Palin performed well. Biden forced some answers. But who won?
As I have been in debate for a couple years, I know a thing or two about how one should answer questions. On strictly debate, Biden answered the questions, provided the most sources and properly refuted. Palin regularly went of subject to address issues she knew most about: not good debate.
Technically, Biden won the debate. But who won the audience? I truly must credit Palin with doing an impressive job with connecting to voters. She regularly made important points while looking at the camera, she related to lower middle class (the american ideal) and I believe all of her "Washington outsider" talk was baked up by outsider language -- she didn't speak as formally as Biden.
Ultimately, the question remains: Who would you rather have to lead? Palin is happy to be the outsider with minimal experience. Biden is comfortable basking in 30+ years of D.C. professionalism.
