Immediate reaction polls should be taken with a load of salt, but two of the best showed tonight's vice presidential showdown had three winners. Both presidential candidates gained ground and moderator Gwen Ifill won points after almost all those tuning in said she had treated the rivals "fairly."
In polls by CBS News of uncommitted voters and by CNN of all debate watchers, more respondents said Democratic Sen. Joe Biden was "the winner." But GOP No. 2, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, scored some important points.

Turn her loose, John.....
CRY HAVOC!!! AND LET SLIP THE “PITBULLS” OF WAR!!
I posted earlier thatC-BS’s split screen gave Biden an inch more room than Palin. Talk about bias.
Palin won, hands down.
Effing Ifill managed to make herself a large part of the story. Now she can go back to obscurity at PBS and hopefully her book on B Hussein Obama will be remaindered after McCain and Plain are sworn in.
“Turn her loose, John.....
CRY HAVOC!!! AND LET SLIP THE “PITBULLS” OF WAR!!”
I second that. Anyone with a brain who watched this debate clearly saw her as the winner.
Again, the MSM is going to shoot themselves in the foot on this one. They came across as bitter, immature and delusional by trying to downplay the fact that Palin cleaned Biden’s clock.
She made the connection to average Americans....the other 3 never will.
The Washington Compost...what a unbiased opinion (undecided voters shifted left after seeing the debate)! They wish...If they did, they must like being lied to.
Ifell was awful. She continually let Byebiden get the last attack and then changed the question w/o letting Gov Palin rebut. Course the Compost likely never saw the debate.

These snap polls don’t mean anything.
I think she wants to win more than McCain ever did.
Oh noes! Say it ain’t so, Joe.
Glory to the Lord, God, Almighty! His Holy Spirit was truly with Sarah last night.

19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
LOL @ CNN and CBS snap polls. It’s really sad.
You know Sarah Palin won easily when even MSNBC is forced to admit it. Chris Matthews is such a slimeball.
That’s because she is the future.
SHe should never get to moderate another one of these debates, and if she does we should boycott it. She didn’t mention the little fact of her book when she interviewed for the job.
Sarah was not hamstrung by Ifill. If she did not respond it was because she did not feel the need to respond. About half the time when Biden got in the last word, it was just a flat out lie and he has already been caught in every one.
I thought Ifill was a much better moderator than any I've seen in the last 3 or 4 Presidential elections.
