VP Debate and 1st presidential debate

Yeah, its been awhile, but we're back...with the flu...so this is going to be short unfortunately.

The much first Presidential Debate for this election was rather interesting, focusing on not only foreign policy, as is custom in the 1st one, but also the economy. I for one expect McCain to do badly on the economic portion, and do extremely well in the foreign policy. Turns out, McCain did extremely well in both. He was energetic, and on the offence most of the night. Obama did however have a few good moments, and talking into thr camera instead of at the moderator.

As for the VP debate, what a show! My favortie line has got to be "say it ain't so, Joe...". I've found myself saying that so many times today! But really, Palin won this one. No wonder Biden closed with his father saying of "when you get knocked down, get right back up", because he needs to in order to cover for his performance in the debate. The only thing I really have to hit Palin on is that she sometimes didn't anwer the question (though Biden did that plenty of times as well...) choosing instead to counter what Beden had been saying. Really, its two McCain-Palin wins. for right now.

The odd thing is, however, is that the polls are shwoing a slip for McCain, though this can be contributed to the recent economic problems. This, with the pasage of the $500 billion "bailout" will most likely end up taking a back seat again to energy, and even foreign policy if Iran keeps acting up. only time will tell however.
