okay, fine I'll be serious.

She's clearly got a personal appeal that was sorely lacking on the GOP side. She resonates with regular people, she seems like regular people. Though she didn't really need to verbally force that issue since it comes naturally to her. She's got great articulation and presence on camera, which will help the ticket.

I didn't get much other than that from her. We still don't know anything more about her than we did yesterday, except that she can deliver catty lines pretty well.

I really reaLLY don't like her using her kids as political capital. Three of the four nominees have kids in Iraq, but she's the only one that has bragged about hers. She gave a press conference about the unexpected pregnancy with her poor 5-month-pregnant daughter in tears on stage. And of course there's Trig. Everything about the way the kids are being included is bothersome to me as a mom.
