Ok, I finally had a chance to watch it.

To be honest, I think she came off as a human being.

She wasn't ready for the national stage - she thought Alaska politics were 'rough'? We all like to think that our life experiences prepare us for the next step - but her 'next step' was a doozy.

On matters of foreign policy, *I* knew more than she did - and I didn't need the movie to tell me that. I remember that from the campaign itself. But she *does* have "it".

If she'd been prepping for this a year in advance instead of just a few day's notice, I think she would done a lot better. "The world" is an awful lot to absorb in that short amount of time.

Granted, since then, she *seems* to have drunk the kool-aid (bi-partisan grape kool-aid) that you NEVER admit a mistake - never show weakness and, when caught making a mistake, double-down on it and insist you were right anyway.
