VP Candidates Set For Debate

By Mark:

It’s finally time for vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palen to take the stage for their debate Thursday night. Funny how far we’ve come since the conventions.

At convention time, it seemed as though there was almost more excitement for this debate than the ones between the real candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Time has past and the hype has subsided as I predicted.

Now, the first debate between McCain and Obama lacked the excitement and notable sound bytes that everyone was hoping for, but don’t expect that Thursday night.

Biden has already made a name once again for going off script and treading a very thin line on the campaign trail. He is certain to give us poster board material - he proved that during the democratic primary debates.

Palin on the other hand has more pressure Thursday. She has one last night essentially to prove that she is qualified to hold a position that would put her one heartbeat away from being the most powerful leader in the world. She has a lot to prove in this debate. Biden has a lengthy career in politics in being a leader and decision maker which gives him the lead going in.

Palin needs to hit a home run Thursday and establish herself as a proven, capable leader. Biden just needs to watch his mouth so-to-speak. Advantage Biden but this one is sure to be entertaining.

Be sure to tune in!
