Searching for news about GOP reaction to the Palin pick, and not finding much.
Have any currently serving Republicans besides Bush made a comment about the Palin selection?

The silence seems a bit odd, nobody is talking except the pundits in the media. I'm sensing dissent and disarray in the bowels of the GOP.

1. They're shocked and appalled. Trying to either . . .
1) Figure out how to put a good face on it and support her "enthusiastically" or 2) Figure out what McCain has been smoking and whether they can get some, since that's the only joy they're likely to see for the next few months.

6. Been there -- didn't see much. Actually, outside of one or two articles . . .
By NYT staffers, I didn't see anything.

4. I am sure they are not too happy with the choice.

5. Watch Fox----Apparently the Base is ecstatic. A Reporter
from the CBN Network on CNN said 100 Leaders of the Cultural
Religious Groups were jumping up and down and hugging each other.

Gingrich thinks it is great. He had recommended her in April.

Hannity is enthralled. Someone said Norquist is pleased.
