When Barack's berserkers lost the plot
Nick Cohen: My colleagues in the American liberal press had little to fear at the start of the week. Their charismatic candidate was ahead in virtually every poll. But instead of protecting their precious advantage, they succumbed to a spasm of hatred and threw the vase, the crockery, the cutlery and the kitchen sink at an obscure politician from Alaska. Instead of following a measured strategy, they went berserk. The New York Times led the way in painting Palin as a glamor-puss in go-go boots you were more likely to find in an Anchorage lap-dancing club than the Alaska governor's office.

If Bill Clinton could juggle five chicks, Sarah Palin can manage five kids
Doug Giles: Y’know, there’s nothing worse than having a woman hand you your own testicles in a fight. And that’s exactly what Palin did to the Jobama ticket Wednesday night at the RNC. She verbally dismembered their party’s petty personal smears about her family, her “lack” of experience, and the flaming liberal’s vapid platform — and she did it in stilettos with a big grin on her face.

Sarah Palin is extraordinarily ordinary
Bruce Anderson: Sarah Palin has a quality which will guarantee her a high place in politics. She is an extraordinary ordinary person. In old Europe, no one can understand her success. In America, her story has great political power. She is the most important vice-presidential candidate in American political history.

Conservative female abuse
Michelle Malkin: There's something about outspoken conservative women that drives the left mad. It's a peculiar pathology I've reported on for more than 15 years, both as a witness and a target. Thus, the onset of Palin Derangement Syndrome in the media, Democratic circles and the cesspools of the blogosphere came as no surprise. They just can't help themselves.
