The VP debate proved that Palin could hold her own in a debate format. And Biden was able to handle his side of the contest with a solid performance.
But as far as helping their Presidential running mates (a VP candidate’s real job) , you have to say that Obama won handily, and McCain lost another opportunity. Palin did a good job of explaining herself and appealing to voters, but she did little to take Obama down. On the other hand, Biden continually hammered on McCain about his views, his future plans, and most imporant, his claim as a “maverick”. Palin looked good, but McCain was not helped given the many attacks from Biden.
The real job was of the VP candidates was to elevate their running mates. On that, Biden did his job well. Palin helped herself in the debate, but did nothing to halt the momentum that has been going Obama’s way for the past two weeks.

Review:
Here’s an article entitled: “Senator McCain – Enough with the Prison Camp”. The Author’s view is that McCain has overused his experience in a Vietnamese prison camp and needs to move on.
It’s true that McCain is a hero and suffered greatly during that War, but I have to agree. I think I’d like to hear a little less of the prison experience and a little more about the future. Not that the prison story isn’t important, it is. But most people know it by now and I think they want to here about the next four years. Any thoughts?
Here’s the article:
Senator McCain – Enough with the Prison Camp
“Yes yes, Senator McCain, you’re an American hero. And yes, you’ve suffered greatly for that, but seriously. Enough already with the prisoner of war story. Do you realize that you bring it up nearly every single day, in one way or another? We’re sick and tired of it, and we want to hear a much different story from you.
That was a long time ago, Senator McCain. We don’t really care about what happened way back then, because it doesn’t have any relationship to what’s going on today. You just keep harping on it, but you don’t tell us what it is that you’ve learned from it that will make you a better President. Or why it might be relevant to today’s issues. We don’t see any of that, and its something that we’d like to know.”

Summary: Was McCain listening in to Obama’s comments during the Saddleback Forum. McCain managers say he was in a “Cone of Silence” while Obama was talking. The NY Times and BNC disagree and say he was not. Perhaps the Cone was the same used by Maxwell Smart in “Get Smart”. The Cone of Silence didn’t work that well either. Eliot Cobb
Story: Last night, John McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis sent a strongly-worded letter to NBC News president Steve Capus, complaining about “unsubstantiated, partisan claims” on the network made “in order to undercut John McCain.”
The claim in question was made by Andrea Mitchell on yesterday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press,” while discussing McCain and Obama’s respective performances during the Saddlebeck Forum on Faith led by Pastor Rick Warren.
