Sarah Palin did well last night in her debate with Joe Biden, and Biden in turn landed good shots. Democracy at work.

Maybe despite all the spinning and media/blogosphere ravings one way or the other, Obama just has to keep it steady to win:

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a “second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament.” Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self- definition — do you really know who he is and what he believes?

Nonetheless, he’s got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.
