As many of y'all know, National Review Online is down right now. Well, my good friend Ramesh Ponnuru and I have been emailing one another throughout the debate, and I asked him if I could post his thoughts on Governor Palin's performance during the vice-presidential debate tonight. He graciously agreed, so here they are:

Any conservative who was white-knuckled going into this is relaxing by now. There were some points where she was a bit more platitudinous than one would ideally want, but overall--she's cleaning up. Biden is sighing more as the night goes on, and I can see why.
I could not agree more. Well done, Governor Palin! You did us proud.

god it's an orgy up there

"thank you for that!"

i think she was shitting bricks the whole time

Ugh. All commentators feign neutrality immediately afterwards.

Biden's talking her ear off!

chuck todd trashing biden

she didn't have a clue up there imo and i think biden did well but i don't think it will make a lick of difference

The "we need to embiggen my role" thing should get some play tomorrow

ooh... CNN online video is covering the milling about the stage.

And after the show there's the after party/ And after the party there's the hotel lobby.

There's the baby! LIFT SIMBA ALOFT!

ugh, i just blew an hour of study time for this

Charlie Gibson: "I dont' think you can come away from this without respecting both these candidates."

Sully:

10.30 pm. Biden's sobriety and authority and call for fundamental change is both reasonable and solid. It will resonate, I think. As you can read, I began this debate feeling that she was steam-rolling him. She was. But it was a steam-roller coming at you on fumes, not real fuel. She doesn't have it. Maybe one day she might. But not now. Biden's peroration was very, very strong. There is no contest here. There was only one loser: Gewn Ifill. She was intimidated, peripheral, neutered. The rules didn't help. But Ifill put in a dreadful performance.

Palin's had a big day, I think she deserves ice cream.

Ugh. All commentators feign neutrality immediately afterwards.

lol switch to MSNBC

quick question: palin quotes "city on a hill" as reagan--is this who the line is commonly associated with? i mean, duz it automatically mean 'reagan' and not 'puritans'? (John Winthrop?)

lol the Palin's left early/ Biden's still kicking it

yeah it's reagan now xpost

ifill was atrocious

Palins/Bidens

Iffil didnt give a fuck

339am going to bed

Ifill got out of the way, like the government oughta.

Gerry Ferraro's on NBC proving while she was the dullest veep candidate ever.

omg MSNBC <3 <3 <3 Rachael Maddow <3 <3 <3 "palin was borderline CARTOON-EY with her gimmicky folksiness" ... "like she was portraying a character instead of being herself"

Begala's point is good, that Palin's job tonight was to rehabilitate Sarah Palin, and she did okay.

Pat Buchanan: "of the four debaters we've seen, she was the most engaging and attractive we've seen" loooool

hang on who pays pat buchanan mind

Rachel Maddow: "next person who winks at me, I don't know if I can take it" LOL

McLaughlin and his group

Ooo. SNL Live Election Updates every Thursday. Exciting!

Pat Buchanan: "of the four debaters we've seen, she was the most engaging and attractive we've seen"

no homo

I think this debate will not change the minds of anyone who has already decided. They both did what they set out to do.
