Ok, now I have seen her give a speech. I thought there was no substance, just a lot of fluff. I thought, despite the crowd's urging, her speech was flat and extremely well rehearsed. I was not convinced that she had much to say for herself, except when talking about her family. I think Biden is up for this, and will challenge her, not necessarily on her record, but on what she would do if she were VP.I thought her actual points about Obama were simplistic exaggerations. Her condemnation of his energy proposals, and the oft repeated-He will meeet face to face with terrorists charge were just flat.

Also, don't be fooled now that the Republicans have (despite what we thought would be a lack of using the experience argument earlier in this thread) got an ace up their sleeve. The Daily Show last night had two clips-one of Karl Rove lambasting the experience of Tim Kane, saying, no offense, but being mayor of Richmond, Lieut. Gov, etc was not sufficient executive experience, while just days ago, saying that a small town Alaska mayor and governor was more than qualified for being VP. As they used to say on That 70's Show-BURN!
Total contradiction, but hey, it is Karl Rove.
