I wouldn't have known what to expect of her, I, like millions of others, don't know her at all. On the other hand she knows herself, her vison for America, her experience and her stands on the issues and hopefully she knew that McCain's differed from hers in ways. She surely knew that being the vice president she has the potential to take on the responsibilities of the president should something happen. She knew what she'd be getting into. She either believes she's experienced, smart and educated, and far thinking devoted enough to lead our country or she knows she isn't and is willing to let us take the risk. If it's the latter, perhaps it isn't mostly the ideal of doing public service she's aspiring to, but putting herself in the public eye--it shows a lot about judgment and character. Of course, she wouldn't be the first or only one to seek office for that reason. There's no way to truly know.
