Give the Democrat Media 24 hours and they’ll have the American people believing Governor Palin was drooling on stage.

[Soul Seeker]

Hasn’t NRO been among her list of critics? Do they admit themselves confounded then. ;)

I have no issue with Sarah. Never have. She’s the one I want to Be President.

Sarah Palin Song

[Enterprise]

"She connected domestic-policy arguments to the lives of average voters."

She ABSOLUTELY connected with middle America regarding how we need to stop transferring billions of petro dollars to other nations and develop our resources and keep those jobs in OUR country! BRAVISSIMO SARAH!

It’s fair enough to observe that the election is, of course, not going to turn on the vice-presidential debate. We expect that a lot of Democrats will be saying that now.

Sums it up nicely; the Dems will turn the subject back to McCain and Obama.

Unfortunately, that's where this election will be won or lost.

[caveat emptor]

Contrary to tonight's received opinion among middle-of-the-road to conservative pundits, I believe this debate will make a significant difference, and that there will be a shift among undecided "Regan Democrats".

She hammered away at concern for "working class" and "middle class" Americans, without pandering. It won't show up in an analysis of the transcript and will likely be dismissed as the "Bradley effect" if it's even conceded. And we may not know until after the election.

Wow, the Romneybots at NRO saying something nice about Palin?

[driftless2]

If anyone (libs) thinks you can come from where Palin was before her nomination (not involved in federal politics) and step into a debate like this after five weeks does not have high intelligence, think again. Her performance should destroy the assumptions of all the smug libs who questioned her intelligence. Hey Joy Behar, Peggy Noonan, Katherine Parker and all the other assorted Palin-naysayers, what do you have to say now? I’d like to see you types step into what she did and perform as well. I doubt you could.

Now that Mrs. Palin has gotten the VP debate behind her, I hope that McCain will unleash her and allow her to be his pit bull and start laying into Obama on a heavy basis from now until November 4th.
She has the ability to do it and make the Dems cringe, she just needs to be allowed to.

The MSM had already written the template that Biden won but “Palin did better than expected”.
I guarantee the MSM and their skewed pollsters are going to get a November surprise when McCain/Palin wipes Obama up.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I'm sad to say I disagree. I want McCain/Palin to win, but I don't think Palin's performance last night was all that impressive. Outside of her few areas of expertise, she sounded rambling and confused, arguing from a basis of emotion rather than logic and fact.

Sadly, too, she allowed Biden to imply that McCain also voted not to support the troops when he voted against the bill that contained the time line provision. Palin could have smacked his goofy ass into irrelevancy if she had just said "why would McCain have supported a bill that broadcast our wartime strategy to our enemies?" But she let that one fly.

Palin is, without question, earnest, fresh, energizing, and exciting. She's also a babe. But let's be honest: Hillary Clinton would have demolished her last night. Thank God she was only up against Joe Biden, who makes less sense than my two-year-old son.
