Conservative Take

This is the best Gerson - W's former speechwriter - can say of Palin.

Here are the NRO editors saying that she actually made "arguments" on Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan ... really?

Here's Byron York.

David Brooks, who thought she did fine, at least passes the straight-face test. But this comment is fun:

As the historian Ellen Fitzpatrick pointed out on PBS Thursday night, if, in 1984, Geraldine Ferraro had spoken in the relentlessly folksy tones that Palin used, she would have been hounded out of politics as fundamentally unserious.

...oh how far we've come!!!
