Palin is fiesty, charming, and isn't afraid to go on offense.
She also is showing command of the facts so far, and clearly
learned from her Couric interview by having responses prepared on
McCain's regulatory record, mentioning tabacco and campaign finance
reform. Her answer on the housing meltdown -- putting all the blame
on Wall Street greed and predatory lenders -- was a bit too
populist for my taste, but she is McCain's running mate. If Palin
can maintain this throughout the debate, she'll be in good
shape.
