#1 What are her beliefs and proposed policies? She seems to have moved around a lot for one so young. Is that good or bad?

#3 From what I hear, she's more of a Tea-publican.

Which, if true, sets her in good light for me.

#8 Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich, Anh "Joseph" Cao, Ed Gillespie and Mary Matalin. Color me impressed with her networking skills. Still not sure about her politics.

#10 Is she dilutive or additive. I sense the latter.

I've always wondered why black women have taken so long to jump at GOP slots - such an obvious opportunity, particularly in rural or inner city slots. There's also a candidate in a Mississippi primary as well.

If they find a few in NE or Cal. I'll be doubly impressed.
