I've Been Thinking:

Everyone is talking about the debate.
The vice presidential debate was in many ways more interesting than last week's presidential match up and will probably be more interesting than next week's presidential debate.

The vice presidential debate ended in a tie.
US presidential elections today are all about looks and image.
Both nominees looked good.
Both nominees sounded good.
In the reality that is today's presidential campaign truth and accuracy are irrelevant, passion and appearance are what counts.

Sarah Palin smiled and joked and Joe Biden chatted and laughed and that was important. Actually, the personality traits that were allowed to emerge during this debate were more important than any single argument either person presented.

When Joe Biden said he knows what it feels like to be a single parent and when Sarah Palin said she knows what is means to be middle class they were trying to relate to middle America.
The way I see it, both the senator and the governor successfully accomplished what they set out to do.
