Her speech at the convention was hard-hitting and “fun;” now her interviews are very, very professional.
I’m not feeling nervous about her.
Me neither. Take this little exchange:
GIBSON: But, Governor, I’m asking you: We have the right, in your mind, to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government.
PALIN: In order to stop Islamic extremists, those terrorists who would seek to destroy America and our allies, we must do whatever it takes and we must not blink, Charlie, in making those tough decisions of where we go and even who we target.
Her answer to his question was basically, HELL YES! She understands the meaning of the word “soveregn”. It means you do what you think is in your best interests up to the point that others have the power to stop you. She was saying that if that “final option” is necessary, we reserve the right to take it.
I liked her response very much.
