It's warm and comfortable over there at Kos, isn't it?

I have yet to see objective evidence that Biden has that much more on the ball than Palin does. It isn't McCain's campaign that has to run behind their VP candidate like a circus worker following an elephant with a shovel.

From the other side, an interview with Lorne Michael.

What do you think Palin gained from her appearance?

I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman. This was her first time out and she's had a huge impact. People connect to her.

She's a ratings magnet, too — do you think she can land a development deal if this VP thing doesn't work out?

She could pretty much do better than development. I think she could have her own show, yeah.

Speaking of Kos, it's amusing that nobody sees anything unusual about a media that spends months, or even years, utterly blasting a politician, then crows about the media's own polls showing the popularity ratings going down.
