Sarah Palin faced her biggest test,at the debate with Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, Palin's star power appears to have faded. She dropped out of the headlines as the financial crisis captured attention, and her shaky performance in interviews with CBS anchor Katie Couric was widely seen as a potential problem for the McCain campaign.
When Sarah Palin was introduced five weeks ago as John McCain's running mate, her impact seemed seismic. With her injection of youth and energy to the Republican ticket, McCain's advisors predicted she would be a strong draw to women -- particularly independents and supporters of New York Sen. Now everything changed as the McCain polls declined. However after the vice presidential debate McCain camp claims victory and keep on spinning as usual, although according to the CNN and CBS gallup poll reports that Joe Biden won the debate last Thursday.
