And she just gave the base great head tonight.

She just gave the best "Culture Warrior" speech of their convention; the question is, will that sway independents or not.

A lot of women get catty with other women, so it'll be interesting to see how women felt about this speech; she got in a lot of smug and sarcastic moments that rile women up in a different way than it does men.

One huge flaw is this harping on the "Bridge to Nowhere" which she supported before she was against it. She'll be put on the spot because of that.

All the talking points were there tonight, as expected, but in a one-on-one situation, she's going to have to be able to deal with many complicated issues and really give a sense that she knows what she's actually talking about. The stuff that was written for her about other countries and energy was one of the clearest moments that she was just reading off the prompter.

As far as first-impressions go, I can't tell if she scored out there or not. She just jumped in as a newcomer and went on the attack, and I really have no idea how that's going to play, since it's expected that newcomers must introduce themselves first and be liked by people first before they are "allowed" to go on the attack.
