I'll take a little different take on this debate and say that it really says more about America than either of the 2 candidates. What are we looking for from them? I think it's pretty clear that Ms. Palin is a capable politician, but lacking in a well developed national policy view. As a new governor, that's not surprising or a bad thing. Biden is a career legislator and admitted policy wonk with a big mouth. So what do we want? Details? Or sound bites? A beer buddy or an skilled operator? In the end the moments that will be remembered may be some gaffe or biting insult, but not because it's a gaffe or insult; because it'll confirm or deny a stereotype of the candidate. And because we'll talk about that stereotypical reminder, it'll reveal Americans values. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:272011 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
