What I saw of Governor Palin's ABC interview today and early reports on the interview suggest that while she was prepared, she wasn't prepared well enough.
She didn't know what the Bush doctrine was, for instance. She suggested that she was qualified to be commander in chief because she knows about oil. She suggested that Georgia should be part of NATO and that the US would be obligated to go to war with Russia because of it, if Georgia was attached, which is factually correct but reminiscent of how WWI began - I think the fact that she brought up war with Russia has a lot of people in Europe worried tonight. She did back down a little on global warming, but its clear she and McCain disagree. She tried to wiggle out of her comment of Iraq being a war being fought for God by referencing Lincoln, but ultimately came across as a religious zealot anyway, at least to non fervent Christians.
I think she did well enough for the GOP supporters, but Obama supporters are probably sleeping a little easier tonight. Anyway this is the ABC news link and this is Huffingtonpost's summary.
