Is Alaska kicking her a dime for every time she references it?
She managed to not fall off the stage. Several pundits are putting her in the "win" column as a result. errrggggggggh.

The pundit-equation immediately after the fact seemed to be because no one loused up really bad, and Palin was expected to louse up worse, therefore, it was either a draw or a win for Palin. But no one's talking about whether either of them did well, as opposed to not-horribly. Biden had me on my feet 3-4 times (a federal politician staking out a real moral imperative on Sudan? wtf?). And as mentioned by Ryan O. above, Joe's tearful moment of autobiography just shut the door on Palin - from then on, it was his debate and she was just hanging around trying to look folksy.
