Presidential Debate: Round 2
Personally, I didn't think the debate this time around was as exciting as the first. It was kind of lackluster. However, I do think Obama won again.
According to a poll this morning on MSN:
51% of the country thought Obama won
32% of the country thought McCain won
The remainder believed it was a tie or were undecided.
This is technically the 3rd debate that Obama has won because Biden was the clear winner of the Vice Presidential. This is some not so good news for the McCain campaign who is falling lower and lower in the polls.
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER TO VOTE BY THE 15TH!

This Actually Happened
Today I was at the Town Hall because for some reason I had to re-register to vote. Registering there with me was a man in his 50's who had never voted before. I said, "If you don't mind me asking, how come you're registering to vote now." He looked me in the eyes and said, "Because if that psychotic woman and that Bush clone end up in the White House, I'm leaving the country."
I laughed, shook his hand and called him a man after my own heart.
REGISTER TO VOTE!!!! YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 15TH!!!

My Take on the Vice Presidential Debate
I would first like to apologize for saying the Vice Presidential Debate was on tonight. I hope all of you noticed that it was actually on last night.
As much as it pains me to say this, Sarah Palin actually did a pretty good job. It was not at all what I expected. Someone coached her very well to look continuously at the camera, unlike her running mate John McCain. At the beginning, it looked to be a complete opposite of the Presidential Debate, with Palin always looking at the camera and Joe Biden always looking at the moderator. However, he did begin looking at the camera and was able to connect with his audience.
I give props to Palin for trying to connect to the American people by talking as we would in conversation. However, it made her look very unprofessional and at some points, make her look like she had no idea what she was talking about. During the talk about same-sex rights, I believe Palin eloquently stated that she did not like gay people. The way she worded it made it seem pleasant. Also, Palin--ENOUGH with the hockey mom references and ENOUGH talking about Alaska. If you want to win votes outside of Alaska, talk about the country as a whole.
Biden won the sympathetic vote last night while talking about his wife and daughter who passed away. I think he also made a strong connection by looking into the camera and saying things such as, "I want to assure you, the American people..."
According to a general poll that I found on CNN.com, 51% of the country believes that Joe Biden won last night's debate. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/03/biden.palin.analysis/index.html)
Unfortunately, this is the only Vice Presidential Debate. I would love to see these two debate again.

Show Some "Love" for Palin
A couple of quotes by celebrities/political analysists about V.P. Nominee Sarah Palin:
Fareed Zakaria, Political Affairs Analyst: (See CNN.com)
"She is dangerously ignorant and unprepared...She has never spent a day thinking about an important national or international issue...For McCain to choose Palin as his running mate is fundamentally irresponsible. He did not put the country first with his decision."
Pamela Anderson:
"I can't stand her. She can suck it."
Comedian Sandra Bernhard:
"Don't you touch my Old Testament, bitch. Because we have left it up for interpretation."
Comedian Margaret Cho:
"I am not voting for McCain. I hope that is obvious. I am sick of everyone saying –“He was a good soldier. He was a good soldier.” Um yeah. He was captured. So he was not that good. And now with Sarah Palin at his side, they have actually become the worst ticket imaginable. The only way it could be worse would be if Satan were running with Chuck Norris as his VP. Actually, Lucifer-Norris sounds better than McCain-Palin...I have nothing against hockey moms – I just don’t want to be one. If Sarah Palin had her way, she would take away that right not to be a mom. She wants to outlaw abortion – so to call her a feminist is as laughable as calling evangelicals ‘Christians.’ They shouldn’t have the right to call themselves Christian, for they have no Christ-like attributes. I am a feminist and a Christian – and when I see Sarah Palin – I see neither. And it is official. She is evil."
Lindsay Lohan:
"I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin. I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be…"
Pink:
""If I were writing a letter to Sarah Palin it would be a lot of whys and hows. Who are you? Do you know? Why do you hate animals? Please point out Iraq on a map...This woman hates women. She is not a feminist. She is not the woman that's going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary Clinton would've been capable of … I can't imagine overturning Roe vs. Wade. She's not of this time. The woman terrifies me."
ABC News Tonight Anchor Charles Gibson (During an interview with Palin):
"I got lost in a blizzard of words there. Is that a yes?"
Matt Damon:
"It's a disaster...It's like a really bad Disney Movie. The hockey mom is the President and she's facing down Vladimir Putin using the folksy stuff she learned down at the hockey rink. It's absurd. It's totally absurd. I don't understand why more people aren't talking about how absurd it is. It's a really terrifying possibility."
Sarah Palin herself not knowing any idea what she's talking about:
Katie Couric: Why isn't it better, Gov. Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
Sarah Palin: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the -- it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
Excuse me, what?!
PLEASE VOTE IN NOVEMBER. DON'T MAKE IT SO I HAVE TO MOVE TO NEW ZEALAND TO AVOID BEING UNDER THE RULE OF THIS WOMAN!!!
