VP Debate

During the vice presedential debate, i was impressed by Sarah Palin's quick and intelligent responses after her humiliating interview with Katie Couric. She made her pollitical stances very clear from the beginning of the debate to the end. Biden, who was expected to beat her by many networks, wasnt as impressive as advertised in my oppinion.

Hey you it rained today what are you going to do about it!?

It was cold and rainy today the perfect day to roll out of bed at the crack of noon... How do you feel about that? do you think rainy days should be sleep in late days?!

VP Debate

In comparison to other debates that I have watched I noticed that there were less promises due to the current economy. There were low expectations for Sarah Palin she ended up doing well. Biden’s main focus seemed to be pairing McCain to the Bush administration.

Vice President Debate

I thought the debate had a good and interesting pace. Since it was Palin's first debate action, I felt she did a great job of communicating with the people. She did not break eye contact with the camera so it seemed as though she was talking to the population and not the moderator. However, I felt that Palin overused the phrase " Maverik" and was caught offguard and even dodged some of Bidens statements and questions. Biden looked at the moderator and not the camera at first, but he wound up changing that. It is obvious that he is experienced in political matters, and it certainly showed in the way he debates and the way he can talk about issues in the government. I personally feel that the debate was a tie because Biden tried to knock down Palin and she held her own and sometimes had Biden on his heels. I would love to see the two candidates debate again to help in my decision for Election '08.
