On the Bush Doctrine question, I'm willing to cut her a little slack. Not a whole lot, mind you, but Bush has been dancing around the exact meaning of his doctrine since he first articulated it in 2001. I could understand how someone who's not in the Bush administration might wonder just exactly what version of the Bush Doctrine is being discussed. It's not yet anywhere near as clear as the Monroe Doctrine, or even the Eisenhower Doctrine and the Carter Doctrine.

True, but it's a darn sight closer in time than any of those others, and it's been discussed a great deal over the last five years int he national press.

To me this is a double failure. A failure on her part to be an informed citizen, and a failure on the part of the McCain team to ensure that she has the ability to answer rather basic and obvious questions.

I take your other point about the press staff, but I think that's sort of a distinction without a difference.
