CNN: Biden wins debate.

CBS: Biden wins debate, among uncommitted voters.

I like this perspective from Nate:
"Palin's largest problem, to my eyes, is that she was tangibly nervous for most of the debate, rushing through talking points and canned jokes alike with unsually little inflection. I doubt that this will impact her favorables much -- in fact, it seems likely that her favroables will improve. But it may contribute to the increasing feelings of dis-ease that some voters have with the McCain campaign, which no longer seems like the manifestly safer choice."

Most polls showed that people's opinion had improved of Palin (but she had nowhere to go but up). That was usually true of Biden as well. In fact, I thought his performance was beautiful--warm, honest, smart, organized. Obama could even take a few lessons from him. If anyone exceeded expectations, it's Biden. I think we not only dodged a bullet here, but we gained some good will from undecideds. Nowback to what really matters--the presidential campaign.

Speaking of, a great article on why McCain can't win.
