Biden was walking a tightrope, as he was one of the more vocal democratic primary runners that opposed Obama. He on several occasions attacked Obama on his policies and experience, he was trying to not open those doors and Palin tried to bring them up. Yes Biden has 35 years in the Senate and lots of experience to draw responses from, although the pundents are now showing that Bidens facts were wrong continually tonight, about 15-18 major errors. Biden's experience is what turns most off, people are fed up with Capitol Hill, the Partisan BS , and inefficiency, you can point to who ever you want but both sides are to blame, no one person, even the President can control every aspect of legislation. Palin is exactly opposite of all 3 other names on the ticket, and that's what resonates with main stream, blue collar America. People see she's done a good job as governor. And the continual attacks by the media and late night comedians are beginning to backfire. She's not what they portray her.
