"minor victory for palin"

-- Disagree. Without even analyzing what she said [including supporting giving the VP MORE power than under Cheney], she's going to come out of it still looking like an imbecile, albeit one that memorizes talking points incredibly well. This is important for the undecideds, who respond to warm fuzzies more than substance.

However, with all the manic down home-isms, the winking, and the mindless "maverick" claims she came off as more a caricature than a candidate taking the evening seriously.

Biden, on the other hand, performed fantastically given the unique nature of the opponent. He seemed authentic, respectful, and knew when to shut up (for the most part).

This Palin performance won't win over a significant amount of the undecideds that will win the election.
