Did everyone else know Biden's family history? Has he brought it up in this election cycle? (I'm sure voters in Delaware know it). It was news to me and genuinely moving.

I've always thought Biden was afflicted by "smartest guy" syndrome, which made him a good senator and would make him an interesting VP, but not a great candidate.

His debate tasks were very difficult tonight and he achieved them magnificently. Palin exceeded expectations, but moved few moderate voters I expect.

the feminist blogs have made note of Biden's family, and were horrified at Palin's remarks. Biden's tax records were also released- and he pulls down 300k/yr- more money than I can imagine, but in the circles in which he's moved professionally for so long, a really modest income.

He wasn't a pol I was familiar with beyond his tireless work on women's rights issues, but the more I've learned, verbal gaffes included, the more I've come to respect him.
