Joe Biden Wins VP Debate

I will keep this entry short and sweet. People on either side will be arguing who won the vice presidential debate over the next week, or at least until the next one. However, there are a few things that give the edge to Biden on "who won."



Biden did his best to stay on topic and answer the questions he was asked. Quite a few times Sarah Palin did the opposite of that. She dodged a couple questions, but did so smoothly and effectively without drawing much attention to the fact she was sidestepping a question or two during the debate.

Biden also did very well in not coming across as a bully or picking on the experience of Palin. However, he effectively drove home one point that should not be overlooked: to link McCain to the policies of George Bush. A vote for McCain is a vote for the same, and we need change.

At times you can see Palin is so off course and wandering around topics that it is aggravating watching her wink at the camera. The "mom next door" stuff has got to go. We need more in a leader than that. You could also tell her knowledge of topics was actually only skin deep, and once she rattled off her main talking points on topics, she simply repeated the catch phrases and tried to forward the McCain Palin agenda.

Therefore, I have to say Joe Biden won the debate.
