, he showed issue mastery, passion, and grace. I have NO issue with this guy in the Oval Office at all (to be frank, I'd be even more comfortable with him than Obama and DEFINITELY McCain). Anyone who believes that two equals were on stage last night has not read up on what it is the President or Vice-President actually does when in office. They don't wink and give props to 3rd-grade classes. They don't believe that just because they say they are mavericks, that people will snap their spines to get out of their reform-wielding ways (Palin, please try telling a Democratically-controlled Congress how much of a maverick you are...see where that gets you). But enough about Bible Spice. Great job, Joe!
