Biden/Palin Debate

  I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by Governor Palin's debate performance. I must also say that I am glad that I do not have to sit through another debate with her in it. There's just something about her voice and all of that preppy talk that gets on my nerves.

  Palin, as was expected, dodged a few questions, one dealing with McCain's stance on de-regulation, by changing the subject. This she did quite a few times. Palin made many attempts to pass her and her family off as your average middle class family, which was rather sickening to me. She is not middle class and hasn't been for some time. She did not win this debate but she did manage to not screw up as she has done in interviews the past few weeks. For that, the Republicans will say that she won.

   Biden was well armed with the facts and he also made many attempts to link John McCain's policy's with the Bush administrations policy's. What is really important for Biden is that he kept his cool and he spoke to those of us watching the debate. I should note that Palin did this also at times.

  I do not think that this debate performance was a so-called game-changer. We'll see what the polls say in the next few days.
