Biden Debates, While Palin Smiles And Dances Around The Questions
The Headline Reads: Palin eases the hurt in McCain-landBoy o boy, yesterday's debate was such a song and dance of sorts, except the only one dancing to their own beat was Palin. I really wanted to jump through the television screen every time she decided that she wanted to talk about something else or turn the conversation back around towards her own agenda. I mean, in all that she spoke about, I still didn't really hear concrete points for the republicans plan of action?! But hey, to be fair, Biden wasn't exactly the winner by a landslide either. My only issue with him was that he really has to work on making his points more concisely, yet I'd have to say, he really had me when he started in on Palin's "Maverick" strategy...
So true, Biden, and speaking of truths, Palin really needs to stop acting like being a "Washington outsider" is some sort of prize. Now, I can appreciate someone who doesn't conform to the status qou, but that doesn't mean you get to come to the table with less than the desirable credentials...
Going up against Democratic running mate Joe Biden, the Alaska governor offered reassurance to Republicans and conservatives unnerved by her lack of national experience and her faltering conduct in two recent TV network interviews.
She winked and smiled and shrugged through a litany of grievances against Obama on taxes, the war in Iraq and energy. She jotted down notes, glancing at them from behind her lectern as she checked off the points of her replies. And she made a case to the middle class, offering a populist answer to the cause of the current housing crisis.
"Darn right it was the predator lenders, who tried to talk Americans into thinking that it was smart to buy a $300,000 house if we could only afford a $100,000 house," she said.
Whoa, what an answer, Palin?! Like duh, but what is your party's plan to fix this mess!?! Shoot, she really had me cracking up when she referred to middle America as the Hockey Moms and Joe Six Packs - WTF! Gosh, she's just a little bit too... too... too programmed for my taste. It's almost like in her attempts to be a "regular Joe", she forgets that she's vying for the second most important job in our government. *Sigh*
If anyone missed it, you can watch the full debate below... Peace!
