Hard Pressed

As we all know, Governor Palin had her first interview with the press. And “press” is the right word for it. Charlie Gibson cut her no slack, which I think is fine, though it should go both directions. (Seems like Obama gets nothing but slack.) I'm just glad she handled everything so well. And she really did. She was composed, forthright, and neatly side-stepped trap after trap while still making her position clear. I have always thought she could handle the VP job, but I wasn't sure she could handle the presidency immediately until I watched that interview. Now I think she could handle anything, yesterday. Glad she's on my side.
