Mostly reprinted from Twitter:

Watching CNN’s little undecided-voter meter, it’s clear that people know she’s pandering every time she says “hockey mom” or “Joe six-pack.”

Every time she says “nucular,” a Democrat gets his voter registration card.

… did she just imply that she supports Cheney’s gross abuse of his authority? OH. No. She came right out and said it.

Biden is making good points, but he’s repetitive and didactic. He’s coming off like an irritated history professor.

Palin seems to be in love with the word “maverick” regardless of its actual meaning. I suspect she secretly thinks she’s running alongside Tom Cruise — the hot version from 1986 with the nifty aviator glasses.

This is a book for professional web designers and developers who already know HTML and CSS, and want to learn to build sites with WordPress.
