1. She has "untrustworthy" eyes.

:shrug:

Just a first impression - I know almost nothing about this woman.

3. Odd, I am having a hard time finding too much on her

A key ally of Georgia's main opposition leader Mikhail Saakashvili, the 39-year-old Ms. Burdzhanadze is a lawyer who has served in Georgia's parliament since 1995.
Like Mr. Saakashvili, she had once backed Mr. Shevardnaze, but has recently become a critic of what she calls his corrupt administration.

She is considered a moderate within Georgia's opposition, and is known for being a measured and calm politician. She is also widely popular with women voters and a champion for women's rights.

Ms. Burdzhanadze is the author of more than 20 published articles on international law, and is a professor of international relations at Tblisi State University.
