I thought Biden had a solid victory overall. He actually answered the questions, he gave specifics without seeming overly wonky, and did a decent job of connecting emotionally. Palin didn't make any big gaffes, but frequently just didn't answer the question, and seemed nervous and overly folksy (would someone PLEASE tell her to stop winking. It makes her look like she has a tic.) There were a couple of her answers where I just winced. She thinks that Cheney wasn't a powerful enough VP? I've always thought that their claim that Obama/Biden are waving the 'white flag of surrender' is overstated. Same with the bit about Michelle Obama not loving her country. At the end of it all, I doubt it changed anything, doubt that it convinced anybody who's still unconvinced to go either way.
