"Fine here too, but I don’t think she is doing that well."

I'm on pins and needles. Can you elaborate? Based on the quotes we have been reading she sounds great. So what's up?

She's doing some double-talk - Gibson asked about the "Bush Doctrine" and she didn't seem quite sure what it was, she was asked about her national defense credentials, and she spun into an energy discussion. Gibson agreed that energy is important, but then said there is more to defense than just energy - she stuck with her energy bit.

I love her to death, but it seems a little scattered.

Palin did just fine in her interview. She kept control of the interview, didn't let Gibson bully her, and responded without hesitation on all the questions she was asked. They edited her comments down, cutting her comments off while she was still talking. You could actually still see her mouth moving as they moved from clip to clip. Palin sat forward during the talk, leaning in towards Gibson, looking him right in the face. Her body language showed she was in control. She certainly wasn't intimidated by him. When he asked her if she believed it was alright to launch attacks over the Pakistan border, she said "all options were on the table when it came to protecting our country." She was cool, calm and collected. A very forceful woman.
