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.

Gibson was snotty and condescending, but come on, we knew that all the reporters are like that. It's part of the game

“Gov Palin needs to learn how to obfuscate. She looked nervous and unprepared.”

She did look a little nervous. (Wouldn’t anybody in her position be?) She was not at all unprepared! And she was very genuine and strongly convicted in her views. I was convinced they were her own.

I’m not unhappy with Gibson. He gave her a tough interview, and she got through it great.

I think it’s great that she withstand the challenge.

I am so proud of our next VP.

Re: Gov Palin needs to learn how to obfuscate.

Don’t necessarily agree with that. A large part of the reason so many people like her is because she says what she means and means what she says. I would hate to see her turn into another DC player.

Re: Gibson was snotty and condescending,

On this I agree 100%.

I agree she seemed nervous at certain points, which disappointed me. She did turn it around here & there, owever, when she could interject an opinion she was prepared for. I didn't like the way Gibson treated her, however he had me thinking, "Wow, this woman could really be president someday, maybe even "sooner" then we think...and would I feel comfortable with that?"

Now, I like Sarah & thought McCain rocked the world with this pick! But if, God forbid, McCain drops dead within a short period of time, is a "President Palin" ready to lead my country in all aspects of the job? Jeez, I don't know. I know she has more exec. exp. then the others, but this interview did raise some doubts for me. But, McCuda's the best we got for now so...gotta run with it.
