(Have never ridden a pony in my life, just looking to bring back some steampunk equestrian chic. I might have to settle for handlebar streamers on my bicycle).

Every lane of the harbour bridge will be a cycle lane.
Not so fast. I assume Mary Margaret will join me and several hundred thousand other little girls in petitioning for a pony lane?

Simon - genius.

Agreed, Biden came across as a very smart, very upright guy. I hadn't seen much of him before, and I now want to see more.
And since it's beer o'clock, doesn't he have a nice smile? If the contest were decided on smile-wattage alone, I think Obama & Biden would beat the beauty queen and the grimacer.

Good call. A subliminal Reaganism to go along with the three (or was it four?) invocations of him by name. I almost expected him to show up, Hamlet's-dad-like, but I guess she forgot to draw the necessary pentacle on the stage...

Oh, and, oh my god, Joe Biden's response to her whole "As a mom" schtick was amazing - not just affecting, but effective.
And instead of pausing and acknowledging it, Palin just chirped on with her next prepared answer.

I just want to note that she used the phrase 'back in the day' in her closing statement.
Christ. :)
Did you also catch "Say it ain't so, Joe, there ya go again!"
And she winked at the audience. Twice.
Winking during a televised job interview for VP is like... I dunno, like putting exclamation marks all the way through your application letter!!!!

No, Paul, I'm with you too. She debated well. Mainly because she has done little but prepare for it for the last 3 weeks.
You could tell precisely which questions came as surprises, too, because her syntax fell apart and she muffed her answers (the questions about Dick Cheney, and about whether she'd ever changed her mind on a matter of principle - Biden's answers were brilliant on both).
For sheer entertainment and illlumination value, it was tons better than the Presidential face-off. What I wouldn't give to see a tag-team debate with all four of them on stage.

And Hendrik Hertzberg from the New Yorker.

Whoops, yeah. What Lucy said.
