Lynn Sweet says "yes."

Andrew Sullivan, in his typical measured tone, calls Palin "an absurdity" and "a joke."

Yuval Levin says Palin came off "a bit nervous but pretty strong."

Josh Marshall says on the issue of Georgia entering NATO Palin merely articulated "the logical inference of McCain & Co.'s unhinged policy vis a vis Russia" - and then has to post an update explaining why this is somehow different from Obama and Biden, both of whom support the same policy. Oops.

Kirsten Powers says ABC News and Charlie Gibson botched the interview with questions and editing.

Hugh Hewitt thought Gibson was tough but fair, and that Palin responded well on every question except the Bush Doctrine.

Steve Benen of Washington Monthly wrote: "Gibson exceeded my expectations, asking reasonable, substantive questions, and Palin fell short of my expectations, appearing unprepared, programmed, and generally unaware of current events."

Taylor Marsh's concise summary: "Review? Lowered expectations going in. Quick study. Holds her own. Point to Palin."

Lanny Davis says she passed last night, but the jury remains out: "The question remains: can she avoid the "James Stockdale" moment (which she did tonight--we can say that much) --she didn't say, 'Who am I? What am I doing here?". She did tonight. But if I were the McCain campaign, I'd still be worried that at any time, unexpectedly, Governor Palin might have such a spontaneous moment. And then that could be the turning point."

So what did you think? Email me and I'll post responses a bit later this morning.
