2008 VP Debate Analysis

I watched my first and possibly last political debate (or at least parts of it). I watched the first 30 minutes then got extremely bored with it. I was not a big fan of the political cat fight that was going on where they were playing the he said, she said game. I would have thought the debate would be more of an avenue to get their current political views than trying to smear their opponents with their views and past votes, but I guess it is a debate. And this is the first time I have ever even followed politics since I am a recently new registered voter. I guess I thought it was time.

I also watched a bit of the analysis. On NBC, the first reporter said it was a successful debate, but would probably be forgotten in the next 24 hours because there were no problems. I totally disagreed with that and so did Tom Brokaw. I also didn’t agree with the statement that this debate would have no impact on the presidential decision which was the stark opposite of what the media was reporting before the debate. I disagree with this statement because I think it did help me make my decision. I thought Palin looked pretty good up there. I think she might be the “down to Earth” person we need in the White House.

What does everyone else think?
