1. She defies any and all stereotypes. 2. She is soft-spoken and very feminine. 3. She has all the facts at her fingertips. 4. She can think on her feet. 5. She is extremely courteous and impresses the audience with her desire to find a workable solution rather than to show off or to humiliate her opponent. 6. She is articulate; she does not panic; and she takes her time. She makes it look like she really is thinking about the questions rather than trotting out pre-made, fit-all answers.
In short, she can't be beat.
