She did a lot better than I expected, but then I expected her to freeze and stand there silently for about 20 seconds before bursting into tears crying, "I don't know what I'm doing here! I wanna go home!"So she did better than that. But that's not saying much. The fact is she evaded most of the questions, preferring to find a way, however inartfully, to wind her way to one of the handful of carefully rehearsed talking points she crammed for at McCain's Sedona ranch these last four days. Even her usually charming folksy-cutesy stuff seemed canned and awkward. She demonstrated no knowledge of foreign policy, world affairs, American military policies, or the economy. She added nothing to the debate, and I mean our national debate: who has the best plans for moving our country forward? In the end, though, she did no harm, and I suppose that's all the McCain folks were hoping for. After all, it could have been a lot worse.
