Her speech at the convention was hard-hitting and “fun;” now her interviews are very, very professional.

I’m not feeling nervous about her.

I think this author needs to get a life. She has no concept of what pressure the woman was under, or of the editing process that takes place after an interview.

My personal opinion, Charlie Gibson’s interview will do more to help Palin, no matter what her answers, because of the condescending way he’s conducting it.

Regarding the Pakistan question — I thought she should have said something like:

“Charlie, Charlie, Charlie where did that question come from? The only one in this race, who's ever advocated invading Pakistan is Barack Obama. Pakistan is our ally in the war on terror & I would want to keep things that way.”

From the limited interview parts I’m allowed to watch, Palin seemed careful and somewhat guarded, and rightly so. I’m glad she has the discretion to know when people are out to get her.

Well give Sarah a little break. Of course, she sounded a little canned. It was her first interview at national level, and the first goal was to avoid stepping in something smelly. She will get more spontaneous after she gets a feel for the remoras who are doing the interviewing and for the style of editing she can expect from them.

“Sarah Palin and John McCain are 4 more years of Bush policies!!!!!!!111”

“OMG!!!! Sarah Palin doesn’t even know what the Bush Doctrine is!!!111”

In a way the author is right, but that is probably just an effect from the setting and editing of the interview. Tonights was much more relaxed, much more fresh. She didn’t back down from her conservative values and I loved the comments about Hillary.

.........what I felt last night.

Perhaps, it a chrissy pee down the leg because Sarah is that good!!

Sarah Palin has got to get back to being Sarah Palin again.

Get lost with your crapola to even suggest she was off her game. Proganda is too old to play to those in the know. What's the prize given for a good attempt to bring 'doubt' to voters?

Go critique hussein - for starters - easy assignment - find out why his wife was not w/him in NYC on 9/11 - the REAL truth.

I thought she was great in the interview. AND it turns out that even Gibson doesn’t agree with his own defintion of the Bush Doctrine.

Governor Sarah Palin was right to ask Gibson to clarify his question. More over, it turns out that Gibson lied when he said he was using her “exact words”. Governor Palin was sharp enough to question the accuracy of his quote and it turns out she was right and Gibson was wrong.

She was brilliant in the interview and what others expected to be sour notes have actually made it evident that she knows what she is talking about even when others only appear to know what they are talking about.
