I just watching her and I was impressed, Villages Kuhuna has a great point about experience.

Maybe we should just judge the candidates on their qualifications, and NOT on the talking points.

Per Fox News when she was serving on an energy commission she was the victim of unwanted sexual advances and reported same to the Govenor. When he blew her off she decided to take his job. She ran, she won. If and I say if she feels, "My way or the highway!" then it's about time we have someone who has real conviction. When the congress earmarked the "Bridge to Nowhere" for Alaska, as governor she said thanks but no thanks. "If Alaskans wanted a bridge, we'd build one ourselves." As Governor she sold the governor's private jet saying the governor could fly commercial like everyone else! Per Fox News she has close to a 90 percent approval rate in Alaska. She has bucked the good old boy network including her own party. I think McCain just stole BHO's mantra of change. Her son enlisted in the Army on 9/11/07 and will be deployed as a member of the Stryker Brigade on 9/11/08.
