My take on the VP debate, Palin = McSame's Cheerleader!

I watched the whole thing, just like many of you did and it seemed to me that Palin was acting as McSame's cheerleader. Rah, Rah McCain...blah, blah, blah. Lots of rhetoric and no substance. No surprise there. I was very proud of Senator Biden. I think he kept his composure, he made very specific points, he strongly stated the plans of an Obama/Biden Presidency. I loved his response to Palin's remark that she wants expanded legislative powers for the VP, Biden said, "Cheney has been the most dangerous VP in the history of the United States." Then he went on to say that the Cheney stance regarding VP powers were "bizarre" and not Constitutional and that Cheney has taken this stance to expand their ideology about the unitary executive powers.

It seemed that she memorized catchy "folksy" phrases but I am not convinced that she has any true comprehension of the complex issues before us. Palin is NOT qualified!

Biden, on the other hand, did an excellent job IMO.

One last after thought, Biden, because he offered specific points in his answers, because of his experience, and probably because of his style he did not come across as Obama's cheerleader the way that she came off as McCain's. Of course, Biden knows what he is talking about and his answers had substance, he wasn't just repeating the "Obama's great" theme in a variety of ways the way that Palin did for McSame.
