The Veep Debates

So I did watch the VP debates and would have written in my blog sooner but I was on some pain meds at the time and passed out soon after. I enjoyed both sides of the debate and noticed that it was very important to find the right words to say. Word choice seemed to be the theme of the night because everyone was all too cautious of the fact that people(media pundits) were ready to pick at every little thing they said. The next morning it was obvious that the media was looking even closer at what Sarah Palin had to say, especially because they expected her to do worse and expected her to "eat her words" more often than she did.

In my own opinion, there was a lot going on beyond the debate itself that distracted from the importance of the issues. There were too many references beyond the two candidates and some situations that seemed a little unrealistic to be debated at that time.

I feel that the media is too biased to be making the claims that they do. I like to keep my political opinions to myself because everyone seems to be an extremist in their views and tend to get too involved in trying to convince you of how wrong you are. So, in that case I'm not going to state who I liked better. I think both of them spoke really well and represented their parties to the best of their abilities. It was an amazing thing to see public speaking at its best especially when two people are capable of keeping thier composure during such a highly publicized event.
