Agree. I think she was well aware that she would be viewed as a partisan. She wasn’t great, but not bad either.

Palin is really smart. She knew Ifilll was on thin ice, so Palin took the opportunity to redraw the guidelines when she said, "I want to answer these not like you expect, but talk directly to America."

She basically had a freebie coming from Ifill, and knew Ifill couldn't dare challenge her or risk being exposed as in the tank for O.

Great move on Palin's part to see the crack in the wall and walk right through.
