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.
