Who Won the Veep Debate?

My initial reaction was that this debate will probably make no difference whatsoever. Biden was obviously sharper and more knowledgeable. Palin had obviously memorized a series of talking points she repeated over and over again.

Who won? For viewers who checked their heads at the door, I guess it was a toss-up. For anyone who cares about susbtance, it wasn't close. Palin just kept repeating lies and nonsense, regardless of the question, and regardless of common sense. On point after point, Biden just out classed her. The two really didn't belong on the same stage.

Will any of this matter? At first blush, I suspect not. Neither candidate committed any huge, humiliating mistakes, though I suspect the soundbite we'll be hearing a lot tomorrow is: "How long have I been at this? Five Weeks?" Her repeated confusion about Gen. McKiernan may come up a bit, too.

I'll have plenty of additional coverage in the morning. What'd you think?
