the press is going to grill her on foreign policy, and if she has any mis-steps, or won't answer the questions, it's going to look bad.

Obama's campaign already sounds condescending.

I don't know that the women of america are going to be thrilled with Obama's camp belittling this woman.

they should keep their mouths shut for now. if she comes out impressively it's really going to make them look bad.

Possibly. She wasn't selected for her foreign policy experience, but we'll see how she does. One mistake people are making IMO is comparing her to Joe Biden. Except for one debate, VPs don't run against VPs. They are just there to enhance the Presidential candidate.

Contrasting how Palin compliments McCain to how Biden compliments Obama is a better approach.

Someone could have said the same thing about Harry Truman not so long before he became perhaps the greatest foreign policy president of all time.

The same about Abraham Lincoln as well, the most anti-Mormon president of all-time.

Abe was a modern man. A man ahead of his times. An enemy of barbarism's relics.

They sound bitter about McCain's experience attacks. Must be working.

Obama and his campaign have already shown a willingness to belittle women.
