Looking most specifically...
Bill Kristol is looking at some of the exit questions and finding some interesting stuff.
Geraldo, and some of the other NYC muckity Strategy Room mucks were going on and on last Friday as to Sarah Palin's impact on the GOP ticket. Like some other media types who are highly inflated with their own opinion he rolled his eyes back in his head and snarkily remarked someting along the lines of something about her being a ditz.
On the plane earlier today I was stuck without Fox News coverage so I was cursed to turn on MSNBC and listen to the talk radio hack Smirshconesh (SP?) as he served up perjoratives about the most popular Governor in the nation for segments on end. His obvious conclusion was that Palin was such a readily evident overall negative for the McCain ticket.
Kristol looking at the data and specifically the exit poll questions relating to how voters felt about her presence on the ticket... added up the percentages and reported that she had been a net plus.
To which Brit Hume added something like, does anyone believe that if Palin had not been on the ticket that McCain wouldn't have had a prayer of making it a 50/50 race that it ended up being?
In a word...
No.
