Good Insta-advice. But there's one thing that makes the nascent Palin cult quite a bit less creepy than the Obama cult: There's a tongue-in-cheek quality to at least some of the Palin fandom. Irony and Obama-love often seem to be like oil and water.

I suppose you can say she "won" if winning is defined by skating by without a major embarassing incident that will damage the ticket politically. But if you set the bar higher and ask whether she displayed any real understanding of foreign policy and national security, given the office she's seeking, I would say that she lost pretty handily. I just don't see how anybody watching that could have honestly thought that she's ready to take over as commander in chief at a moment's notice if something were to happen to John McCain. It's one thing for partisan Republicans to defend her performance, but it's disappointing to see so many conservative commentators join in. I was watching Fox last night and Bill Kristol said she was "impressive."
