My favorite VP debate analysis
The third in a series in which I give props to a conservative for offering truly insightful political analysis. This time we have National Review’s Rich Lowry, commenting on last night’s Vice Presidential debate between Governor Palin and Senator Joe Biden. Here’s Lowry on Gov. Palin:
A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It’s one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O’Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.
Thank you Mr. Lowry for sticking to the substance of the debate.
