Actually, I thought a surprising number of the lines I heard were ones crafted specifically for her, perhaps even by her. She seemed quite comfortable delivering them. I only saw her get uncomfortable when she got too far into policy stuff. Well, stuff that was just a step beyond lists. The lines about solving the energy problem by invoking every known solution in a long list seemed comfortable; but the Venezuela line, bundled with those other oil based lines, was a bit too specific for her level of knowledge right now.

My worst fear is that I've seen this movie before. In 1980. Got my fingers crossed.

I wasn't as impressed as Wolf Blitzer was - the speech was good in parts but didn't have a cohesiveness; someone mentioned it was grafted which may explain it.
The red meat stuff was pitiful - someone should tell the Republicans that the 'Drill baby Drill' chant is a huge turn-off

She definitely didn't 'look' out of her depth - but she still got a lot to prove especially in debates/interviews after the novelty fades
