Sarah Miles at the Times of London is amused, but not pleased.
Alice Miles in the Times of London:
They call it feminism, but the Republicans have done women a disservice. They have selected a female candidate who is a cartoon – the joker in the pack who will end up just a joke.
A reader puts it differently:
When critics question her ability to hold high office, her defenders respond that she is a nice lady.
But she is not running for nice lady; she is running for vice president.
