I've been looking for Palin Quotes & but them in Cliff Notes form.
Bon Apetite...Doc
Katie Couric:
- the speech was "feisty, folksy, fiery, and emotional," and added she "pounded Barack Obama, attacking him on everything, from his positions on Iraq to terrorism, to taxes, and said some politicians 'use change to promote their careers.'"
Campbell Brown:
- said, "I would say also that John McCain got his attack dog."
Anderson Cooper:
- "If anyone is wondering why she is such a popular governor in the state of Alaska, you saw the answer tonight."
Joe Trippi:
- "She passed this test with flying colors, but this one was controlled, a crowd that adored her with a telepromter...we'll see how she does against Joe Biden
Sorry Joe the Prompter broke and she was Prompterless for a while as was Rudy 
- Palin's appearance "electrified a convention that has been consumed by questions of whether she was up to the job,"
- Palin "may be controversial, risky and untested on the national stage. But at the convention Wednesday night," she "proved to be an instant jolt of energy for a political party worried and demoralized for much of 2008."
- Sarah Palin makes landfall in St. Paul
- Forget the hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast and the firestorm that greeted Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's entry on the national scene.
- With a Smile on Her Face … and Steel in Her Spine
- Sarah Palin taps into America.
- Palin is a natural. What we got is what she is: poised, sharp, charming, feisty, funny, and unapologetically patriotic.
- the speech tapped into a teeming reservoir of repressed rage.
- So Sarah Palin was sarcastic and biting. That’s how a happy warrior deals with absurdity. That’s how a happy warrior rallies the troops.
- Americans haven’t been rallied. Well, they’ve been rallied now.
- rallied, at long last, in a way that resonates:
- an attractive winner with a smile on her face and steel in her spine.
- a proud woman living the ups and downs of an American life —
- a woman the other side spent a week trying to destroy by coming after those she loves most.
- With grit and good humor, she brushed those critics aside like so many Styrofoam columns.
- It wasn’t snide. Sarah Palin was grace personified.
- And now, finally, even we American Taliban have hope.
Todd Palin:
- had he known where his wife’s civic involvement would lead, “I would have had a few more questions when Sarah decided to join the PTA.”
- warning to Joe Biden, the proud husband and father said: “When my wife starts talking about reform and corruption. It’s best to get out of the way.”
Laura Ingraham: Sarah Impalen the Liberals
- A star is born. She stuck the knife in with a big smile, a kind of 'Make my day' look," said Michael Barone, conservative columnist and editor of "The Almanac of American Politics".
- "Forty-four years ago, an actor named Ronald Reagan gave a speech supporting Barry Goldwater and launching his own political career that was known ever after, by his ever increasing group of followers, simply as 'The Speech', wrote Richard Starr in the conservative Weekly Standard.
- In a column entitled "Welcome Back, Dad", Michael Reagan, adopted son of the late president, wrote: "I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she!"
- Larry Kudlow asked whether "we're not witnessing the Western frontier version of Margaret Thatcher".
- He added: "She connected really well with middle-class working folks, both in cultural and social terms, which is no small feat: values matter and the Democrats are in trouble here - big-time. The more they go after Palin culturally, as they have already, the more trouble they'll fall into."
- One blogger described her as "Margaret Thatcher with five kids and a Klondike drawl"
- Jonah Goldberg enthused: "She was put on this earth to do two things: kill caribou and kick butt. She's all out of caribou."
- Fred Thompson: "She is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose ... with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt."
