* Tulsi is very smart. She is one of the best speakers I have seen in a long time. I expected her speech to be more or less a reprise of the 28-minute podcast she recorded, explaining why she left the Democratic Party. But, while of course the themes overlapped, her speech tonight was original and different. She delivered her speech extemporaneously and made great contact with the audience. It was a highly impressive performance.
* Tulsi does her homework. She read the American Experiment web site this morning, and worked several references to work we are doing into her speech, and into her answer to a question. Once again, smart.
* She is remarkably friendly and sociable. She chatted with everyone who came through the photo line and, after her speech, stayed to talk and pose for more pictures with a great many people. Her interest in people is obviously genuine, and I assess her as a highly authentic politician.
