Palin's speech

I didn't actually watch it. I don't watch TV, and party conventions are so scripted and controlled that they're basically infomercials.

The reviews I'm seeing around the net suggest that she did pretty well. Of course the most important reaction is that of the voting public, which we won't know until a few days from now, when polls start registering the effects of the speech and of the convention in general.

But she certainly wasn't a disaster, which is what the Democratic ticket needed to have happen at this point.

And the election is now just 61 days away.
