It was really excellent. I do think an analysis of why John McCain refuses to fight the "war on terror" in a more multilateral, multifront way may be needed. But I'm not sure whether it is wise or necessary to do so. <BR/><BR/>The main message I came away with from this debate is that Palin is really inexperienced, completely unknowledgable of vast sectors of American governance and a really poor choice in a VP. I do not know who else McCain could have chosen, but she did not come across as impressive to me at all.<BR/><BR/>She seemed to know about three topics, the war in Iraq, energy and taxes (somewhat). The other topics she did not even engage in.<BR/><BR/>I found myself turning to Biden again and again to clear up the issue, to explain an issue, and to really give a detailed analysis.<BR/><BR/>Palin spoke in generalities, I don't even see what it is that she studied that everyone seems to be talking about. She was bad. She again did not debate, all she spoke was rhetoric, meaningless, generalities that spoke little of specifics, action items, strategies or directions forward. <BR/><BR/>I think the media needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Why aren't they chewing her out for being so bad?! Why are they focusing on how "shy" she was, or how "unprepared, inexperienced, not used to the attention" quick to study up.... <BR/><BR/>No amount of studying will make up for 30 years of experience leading bills through congress period. Especially not if the governor lacks basic knowledge about our government's politics.<BR/><BR/>Peace<BR/><BR/>Gardens...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
