Waiting for Thursday's Debate and Saturday's Parody

The presidential debate has been talked about endlessly, and most analysts agree that Obama won (at least the economic part, which has proved to be the most important one). Now it’s time for the Vice Presidents to battle it out.

At the Nominating Convention Palin seem to be a boost of energy for the Republicans…but is she ready for a debate? After Tina Fey’s imitation of Sarah Palin created such a huge buzz, I think we are all waiting for Palin to give the SNL writers some great material to work with during the debate. Palin is going to have to be credible, seem professional, and gain people’s respect (even if people do not agree with her views), to be able to win.

Since VP’s are selected and not voted on by the people, I think both of them will have to use some parts of stock speeches on the debate. Even though they are not the ones running, they will still have to make us believe they are credible speakers, especially Palin.

The debate will focus on the current financial crisis, which has proven to help the democrats. Biden’s job will be to stick to what has been working by using a challenger style. If he attacks the record of the opponent, calls for change, and emphasizes optimism for the future; I do not see how he could lose. We’ll have to wait and see. And then wait a little longer for Saturday to come along…
