We’ll see what the real polls show in the next few days, and then we’ll know who won.

As a side note, I think people being critical of Palin’s speech patterns could backfire. It’s true that her sentence structures are awkward (I’m not talking about mistatements here, just what some people consider “folksy” in the negative sense). I would certainly expect political junkies to not like her style of speech, but I do think it is strikingly refreshing to “folksy” Americans. Living in the midwest, and not being from the midwest, I certainly know many people who speak similar to that also. (Yes, I added the “also” on purpose). If democrats make fun of her too much for it, they could come across as elitist. I think both sides often make the mistake of assuming the rest of America is just like them.

With that said, I do think she was too vague and Biden was more in control of the issues, as was expected.
