Vice Presidential Debate - My Thoughts

Hey Gang,

It's been a coupple of weeks since I've posted. I have been swamped in the office and have missed the opportunity to update you on so much that's been going on.


Right now, I'm watching The Vice Presidential Debate between Senator Joe Biden and Govenor Sarah Palin. Just allow me to say that and I truly do understand why it's taken so long for us to hear from Govenor Palin; she can't hold up her end of this type of conversation well. She needs to be more seasoned. Her dress rehearsal for this evening is evident. she's just not solid to me. She reminds me of a kindergarten school teacher. The faces she makes are comical, although I believe she feels they're supposed to be comforting and familiar and the voice she projects almost sounds patronizing and immature.


Admonished because she's not answering the questions, Sarah Palin says that she may not answer the proposed questions the way the moderator or Senator Biden would like her to, but that she will answer them the way the American people would like. As well she stresses how she will also make sure the American people know her track record. Well, it's 9:21pm (21 minutes into the debate) and I still don't know her track record. Oh, she did just say that she is an exert at "Energy." Yet, I still don't know her track record.


I do have a problem with her not being able to answer the question about removing something from the table now that we're suffering economically. Let's face it people, no one president has ever been able to uphold all of their initial campaign promises. Something is bound to fall through the cracks. She blames her 5 week tenure on her inability to answer this question. however, she promises the McCain will keep all of his promises. McCain has just been hurled under the bus ya'll.


She's simply not answering th moderator's questions, instead she recreates her own questions and answers those instead. WHAT IS SHE DODGING?????



Govenor Palin will certainly be a restrained VP. McCain has not expressed his interest in having her st in on the most mportant decision malking meetings. Whereas Barack desires his VP in his meetings to keep him on track. Palin has onl been asked to monitor energy and schools. Why not foreighn policy, health care, education, economy etc?

Obama and Biden support same sex constitutional benefits as heterosexual couples. However, they do not support same sex marriage. They are not against redefining marriage; one man-one woman. This is the only point, of many, they agree upon.

Oh yeah, if she uses the word "maverick", "greed on wall St." "energy reform" and the ability to point fingers" I will most certainly need to smack someone. without these she'd have nothing to talk about.

Overall - Govenor Palin was robotic and limited in her answers, due to being over media trained. However, she's didn't fall on her face. She was ok.

Joe Biden was passionate and on point with what he wanted to stick with. He was clear and poised. He made me more of a believer.

Biden wins this one!
