Biden and Palin Debate: The two VP candidates face off
So last night was the much anticipated debate. Who do you think won? I have to say, that in general, I thought both got off the subject a lot, and it looked like Biden was really working to be nice and pleasant, while Palin seemed like a little chihuahua nagging at your heels.
She is intelligent, but she is toooo, way toooo familiar and casual in her speaking tone. I had a hard time taking her seriously and not rolling my eyes. They may almost have gotten stuck at the back of my head.
If you ask me, I think that Palin is taking down the Republican Party. and McCain with her.
You decide.
Sen. Joe Biden gave a knowledgeable but restrained performance in Thursday night’s vice presidential debate, while Gov. Sarah Palin sought to show that her accomplishments as governor and mayor prove she is qualified for the job.
Gov. Sarah Palin told voters that she and Sen. John McCain are a “team of mavericks.”
Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, slammed John McCain, saying “he has been no maverick on the issues that matter to people lives,” but his only challenge to Palin was asking her to articulate a policy on the Iraq war.
Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, pushed her “track record of reform” and said she and McCain are a “team of mavericks.”
“We’re known for putting partisan politics aside to just get the job done,” she said.
The debate took place at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and was moderated by PBS’s Gwen Ifill.
The candidates covered everything from the economy to energy policy to foreign policy in the first and only vice presidential debate of the election season.
Paul Begala, a Democratic strategist and CNN contributor, said the candidates approached the questions in different ways.
“You had two different strategies. Joe Biden’s strategy was to hammer McCain, link him to the status quo and Bush. He succeeded,” Begala said.
“Sarah Palin’s strategy was to defend Sarah Palin and repair her damaged image, and I think she did a pretty good job of that,” he said.
