the Vp debate.

i think the VP debate was much better than the first presidential debate. i think that both candidates did pretty well. The questions were good and it did open them up for discussion. I was not all that impressed with Palin. yes, as the coverage afterwords said, she did well and didnt fall on gher face, which was good. Except, that bothers me. I mean, when the expectations were nothing, how could she not fulfill that. She was really shaky at first and I thought she was going to be a lot worse, however, she wasnt all that great. She went around the questions frequently, almsot having her own agenda and talking points. And maybe it was becasue she didnt know how to answer the questions or just wanted to make the same campiagn points. Either way, it was bothersome and I really was not too impressed.

Biden, on the other hand, i thought was amazing. I had never really heard him. he was over-shadowed by the Palin buzz, but i was completly impressed. He not only answered all of the questions qith complete, full, statistical and realistic responses, but had a conversational appeal and really just impressed me. He is sop smart and has all the experience to balance Obama out. I really liked when they were talking about Healthcare and palin was going on about her and mccain's healthcare plan and giving the American people back $5,000 rather than raising taxes as she says Obama will do. When Biden responded by explaining how they are goingt o fund the $5,000 to everyone and taxing the healthcare pofessionals, he said at the end..."Now that's a bridge to nowhere." That was just like ZINGGG. haha. He said a few things like that, and it made an impression.

Overall, i think it was an easier debate to understand. The pres. debate went into the nitty gritty of all the war and what happened, what shoulda and coulda. And i think they need to focus on more of now and future. I'm looking forward to the next debate.
