Vice Presidential Debate
Gov. Palin was more appealing than Sen. Biden because the fact that Biden was more like a politician and answered the questions like a politician. He reminds me of John Kerry debate against George Bush in the 2004 election. Sarah Palin was more like her self, rather then trying to be a politician. John McCain's pick for his running mate was a good choice and a strategic choice. I liked it when Gov. Palin said, "I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people."

You say you liked it when Gov. Palin said, "I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people." Would you like all politicians to adopt that position? I think a basic prerequisite of a democracy is that leaders should be held accountable and required to answer questions and follow-up questions. When Palin refused to answer a question or just repeated one of her standard campaign lines, it suggested to me that she just does not have a very deep understanding of any of the issues facing the country.
