My argument is that she has not spoken, to date, in a manner that demonstrates she has acquired what myself and thousands (if not millions) of conservatives consider to be the basic knowledge portfolio of a competent CIC.

Again, I believe she is right on the issues, of fine character and a superb politician. It MAY be enough to put her over the top...but I don't believe it will.

Yes she has.
Read her Facebook postings, WSJ Op-Eds, Washington Post Op-Eds, etc etc. She has mapped out excatly what her positions are on the current hot button policy issues.

Maybe we should make a list of those 20 books, and assign her a tutor. She could turn in a log of how many pages she reads per day.

Then we could have her take a multiple choice exam, as well as short answer and essay-type.
