Oddly enough, I took that commentary as at least partially sarcastic when I saw the show the first time around. But viewing it again, it looks like it was meant as an endorsement.
Her biggest negative, in my view, is that she's running a campaign that almost seems designed to lose in November. Every time she cites "experience" as a strength, she says not just, "I'm better than Obama", she also says, "McCain is better than I am."
My impression is that she's just like Obama, minus the winning personality, and minus the good judgement to vote against the authorization of force. At least she had the good sense to finally recognize that vote as her most costly mistake.
That said, I agree with the "any Democrat" point. That's not entirely true; I'd have a hard time voting for some of the fringe kooks in the party. But I read "any Democrat" as implying "any credible Democrat", not anyone who happens to be a member of the party.
