I don't feel bad for her at all. She chose to put herself in that situation and then didn't like the results.

As for her being more prepared today. I don't think so. She is now just a commentator on the news so she gets briefings and basic info and then gives her opinion about them. Most politicians are similar to that. They have so much coming at them from so many directions that they get what they need to know from advisers and go from there, but they likely don't have an in-depth understanding of it. However, from what I understand, she had little or no interest in actually learning this stuff and listening to people. She just thought she could charm everyone and she quickly found out that doesn't work.

Could she be a good VP? I suppose. The VP doesn't really do a whole lot other than make publicity appearances and preside over the senate and even then they rarely get involved in anything unless there is a tie or they are asked to by the president. The worry for me is that the president would die and she would become president. That is scary.
