Vice Presidential Debate

The Vice Presidential Debate was extremely interesting, and there were a variety of important topics discussed. One such topic was that of the Economy. With the bailout bill and the rocky economy, it was an important subject, and both Palin and Biden stated their cases. Biden states that the economic policies of the last 8 years (Bus's Term) have been the worst ever as seen on wallstreet. He stated that Obama will change the focus of the economic policy to focus on the middle class. Palin stated that people have come to fear the economy. She stated that reform is needed, and John McCain will bring that reform, demonstrated by the fact that he has brough people together in the past.

Another important issue discussed was the issue of same sex rights. Biden started off by saying that he and Obama support same sex rights, and that based on the constitution there is no difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals. He then said that he and Obama do not support gay marriage because they don't believe in redefining marriage. Palin said that she does not support gay marriage but she is tolerant of homosexuals.

The issue of the environment and the climate change was also debated. Biden stated that the climate change was man made, and that Obama will invest in clean energy which will create more jobs and more exports. Palin stated that the climate change is not man made, and that it was all natural. She stated that the planet has to be cleaned up, and she brought the issue back to her experience cleaning up the environment of Alaska. She also said that America has to become energy independent.

Personally, I believe that Joe Biden won the debate. He played up Bush's mistakes during the last 8 years, and related that to the fact that McCain agrees with Bush 90% of the time. He pointed out that Palin did not exactly answer all of the questions. He also brought in what Palin says and stated that he believes she will do it but not John McCain. He seemed to be very well researched, and used all of the information he could to answer the questions asked.
