Conservatives on Palin
The morning after, and it still seems a very odd call. Maybe this is what happens when you allow an inexperienced Internet user to do an unsupervised Google search.
Ross Douthat approves anyway. David Frum doesn't:
The NYT has a useful round-up of right-of-centre blog reactions, while Ann Althouse and her commenters discuss the hair-style and, er, other things:The Palin choice looks cynical. The wires are showing... Maybe it will work. But maybe (and at least as likely) it will reinforce a theme that I'd be pounding home if I were the Obama campaign: that it's John McCain for all his white hair who represents the risky choice, while it is Barack Obama who offers cautious, steady, predictable governance.

[Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images]When's the last time we had a VP with bangs? And some cheeky people are typing: VPILF. Oh, no! That's so wrong! But, that said, I don't think it would be so unusual to have a VPILF. Why I dream of Dick Cheney every night! j/k.
