VP Debate Watch PART I

Tonight is the night! Palin and Biden will go head to head in the vice presidential debate. There's been so much talk about this debate, especially since Palin bombed her interview with Katie Couric. It was very sad to watch...some of her answers were so far off in left field. I still don't understand how Alaska's close proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. I don't live that far from Mexico, but does that make me a foreign policy expert? Umm...no! Everyone has an off day, but that interview clearly illustrated that Palin doesn't have the basic knowledge to make well informed decisions for this country...maybe Russia...lol, but diffently not the US. I guess that's why her advisors have been keeping her from the media. I can't express how much it bothers me that someone with "so much executive experience" could barely answer a question about foreign policy and could not site any supreme court rulings that she disagreed with. Umm...I need you to know your history boo! If nothing, you should be able to cite the political events/cases on which your political beliefs were built upon.

Anyways, enough about that! So now everyone is wondering how she will perform in the debate and should Biden hold back when debating her? I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous. I have a feeling that she'll do just fine. She seems to perform well under pressure. She better...she's been prepping all week at the McCain compound...lol. Plus, she's good at putting on show...lol. But in this debate her sarcastic one-liners are not going to cut it! The election is too close for all that! I wonder if she'll come off too rehearsed? She lacks that geniune factor to me. I just hope that Biden can hold his own in the debate and not worry about coming down too hard on her. He shouldn't treat her any differently because she's a woman. If it were Hilary, gender wouldn't be an issue. I think it's because she's new to the political scene that people want to shield and protect her. But like I've said over and over again...we're talking about the vice president of the United States...second in command. Whether female or male, the people have a right to know who these candidates are and where they stand on the issues. Overall, beside stating why their running mate is the best choice for president, I really hope that they are able to articulate 1.)why they should be vp, 2.) what are their plans as vp, 3.) views on the current economic crisis/what plans they would implement to alleviate the damage, and last 4.) how do they plan to make sure that the president keeps his word on the things he promised in his campaign? We shall see. Stay tuned...
