Who will rock the Veep Faceoff?
Permalink  

Joe Biden and Sarah Palin face off in the one and only Vice Presidential debate tomorrow night at Washington University in St. Louis.  The debate will be moderated by Gwen Ifill of PBS, who previously moderated the 2004 VP debate, and will cover both domestic and foreign policy issues. 

Predictions?  Who will win, how long will we spend on the economy, will we hear about hockey-momming, how much energy will Biden devote to playing up his foreign policy experience, will he look like a bully, will the candidates focus more on themselves or more on attacking the other party's presidential nominee, etc?!?!?!?!?

Joe Biden is the stronger candidate of the two. He is coherent when he speaks and doesn't dance around questions with Alaskan anecdotes. Here's the thing, he'll win. But he'll be accused of being a bully because thats the other perception of her as a victim. Either way, I think it will be a thousand times more exciting than the first Presidential debate.

I think Joe Biden will do much better than Sarah Palin. This debate will expose Palin's lack of foriegn policy experience. And hopefully the candidates will spend more time talking about themselves instead of bashing eachother.

i believe also that Joe's got this one, although he may get distracted by sarah's good looks, i believe that he will be able to overcome and use his knowledge of forgien policy and experience to win the debate over sarah.

It would be pretty sad if he is viewed as a bully in a debate, when the whole point is to prove your point and that you are better qualified. It isn't Biden's fault that Palin is so ill equipped to compete in a debate.

im also convinced biden will coime out on top
although he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed
for example when he was caught saying there were TV's during FDR's term

he'll still present himself in a better way than i think palin can
just because of the fact that he has more experience in this type of thing
and wont beat around the bush when asked a lead question

im not sure exactly who will win, even though Palin has had a rough start this could be here big chance to reassure her base that she was a good pick for VP, on the other hand Biden is a good speaker, who at times does bully but thats part of his politics. It will be interesting, i believe both candidates have much to prove and im looking forward to watching this debate

Although i support Palin and her adventures, i believe with Biden's experience he is gonna set off the nuke of the vp debates on her, and her glasses will incinerate...  She will be the deer in the headlights..

Poor girl.

The moderator for this debate Gwen Iffil recently wrote a pro-Obama book. The book praises Obama and other black politicians and is due to be released when the next president is inaugurated. As she and the book can only benefit from the election of Obama do you think she can be a fair and un-biased moderator?

Your thoughts please :)
Here's the link to the article I found: http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/01/vp-debate-moderator-pens-pro-obama-book/

So Palin isn't as stupid as the media points her out to be...
But, I mean since all people in Hollywood with the exception of John Voight are Pro-Bama, Palin must be incredibly stupid right?
And what would we do without their razor-sharp political advice?

I still think Biden won the debate, but Palin did better than I thought she would.
