Her job was to reinvigorate the portion of the Republican Party who had been doubting her ability to speak intelligently when questioned about major issues; the Republicans who woke up and realized that she is simply not qualified enough to be Vice President of the strongest country in the world. I don't believe that this debate did anything but solidify the concerns they had. They call it a debate for a reason, you’re asked a question, you give your position, and you fight for that position. The fact of the matter is that she didn't answer anything that John McCain didn't already answer last week. On questions concerning energy, she repeated verbatim what we had already heard from Senator McCain during his debate with Obama. On questions concerning anything else, she either didn't answer the question correctly, or she simply didn't answer the question and said that she wanted to "shoot it straight" to the American people and ended up talking about her record as Governor and Mayor. Some people probably thought that was great. What those people (let's call them "idiots") don't realize is that all of us non-idiots know that this was her way of letting us know that she didn't know the answer to the question. If she wants to shoot it to us straight, she could start by answering the questions. It's great that she is a Washington outsider, and she wants to go in there and "shake things up" but the fact of the matter is, she doesn't know enough about any of the major issues to speak intelligently on the behalf of the American people. The last thing we need in the White House is another country bumpkin who thinks that change can come from a little can-do attitude and sweat from your brow. It infuriates me to think that there are people out there will actually vote for John McCain because they think his running mate is “one of us." DO WE REALLY WANT "ONE OF US" IN THE WHITE HOUSE?? You did that 8 years ago and look where we are now!! You voted a guy into the White House because he was a "good 'ol boy" and he screwed us! A "hockey mom" is the same thing!! We were duped TWICE before guys! Let's vote for a politician who is willing to go to bat for all of us in the middle class who work our #### off everyday just to make ends meet. A politician who wants to raise the minimum wage, provide more money for schools and teachers, make health care affordable and available to 95% of the population, bring out troops home strategically and safely, and invest in clean energy that will free us from the stranglehold that the middle east has on our balls over oil. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have the combined knowledge and experience that we should want from the people who are making decisions that will affect our everyday lives. And if you're unwilling to educate yourself about each party's stance on the issues that affect you, then you probably deserve to get fooled again. OBAMA/BIDEN 08!
