Here is the Debate of the debate!!!

Biden Burgers and Palin Pies….
I received my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday and it has just been sitting on my desk, staring at me, saying “make a decision!” I am 23 years old and (hopefully) have a long life in the United States ahead of me, I believe in this country and that this will be one of the most important decisions that I make. The decision we, as young people, make in this election effects our tax rates, our health care, our national security, our education, our job prospects, and much much more for years to come.
And now, the VP debate…
OVERALL: In my opinion, Biden won the debate. He was far more skilled and knowledgeable on issues. If I had to cast my ballot right after the debate, my vote would go to Biden. He was trustworthy, understood the national security threat our nation is under and had practical solutions to solving problems, three issues I care strongly about. However, as far as reality and winning the American public goes, McCain/Palin won. Here’s why: what was everyone talking about before the debate? Sarah Palin. What was everyone talking about after the debate? Sarah Palin. Why did everyone tune in? Sarah Palin. What was the entire debate about? John McCain. Everyone is talking about them, and their silly catch-phrases like “Joe-Six-Pack” and “Maverick” aren’t helping the Obama campaign.
PERSONALITY: Clearly the most talked about aspect of the debate. Right off the bat, Palin went up to Biden and said “Hey, can I call you Joe?” My friends and I cracked up and I thought – what a nutcase. However, she was assertive, confident and maybe threw Biden off his guard for a split second. It was clearly a crafted move, as it was the first thing the American public heard at home after Gwen Ifill’s introduction. Throughout the debate, Biden remained cool, despite his reputation for being a hot-head. There were times when you can tell he was upset, but his advisors have trained him well to smile instead of show his anger. Palin, on the other hand, was a completely different story. She was literally a character in a Broadway production. She was winking and saying “you betchas”, “hecks” and “gosh darns”.  However, I bet her personality turned the majority (not all) of small town America on. They connected with her and felt like she was talking to them.
Palin has character. Biden has substance. But at the end of the day, it’s the issues that matter.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I’ll save mine for another post!

Media Pundits and Political leaders seem a little upset that a politician did the unthinkable. He told the truth!

Many who are in the running for the VP slot for Barack obama are keeping tight lipped, some even going as far to say they would reject the offer. Senator biden however is letting it be known that he would proudly serve this county as Vice President. And Kudos to that man for being honest. Politricks can be a little weird at times, if you tell the truth you are a liar, if you lie you are merely protecting the public. Me personally, I don’t get it at times.

I would rather say hey I’ll take the position rather than talk about how much I wouldn’t and then accept it later. What do you call that? A change of heart, I think not! Obama 08 Yes We Can Si Se Puede!
