The Joe Biden & Sarah Palin Debate Evaluation!

This debate was almost like the one between John McCain & Barack Obama. It was monitored in a manner befitting what debates aught to be. However, Sarah Palin did her accustomed thing in the way she answered, or did not answer the questions posed. She talked around most of them in a general way. And used her folksy dialects when she felt that it might give her some authenticity or validity on some issues.

She is quite comfortable talking about her work and positions held in Alaska. There is no doubt that she knows about the politics, and economics of Alaska. But as for foreign affairs, she is terribly wanting in that regard. Her responses were by and large very scripted, and she made sure the Republican battle cry for king and country was mentioned very often, to give validity to her position as John McCain's VP.

Senator Joe Biden was in his usual element. Very firm, well informed on the issues, both foreign and domestic. He made sure that the facts about John McCain's voting in the senate was mentioned, when defending Barack Obama's position on the issues.

And his emotional show of feelings when he mentioned his family responsibility as a single parent after his wife's death, was indeed well received I am sure by all viewers. Joe Biden did what was expected of him. He delivered the goods, took the fight to John McCain directly through Sarah Palin, and did not make any blunders that would cause the Obama ticket any regrets!

A very good debate indeed!
