Independents side with Biden

You know I hate polls but the only metric that really counts in measuring the results of last night's debate is if ti swayed Independents. The polling here is worth looking at because it shows Biden, wins hands down and any swaying that happened favored Obama. The numbers are also interesting in the breakdowns by party afiliation. Palin's fan club thought she was great. The rest of the world issued a collective -- Meh.

Meanwhile, Rasmussen reports Obama opened up a 10 point lead in New Hampshire, and is edging ahead in North Carolina, both traditionally dependable GOP states. Any debate bump won't show up in this poll of course, but the trajectory is clear. The Unstable/Unable duo is failing to sell their fake populism, no matter what the idiot pundits say on teevee.
