She is terrible.  I can't stand the focus group segments.  She actually has a small business owner in the group, and all she can say is that everyone else in the focus group didn't like Joe the plumber as much as she did.  Ask her some questions!  For example, as a small business owner like Joe the F-ing Plumber, which candidate's economic policies resonated more with you?  Why?  Brutal.  Just brutal. 

I just realized it now, after all my obsessing over the coming election: I know why Barack Obama wants to be president, it is so clear watching him debate.  Watching John McCain debate, I'm at a loss.  Why does he want to be president?  There is no clear answer: and that speaks to his floundering, wayward campaign, his erratic responses to issues, and his odd debate performances.  I don't think he knows why.  He has some knowledge, but little purpose.  He has experience, but no wisdom.  Underneath it all, that's "why" McCain will lose and Obama will win.
