by Karen Frillmann

DRAYFUS: I thought it was nine innings, and I thought she hit it out of the park, surprised me by being far better than I expected. She was poised and articulate, funny.

ESTADILLO: She was so comfortable - spoke directly to the crowd and she was so confident about her own accomplishments and why she believed in John McCain's and that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
