The Very Popular Vice Presidential Debate

Coming up very soon is the Vice Presidential debate with Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Joe Biden and Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. Yes, this will be a very important factor in the election. Yes there is much pressure on both candidates, but Good Lord is there a load more on our Sarah Palin. First, you have the moderator who has already written a book to be released when, or if, Obama becomes President, and along with that, Palin has already been drilled by the Liberal media in unfair interviews, especially by Katie Couric. If She messes up just one bit it will be all over the news, unlike the many slip-ups from both Obama and Joe Biden.

This editorial from the Austin American Statesmen brings up some good points on the importance of this debate, although I disagree with some of the facts. According to the author, Sarah Palin seemed "stumbling and inarticulate" with the interviews on CBS. Of course she did! She is on the liberal media! they hate Sarah Palin. They are going to try to fry her and make her look like a radical freak. They show you only what they want you to see, and never the complete truth. They wont tell you her good answers, or the good parts of the interview. Rush Limbaugh, one of the most listened to anchormen on the radio, brings up a great point on this. He basically says that when she asks Palin these unfair questions that she does give good answers. He even plays recordings of the interview that proves that her answers are precise and intelligent, but they wont tell you that. They make it look as bad as possible.

Another place I don't agree with the author, and apparently part of the country, is who won the Presidential debate. Honestly, I think that Obama might have been a little more secure over the first half of the debate, but not by much. On top of that, there were so many times when Obama really didn't know what to say, so he covered part of his argument up with McCain's facts. Obama said so many different times in the debate that he agreed with McCain. Many of Obama's countering arguments started off with "First of all, I agree with Senator McCain on that..." and that's just some of the evidence that Obama was torn apart on the debate of Foreign Affairs.

However, I believe the Author brings up a good fact about Joe Biden, which also supports my statements of how the Media does not show the many mistakes the democrats make. Talk about out of touch, Joe Biden failed his history class by a mile.



I'm sorry, but no democrat should have the right to call McCain old and out of touch just because he couldn't tell how many houses he had after this little incident. Also, if Sarah Palin said something like this, it would be on every media station and all over the internet for weeks.

The only thing that could make this debate hairy for the republicans is the moderator, Gwen Ifill. She also couldn't care less for Sarah Palin, and has already written a book on Barrack Obama and will be released the day he becomes President, that is if he becomes the President. It's called The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. So as you can see, she is already pro-democratic. I hope that this does not make a difference in the debate, however, she does have a reputation in the past to sway to one party in a debate.

I think the author brings out some good points in this article and I hope I cleared up some of the facts for you people reading. Enjoy the debate!
