My quick, initial impression? I think the Republicans are going to be ecstatic because Palin came across far better than the Couric interview had people expecting. I think Democrats are going to be disappointed for the same reason. I think anyone who judges a debate by who had the more substantive answers will think Biden won, and that anyone who likes folksy answers about how things aren't really all that complicated and gosh darn if we just pull together everything can be solved will think Palin won.
I think we'll have to wait to see what the only important people -- the undecided voters -- think.
