More bad news for John McCain: Two quick, post-debate polls agree that Joe Biden was the better performer in his debate Thursday night with Sarah Palin.
-- CBS used uncommitted voters, who gave Biden the edge in early numbers, 46-21 percent, over Palin.
-- CNN's instant poll of regular voters showed Biden victorious, 51-36.
More polls will be released early Friday. But they will likely show most Americans were not impressed with Palin's performance in her one and only debate with Biden.
That news is not going to help McCain. He was counting on Palin at least holding her own with Biden Thursday night. And she didn't.

An interesting number
For the question, "Are they knowledgeable about important issues," CBS reported 98% said "yes" for Biden. That's all I ask for.
Agreed
I think this was much better than having one or both give us cringeworthy soundbites to be replayed endlessly on YouTube.
We got to see each at his/her best, and, though Palin managed to answer questions a bit better than she did in her interviews earlier this week, Biden came across as much, much more qualified to help lead this country.
Not sure that's the link you wanted...
...but it's pretty good,nonetheless. I liked this: "When after the Republican convention Obama's poll numbers momentarily slipped behind McCain's, panicked Democrats urged him to get mad. He did precisely the opposite. He got calm." Y'know, he's RIGHT.
It WAS an interesting match. Biden didn't get a walkover, Palin had to deal with a Biden who was, at times, absolutely on fire. I think this was much better than having one or both give us cringeworthy soundbites to be replayed endlessly on YouTube.
They were both good...
I know it is easy to get wrapped up in the "I'm right, you're wrong" argument. They were both pretty good, weren't they? I thought Palin did a good job on the topic of energy and Biden did well on Foreign Policy. If you like Folksy doggone it, you will like Palin. If you like details and facts and figures (zzzz)you probably like Biden. C'mon can't we agree?

Fox News
This Morning's Charles Krauthammer Article seems to sum it up for me anyway, here is a conservative pundit weighing in.
In other news, jenniferm's hallucinations began early today...
Even Fox (Fair and Balanced, y'know) said Biden won the debate. This is the flavor of your slice of the pie, Chuckles; get used to it.
Cherry picking
Instant polls on the Internet or texted are not credible. And there are some others out there, gathered the same way, that paint a very different picture--which I'm sure were deliberately left out of this post.
Is it really too much to ask for balance or fairness or, God forbid, honestly, with this newspaper anymore?
Biden Won the Debate
There is no doubt that Biden won, based on his answers to the policy questions, showing how Obama/Biden would bring change, and disputing McCain's positions. Palin did spend time talking, but the substance of her answers were lacking.
I believe in God and my
I believe in God and my right to own a gun and I don't think for a minute that either are threatened with an Obama/Biden ticket.
