Well, if this is how the whole thing went I would say she did as expected: just fine. The thing about Governor Palin that I find attractive is that she states her positions clearly and they are conservative. No hedging or wishy-washy political speak. She tells you where she stands and you can make up your mind without having to parse every sentence.
Or, in other words, she is exactly the person Obama claims to want to debate. He says he wants to debate issues and substance. So here she is. Let’s debate. I am 100% certian that Governor Palin is ready and willing to do so. Are the democrats?
“...you can make up your mind without having to parse every sentence.”
That is a trait I think of folks who know what they believe, and believe in it - regardless of how others might view it. I also think that it comes from your OWN thoughts and convictions, and not due to some “coaching by former Bush officials”.
Compared to many politicians who are more interested in not turning off any voters (”Well, a human life is blah-blah-blah-blah ad naueseum, but that is above my pay grade”).
