As always, citizens know most fastest -- these three comments on NYT blog coverage of Palin choice particularly cogent;
Experience? Are you kidding? Alaska has a population of 600,000 people. She's been governer for two years. Before that, she was mayor of WASILLA - a puny village near Anchorage. To compare Palin to Obama is ridiculous. McCain dropped the ball on this - one more sign that the man does not have the judgment to be president. The man is 72 years old, his VP choice matters.

I think McCain has lost his mind.

...I can't wait to see the geezer and the beauty queen on those campaign posters. If he looked old before, he's going to look like a fossil next to her.
Let's see, population of Wasilla, WA (sic) approx 5,500, population of Alaska approx 670,000, population of the US approx 300 million.
I was on my student council in high school AND college. Can I be secretary of state?
