Tactically, it seems smart to me for many of the reasons you list above (esp. neutralization of Biden).  I can't say it's a strong pick until I watch her on TV, which I'll get the chance to in about 50 minutes.

Ditto. Also she is not qualified to be president on paper. She will have to rebut that presumption.

Well, she's quite charming and feisty, and of course wholesome as all get out. She didn't demonstrate she knew anything about national issues however in her speech, probably because she doesn't. I hope she is a quick study.

Agreed.  I thought the speech, however, was quite well delivered.  In that, it appears that I disagree with others.

She needs to stop clapping into the microphone, however.

The speech was quite well delivered and was without a teleprompter. Her voice quality is slightly irritating, but in a way that is part of the charm. She has this odd bit of a Wisconsin like accent for some reason. The issue is whether she will have the right stuff, when the knuckle balls get tossed her way by the rapacious press. Her task will be to demonstrate that she has the ability to ramp up with some alacrity. Chatting about reform and how great McCain is, will only get one so far.

Really good to know. Thanks.

She has a lot of self confidence. She isn't afraid of anybody. That was quite well projected I thought. And she can do it without seeming to be a castrating bitch. Not every female politician can do that.
