Summarizes the positive coverage of Gov. Palin's debate performance, charges the MSM of bias in assessing the implications of her competent, expectation-defying performance, and discusses strategies available to both camps. Concludes that a Republican victory looks improbable.

I don't agree that she did good. She did not even do well. The Republicans insisted on no followup questions, so here booboos could not be identified in real time. She avoided answering any question for which she did not have an answer and went to abusing the debate format to pitch BS to the audience. Raw and rah rah, nothing more. Rubin adds little to the discussion.

This may be the best summary of reactions to the VP debate yet published. It is lengthy, including both quotes from newspaper editorials and from analysts. But the author adds considerable information in her own analysis, which provides the context for the specific comments.
