“Hold her own”????

It was more like Shock and Awe.

Yeah, overwhelming FR consensus is she kicked butt. I’ll just register a little dissent here and say I thought she seemed nervous, missed too many opportunities to attack Biden/Obama, and failed too many times to rebut Biden’s extremely tough attacks on McCain. I found myself wishing Dick Cheney could step in and straighten things out. Nevertheless she didn’t blow it and got a couple of pretty good lines in. It’s funny how a conventional wisdom — in the general media and the pundits — crystallizes within just a couple hours after these debates, and in this case it seems to be that Biden won on points but that Palin surpassed expectations and came across as more appealing. I think this is a pretty reasonable take on it.

Thanks.

I'm about fed up with him using his dead wife as an excuse for a pity party.
Oh, woe Joe is me!

Sarah beat the crap out of Biden. This left wing hack saying she held her own is liberal speak for Biden lost big time.

I thought her best line was when she said, to paraphrase,
“You attempted a lame joke, but it didn’t work, because nobody laughed.”
