Frankly, my expectation of her was so low that as long as she showed up, she improved in my book. You could tell that most of her answers were scripted. When she had to veer off her talking points, she threw in Alaska (I cringe every time she says the word!) or some nonsensical phrase or just repeats what she just said. She did have that deer in the headlights look a few times - global warming, Afghanistan, healthcare. This woman should be nowhere near the button.
OTOH, Joey hit it out of the park. He took it to McSame because he was there in the Senate and he KNEW the real deal; Palin had no clue about McSame's voting record! He also refused to cede her the working class or working parent playing field; his moment about his son's was genuine. He did have to pull himself together and restrain himself from calling her a flat out liar after she basically called him one. You remember the exchange about the general in Afghanistan? Apparently she got his name wrong but I will need to see the fact check to see who got the story right because I don't know myself.
ETA: Here is one fact check...

All in all, it was worth staying up and having to take a midday nap...
