On Fox News (surprise!) Palin was gangbusters. The Fox folks even produced a focus group that went heavily (but not completely) for Palin.
Over a CBS, a more scientific "instant" survey came to an opposite conclusion, finding that most viewers rated Biden as the clear winner over Palin, but including a high number of undecided voters.
Thus far, the best description of Palin's performance we've seen comes from one of our favorite blogs, Daily Kos. Here's their quick summary:
Palin was like one of those dolls where you pull the string, and some pre-recorded message comes out. Pull string, "They hate our freedoms!" Pull string, "Obama will raise taxes!" Pull string, "Drill, baby, drill!" It was tiresome and, frankly, a little boring.

Palin may be a genius. She confabulated almost complete ignorance into a showing that at least the faithful could interpret as credible.
On the whole. probably few minds were changed, which is in keeping with the history of vice presidential debates.
Which I guess is just as bad as the democrat pull strings saying "Bush did it!" "Bush's economics," and my personal favorite, "Just more of the same Bush!"
Where can I get on of those Chatty George McBush dolls?
