The Guardian - Palin won the debate

The Guardian (UK) is about as far left a newspaper as you will find and if the think she won, she won big time.

"She grew in confidence during the 90-minute debate at Washington University, in St Louis, Missouri, and held her own with Biden, who is one of the most knowledgeable politicians in Washington on foreign policy as chairman of the senate foreign affairs committee.

In spite of his experience, her folksy, populist tone may have given her the edge with viewers."
