Biden's killing blow on Palin came at the end
Biden's emotion about his deceased wife and daughter was the tipping point in this debate - when he choked up, the focus dials went to the maximum. A brilliant, beautiful rebuttal to Palin's snarky attacks on Biden for not understanding what it's like to raise a family.
This was clearly the most dramatic of the evening. What struck me was that Palin didn't seem to know Biden's family story. Anyone who knows what Biden has had to deal with raising his kids wouldn't have blithely made that comment.
