the vp debate thingy

i'm pretty sure there is like zero history of a VP debate changing the outcome of an election (if i am wrong please correct me). nonetheless, we should probably talk about last nights debate, if you could call it that, between Biden and Palin.

Biden: he seemed very polished, controlled and to the points compared to typical Joe. the one man gaff machine was apparently retired before last nights show. in reality the only thing Biden needed to do was get out without having made so male vs female issue out of the whole thing. he did that, which is a win for him and Obama. I thought her took her to school a few times early and mailed it in (knowing that no one on earth could pay attention to the whole thing).

Palin: seriously, at some level every one has to realize that this is a mistake. nothing personal. but we all know a guy like her (they're always guys, she seems to be the only girl in this category); they bounced around from school to school, communications major to mass comm to sports journalism to phys ed., always the life of the party, pretty funny, good street sense but not a great student, you know the person at your next high school reunion who will show up a cool job and a hot wife...and make you scratch your head and say, "how did that happen?" we all know this guy. would you want him to president? look yourself in the mirror and ask your self would i want __________ to be running the free world? 

look if it all goes south and Obama doesn't make it out of turn four Joe can hold it together, i really believe that. on the other hand, if Palin is forced into the presidency i am in no way confident she can even make the thing work, let alone Marshall the free world.
