I really like Michele, but she doesn’t have half the instincts that Sarah has. It’s too bad too, because she is so bright and is such a strong trailblazer in her own sense and direction. I see big things for her in Sarah’s administration. There’s an angel in the whirlwind.
My hunch is that Michelle is "slow on her feet." Not stupid (she's a tax attorney), just easily swamped when things happen fast. Nice smile, but not much substance or wit in interviews.
