Palin Vs- Biden
Oh me oh my, where do I begin. First I would like to announce that compared to the debate between Barack and McCain this show was a bit more intense. I am appauled that people are giving way more credit to Sarah Palin than deserved. Palin is simply not ready to take control if the country if appointed to president of the United States. She is extremely to caddy and sarcastic. I find that commentors are simply giving her kudos because she did not perform as poorly as expected, but in no shape form or fashion was she speaking with any expertise. Both debates have been sort of a toss up, at least this is my personal opinion. In chapter 5 of the textbook Road to the White House 2008, Wayne raises awareness to Media associated with debates. He talks about free media, paid media, and gaining the media's attention. This information is intersting and will probably rais eeyenrows once covered because the staging that I witnessed tonight was quite similiar.

I agree with your assessment of Palin's performance. I was amazed to hear commentators afterwards stating that Palin had won, on style if not on subtance. On substance there was no contest but I guess there are some people who want the nation represented by a "hockey mom" to the rest of the world. I personally find her style and mannerisms quite off-putting. The Palin appeal has been a mystery to me since her first introduction and the more I see of her, the more mystified I become.
