Watching her on television just now, I am impressed. Excellent down-to-earth speaker. A real person who seemingly has more identification with us common folk than anyone I've seen in national politics ever. For a lot of reasons, she's gonna be a tough debate for Joe B.

On a more male chauvinist view, A.) I was disappointed that she's evidently not related to Michael Palin --- love Monty Python, and B.) she's kinda cute, in that Tina Fey style -- tough jaw, great eyes, kinky glasses.

It's gonna be an interesting next 2+ months.
