Reaction to Sarah Palin, in a Nutshell

I'll leave it to others- such as The Huffington Post- to cover the swirling details of the Sarah Palin story. I will focus instead on trying to summarize the punditocracy's reaction over the past week to McCain choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate.

In short, here's the story in condensed form:

Choosing Palin was inspired, game-changing, gutsy, and bold. It was a brilliant, but risky choice that helped McCain reclaim his maverick image and electrified the conservative base. Although some critics have said the move was cynical or even breathtakingly reckless, the fact of the matter is that Palin is a dream girl for the GOP.
