The Vice Presidential Debate - Thursday Oct 2nd

Could Sarah Palin have been any more informal and conversational at tonight’s VP Debate? Her speech pattern, tone, and comments were totally unproffessional and certainly not vice presidential? In addition, the amount of coaching she received was unbelievably obvious.

Just a few problems I have..

Sarah Palin just said “nucular”. FOUR TIMES.

And she said “Oh MAN. It’s so obvious I’m a Washington outsider, and I’m not used to all this”.

And she callled the government “the Feds”.

And she mentioned “hockey moms”, yet again. Well, at least she changed it up a little by mentioning Soccer dads too.

And she said that we need to stop pointing fingers at George Bush.

And (my ultimate favorite) she said (in response to Gwen’s question about whether or not there were any promises their campaigns would have to break) - Oh, how long have I been in this? Five weeks? So, everything I’ve promised so far I’m going to follow through on. My promises are the right way for the American people.

I don’t care how attractive, likeable, or personable she seems to be. I hope the American populous doesn’t get caught up in her scripted and contrived personality. My fear is they will…
