One Man's Opinion

Well, I watched the debate last night. I will say first off, that my mind is made up, and the debates aren't going to change it. It's going to take something major. That being said...

I was surprised by Gov. Palin. She did very well, much better than I expected. A little too folksy, anybody could tell that was an act with her "C'mon Joe, gosh darn it". Her answers were the same as Sen. McCain's were last week, right down to the misleads and lies. But her delivery was good overall, she didn't get flustered.

But being able to pull off the debate is one thing. Running the country is another. She would make a great press secretary. But she's nowhere near ready to take over if something happens to the Sen. McCain. She couldn't answer easy questions from reporters 'off the cuff', how could she answer them as president, or answer questions from foreign leaders or congress.

Sen. Biden did very well I thought. He was able to pull it off without any real gaffes, he attacked Sen. McCain without seeming to attack Gov. Palin. It shouldn't be something he or anyone else has to worry about. She's playing in the big leagues now, and it's only hers and John McCains fault if she's not ready to take what's thrown at her.
