Vice Presidential Debate

Going into the vice presidential debate I think America was curious to how well Palin would present herself as vice president. Before debating Palin had only done around a handful of interviews; for a reason. Palin had shown difficulty to address questions and she didn't even seem like she knew what she was talking about. My primary example would be her interview with Katie Kurric. If that doesn't scare the hell out of people I don't know what does because that interview was a complete disaster and something that should be more recognized. How can somebody be running in a presidential election and only do something like three interviews? It's ridiculous. So to get back to the debate I think a lot of pressure was on Governor Palin and to my surprise I thought she held up her own. It was obvious she made some mistakes and neglected to answer some questions but she didn't do anything dramatic that will jeopardize the campaign which sadly was her goal. Nobody thought she had a chance of winning this debate and how could she of? Senator Biden is a experienced politician who has done countless debates and even more interviews. I think Biden won the actual debate when in comes to addressing the prompters questions and arguing Palin/McCains agenda but sadly that wasn't as important to the public as watching Palin try to hold her own. So in conclusion of the debate I think Biden won when looking at the content but Palin won as well solely on the fact that many thought she wouldn't be able to hold her ground as seem presentable. This brings up my final thought. It's a fact that America loves McCain and Palin because of their family values and traditional American persona, but why should we care? What does family values have to do with running a country or being locked up in Vietnam. I look at candidates and question who would be the best leader and president, someone who could lead our country, someone who was knowlegdable and creditable. Not someone whos a hockey mom that thinks that by being a middle class American she has an edge. People shouldn't care about that. People should care about what really matters, the qualities of a good president.
