Silicon Alley Insider —
As we noted a few weeks ago, Hulu and NBC finally get it. When we woke up and wanted to see how Sarah Palin did on SNL last night, we took a chance and dropped by Hulu first. And there it was!

Sarah Palin on SNL: Millions of Viral Views
Mashable! —
Alaskan small towner and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin paid a visit to the Big Apple and the studios of Saturday Night Live yesterday evening. And because her appearance all but caps the final political guest spot to be had on NBC’s resurgent skit machine, we thought it’d only be appropriate to take one big sweeping look back at the opening scenes and subsequent spoofs that have made up the humor track of the current election campaign soon to finish.
Let’s start in the present. As you’ve now learned, the real Sarah Palin made her way back to New York after a few days of ...
Hulu's SNL Sarah Palin Clips Play Overseas, More International Streaming On The Way?

There have been a whole host of memorable moments in this election cycle, and few people are as happy as I am to see this thing finally come to a close. As a political junky, I peaked way early in this process, and the protracted primary season served me heartbreak after heartbreak. At this point (having already cast my early vote), I’m ready for the pain to be over with and move on to the regular pain of day to day political coverage in a non-election season.
Given that this is one of the last opportunities for it to still be topical, I figured with only a few days left it might be a decent time to go back over the last year or ...
