I have to say, Sarah Palin really surprised me in the debate tonight. She was much more articulate and composed compared to recent interviews. She seems to really have nailed down the art of deflecting questi
ns she did not want to answer. Joe Biden, on the other hand, seemed to answer all the questions asked.
I made a list of the questions, I thought that she had avoided.
Deregulation of health care.
Causes of climate change.
Which is worse? Nuclear Iran or unstable Pakistan?
Expanded office of the VP powers
What is Sarah’s Achilles’ heel? I guess she doesn’t have one.
Expanded powers of the office of the VP (as set by this administration).
I still felt that she was acting a little like Ms. South Carolina. She had talking points she wanted to make and she was going to make them regardless of what she asked. In some ways, it reminded me of the Bush vs Gore debates of 8 year ago, only Biden was able to keep his sighs to himself, if he had any.
I felt a little touched by the point where Joe Biden choked up when talking about his family. He seemed very genuine.
