Sarah Palin ABC News Interview, Part 2

9/11/089/12/08

My first observation is that on today's interview from Palin's home, they used a softer lens. Yesterday I noticed that Sarah looked a little harsh. Today, she and Charlie Gibson were both "softer." I wonder who made that call, Palin or Gibson?

More thoughts on the interviews later.

Bush Doctrine?

Gee, is the "Bush Doctrine" going to go down in the analogs of history like the "Monroe Doctrine?" I didn't know there was such a thing as the Bush Doctrine. I'm referring to the question that Charlie Gibson threw at Palin in his interview.

Phenomenon of Palin

Sarah Palin's interview tonight with Charlie Gibson on ABC News proves her to be a woman ready to be Vice President of the United States. I loved when Charlie asked her if she had ever met a head of state? Here's what she said:

"I have not and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you. But, Charlie, again, we've got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as usual and somebody's big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they've had opportunities to meet heads of state ... it has been overwhelming to me that confirmation of the message that Americans are getting sick and tired of that ... good old boy network that has been the Washington elite."

YOU GO GIRL! Here's a link to the video of the first interview.

What is really amazing to me is the scrutiny that this woman is under ... from the glasses that she wears to her makeup and suits, to how she styles her hair. People are clamoring to get her eye glasses. My gosh. A reporter mentioned in a news story that she has two Blackberries--watch, there will be a surge in sales of Blackberries. I just got one a couple of weeks ago, thank goodness I got mine!


She certainly has stirred this election up and I think she's getting inside Obama's head--for example, his comment the other day about pigs and lipstick. Big news! I don't think he was saying Sarah is a pig, I think he's been put off balance by her.

Sarah Palin was a brilliant choice for Vice President by McCain and I'm looking forward to the rest of the interviews with Charlie Gibson. This Presidential election is fantastic and exciting--thanks Sarah!
