Initially, few ads were placed, and they got scant attention, but as soon as the Drudge Report, Fox News, and other media heard about them, the ads quickly dominated election coverage

CONSERVATIVE commentators are openly expressing doubts about the candidacy of Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin following another terrible television interview. Mrs Palin's third-only TV interview with CBS's Katie Couric was widely panned as a disaster and would have made front-page news but for the financial meltdown.

BLITZER: All right. That was the first time, John, I've ever heard the parody on "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" actually use exactly what was said during the course of the week. It was a rough week for her this week.
KING: Not sure if that's art imitating life or life imitating art there as you watch. Look, everyone inside the McCain campaign will tell you, Wolf, in a private conversation they thought that interview was simply a disaster. They won't say that publicly, but they will tell you that privately.

With expectations so low for Gov. Sarah Palin, she did better than many probably thought she could. But in the second half of the debate, it was as if she ran out of things to say. Her performance was very uneven, particulary on foreign policy.
In contrast, Sen. Joe Biden got stronger as the debate went on. He showed he has the best debating skills on either ticket. He was particularly strong in defending Sen. Barack Obama and strapping Sen. John McCain tightly to President Bush. Biden handily won this debate.

Gwen Ifill, a journalist of true accomplishment, was muzzled in the wake of the predebate chaff about her upcoming book on Obama's historic candidacy.
How could Ifill get tough without the entire political and media communities scolding her for having a financial and creative interest in an Obama victory?
Palin saw the opportunity, and walked all over her.

Imagine if Sen. John McCain had chosen Mitt Romney as his running mate instead. While Romney would not likely have excited the Republican base as much as Palin did, he would be seen as a more steady hand with the nation's financial markets in crisis. And it's unlikely that McCain would be pulling out of Michigan if native son Romney was on the ticket.
