I totally buy that she's ambitious, but even watching the video of the debates for Alaska Governor it seems she's not even marginally capable in a debate. She just happened to be up against someone similarly incapable of debate that also happened to be uninteresting. She manages, with the "aww shucks" demeanor, to catch your attention. She seemed more confident, to be sure, but she still spoke in broad generalities and didn't have much of a handle on the facts, instead resting on her likability.
I'm afraid Dennis, the author of the above, is quite wrong when he comes to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is "smart", at least when you compare her to other people in the public eye generally though of as smart. She's not VP Cheney, she's not General Powell, and she's not Newt Gingrich... she's much more like President George W. Bush in intellect.
