Roundup here.
And HotAir notes that Palin didn't even make the DNC's attack site for potential eeeeeeevil Republican VP nominees. Heh.
Ed Morrisey points out this interesting contrast between rookie Palin and rookie Obama:
Palin spent her entire political career crusading against the political machine that rules Alaska — which exists in her own Republican party. She blew the whistle on the state GOP chair, who had abused his power on the same commission to conduct party business. Obama, in contrast, talked a great deal about reform in Chicago but never challenged the party machine, preferring to take an easy ride as a protegé of Richard Daley instead.
So, the Democrats put the rookie in the big chair and the veteran in the number two spot; Republicans put the veteran in the big chair and the rookie in the number two spot. Curious.
Another thing I find interesting is that Palin has been a favored pick of conservative bloggers for a long time. Bloggers were never really happy about Romney, and they threatened mutiny if McCain nominated Joe Lieberman. Apparently McCain spent a lot of time listening to conservative bloggers and the grass roots of his party. A lot of bloggers are just as smart as the paid political consultants who advise McCain and Obama. I'm glad to see that McCain recognizes this as well.
