I shouldn't be so hard on Katie. Not exactly Owen Bennett-Jones, but I am certainly pleased that she pressed Palin.

The cynic in me says that making Palin look like an airhead is like shooting fish in a barrel (once you get her tied to the chair and bar the exits). And there's now some blood in the water. News organizations that 3 weeks ago were marveling at the Palin phenomenon will now have to get in on the kill or they'll look stupid...er.

So maybe a little easier to "get tough" now?

So, who won tonight?
