Well, she came off well on the personality front. I'll bet hardly anyone noticed that she named a Civil War general as the commander in Afghanistan. Also, she was snide, condescending, and essentially accused Biden of being an opportunistic coward. I'm sure Biden was very carefully coached not to engage her, so he did not fire back. That took a lot more discipline than I would have credited to him.
She got past her inexperience by speaking in generalities and in many cases ducking the question. Biden did not call her on it.
I do think the part where she wanted to go further in redefining the vice presidency than Cheney has was frightening.
The fact checkers are going to be working overtime on her claims, and some of Biden's too.
