The Palin Biden Debate

Going into the debate with an open mind, I do not think I could walk away declaring a winner.  When it comes to knowing the facts and knowing exactly what they are talking about, I would have to go with Biden.  Though in my opinion Biden came across very condescending, he did know what he was talking about.  But, was the tone and arrogant manner that he displayed completely necessary?  Well, some probably is necessary, he is trying to come across as the better candidate and win an election.  Next time Mr. Biden, just remember who you are talking to and maybe work on the tone of your voice.  For Palin, not answering some key questions that Biden really seemed to hurt her, but making up for it with her keen since of knowledge on how to deal with people and how to connect to the every day person really seemed to help her.  She came across as the mother type.  She seemed easy to connect with and in touch with the reality of being a real person, even calling herself a clear Washington outsider.  For Mrs. Palin, I think she just needs experience.  Give her to 2012 and I bet we see a Presidential nominee, and a heck of a lot different public speaker and debater.
