Gov Palin needs to learn how to obfuscate. She looked nervous and unprepared. All the points about clinton, b.o, and others having 0 foreign policy experience are valid, but they sounded like they did.

This was the gamble. Sarah's sudden stardom has boosted the energy to the point she eclipses McCain. But she has to do more than the standard speech.. That's the challenge. She may have been “vetted” iow, they looked at her background, videos,etc, but she's never been in this crucible before.
