Here’s my take. As much as I hate to say this, I don’t think tonight is going to help the GOP ticket. I think Biden comes off as more in touch with what is going on, and during times like these, I think people are going to go with the “devil they know”, which is Biden, and that is what is going to give the advantage to the Rat ticket. I think Biden did a good job of tying McCain to Bush.

The good news is that Palin kept herself in play for 2012.

Biden tears up, pulling a Hillary.

I'm not seeing that. Governor Palin is showing two things that matter. 1. She can hold her own on stage with an old-time Washington insider. 2. She has a different and many will think better vision of what government should do for us instead of to us.

I was listening to the debate on the way home from my child's soccer practice and I thought the early debate was not so much won by Biden as lost by Palin. My sense is that she was a bit off stride through about the first half hour. Over the last 45 minutes, I think she has performed at a much higher level and has put Biden off his game. Her direct challenging of Biden on his positions contrary to the top of his ticket have been effective.

I don't know if I find Palin to have been resounding in defeating Biden, but I think a good case can be made that she overall won the contest.

“devil they know” is’t CHANGE!
That blows your whole premis
