I know Biden well having grown up in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. And
although the debate wasn't one of his best performances, imo, still he
was more informative, logical and coherent than Governor Palin. Her
refusal to respond directly to almost every question put to her
combined with her attempts to seem folksy and "one of the people"
amounted to a really weak performance. I felt like she came in with a
script that she had memorized and stuck to, even when doing so made her
sound disjointed and unresponsive. And her failure to show the
slightest sign of sympathy when Senator Biden choked up describing the
accident that killed his wife and daughter and injured his sons spoke
voulmes to me about who she really is.

Joe Biden. Sentaor Biden spoke directly to the concerns of the voters. Gov. Palin basically acted out what she was trained to say and do - similar to what an actor will do with a movie script. It was entertaining but the antics are not useful in convincing me that McCain/Palin are honorable in their sales pitches.

Whose debating skills are better or whose charisma is stronger is irrelevant in the decision to elect a VP. The only proper question is who's better prepared to step into the role of the president immediately if the occasion demands. This year, the answer couldn't be clearer: Joe Biden.
