Sully:
10.30 pm. Biden's sobriety and authority and call for fundamental change is both reasonable and solid. It will resonate, I think. As you can read, I began this debate feeling that she was steam-rolling him. She was. But it was a steam-roller coming at you on fumes, not real fuel. She doesn't have it. Maybe one day she might. But not now. Biden's peroration was very, very strong. There is no contest here. There was only one loser: Gewn Ifill. She was intimidated, peripheral, neutered. The rules didn't help. But Ifill put in a dreadful performance.
Palin's had a big day, I think she deserves ice cream.

quick question: palin quotes "city on a hill" as reagan--is this who the line is commonly associated with? i mean, duz it automatically mean 'reagan' and not 'puritans'? (John Winthrop?)

Begala's point is good, that Palin's job tonight was to rehabilitate Sarah Palin, and she did okay.

I think this debate will not change the minds of anyone who has already decided. They both did what they set out to do.

i thought palin did well on this. didnt seem nervous or unprepared to me, and now I'm wondering if talking to a big group, several feet away from the nearest other person is more her style than one-on-one interviews. also, my gut feeling is she helped her ticket more than Biden helped his -- not that Biden hurt his ticket, but he did seem more like a "democratic politician" where palin seemed like a "passionate conservative". small difference, but one that imo gave her a slight edge tonight overall.
and before I am skewed and/or shunned, I will note I thought close to the opposite about the obama/mccain debate!
