"Good God, Keep This Person Away From the Oval Office"

From Noam Schrieber New Republic:
"My completely impressionistic take on Palin's performance tonight is that it mirrorred her campaign performance so far (if not quite as dramatically): When Palin started off, you thought, "Wow, she seems so fresh--so human and easy to relate to. How can we compete with that?" Then, as the debate wore on, you thought, "Hmm, okay, she still seems human, but not quite what I'm looking for in a vice president." And, by the end, as the vacuous answers piled up, it was more like, "Good God, keep this woman away from the Oval Office." Which is the story of the last month, too. "

From a TW blog reader (swing state mother):
"The Lipstick Loser: Joe Sixpack and the hockey mom???? Did she seriously call middle America JOE SIXPACK? Could she be more offensive and degrading???? I lost the next 5 minutes of content trying to come out of the shock of that comment.... I vote we elect Tina Fey..."

From another TW blog reader (deep red state mom):
"I watched the first 1/2 before having to do the "kids get in bed" thing. I thought Palin was very well "rehearsed" and repeated the same buzz words a few too many times. It would scare the heck out of me if McCain kicked the bucket! That was really the most I had heard from Biden and I wasn't turned-off--I was honestly afraid I might be."
