biden vs. palin
i never blog about politics...but i can't even BEGIN to explain what the heck happened.
biden stuck to what a debate was about - he was clear, concise, and answered what the moderator asked, not necessarily 'what the moderator expected'.
palin on the other hand, looked like she was really coached (which, given her track record, she probably was). she stuck to the strategy of only answering questions that she knew how to, and when the path deviated, she completely avoided the questions or said 'i won't say what you or the moderator expected'. gwen and biden graciously ALLOWED her to steer the conversation towards what she knows best. energy, and the war. even then she misquoted. nothing on the economy, nothing on healthcare, lack of substance on the tax policy. 'john knows how to win a war, he's done it'. we lost the vietnam war!!! She wants to 'exert more power' as VP! she didn't explain ONCE how the mccain policies are different from bush's!!
it's irritating. people expected biden to do well, and he did, and got sidelined. people expected palin to spontaneously combust, but she managed to not look like a bunny. and because she didn't crash and burn, people said she was 'great'. OH MY GOSH!
a quote from christine: 'if mccain becomes president, let's really hope he doesn't die.'
michael seitzman says on 9/11:
Stop voting for people you want to have a beer with. Stop voting for folksy. Stop voting for people who remind you of your neighbor. Stop voting for the ideologically intransigent, the staggeringly ignorant, and the blazingly incompetent.
Vote for someone smarter than you. Vote for someone who inspires you. Vote for someone who has not only traveled the world but who has also shown a deep understanding and compassion for it. The stakes are real and they’re terrifyingly high. This election matters. It matters. It really matters. Let me say that one more time. This. Really. Matters.
