Definitely a tie, which is a win for McCain/Palin since everyone expected her to fall on her face and also a win for Obama/Biden because many expected Jokin' Joe to gaffe himself to death. Both sides made points, both sides distorted the truth to fit their points.
The saddest part of all was the moderation. The rules were laid out before the questions started and after the first question, the moderator (and I use the term loosely) broke the rules by going on to the second question without the 2 minute rebuttal period. Overall, a very disorganized affair. PBS should be ashamed of the first two debates since, IMHO, both moderators were complete failures. Hope the next two are more debate and less speech.
