I think this clearly did happen to a great extent.

And there is no doubt that she lacks in-depth knowledge of geopolitical issues.

But honestly, if that were a criterion, Obama couldn't have been elected, either. Two years ago, when he began his run, his ignorance of these subjects was astonishing, yet, he has been able to convince even Republican pundits now that he has the knowledge to be Commander-in-chief.

Even those who opposed him (me, for example) now give him credit for having acquired that knowledge quickly. IN fact, most ANYONE can acquire enough knowledge to have answered Gibson's and Couric's questions adequately over the 2-3 year period. But over 2-3 weeks, it is a lot to do. Palin can easily acquire that knowledge over the coming 2 years if she chooses to do so.

What CANNOT be so easily learned is administrative skills -- Palin has them, and we don't yet know whether Obama does.
