I saw her gain some confidence as the interview went along. <BR/><BR/>I think her biggest appeal at the outset of her nomination is her populist message, but I think her best moments will be on economic issues right now. If I am McCain, I am having her talk about the waste in government.

Obama said "Charlie" a number of times when things got tough, just like Palin...Gibson was just as tough on him re the capital of Israel/Palestine (rookie mistake?) peering down the reading glasses and such...and Obama explained the <BR/>"too young" criticism not by pointing out his experience, but by saying he's plucking a few grays. <BR/><BR/>A.C.
