VP debate

So Sarah Palin won the VP debate because she didn't lose. She managed to stay perky, middle class and executive during the whole 90 mins, and so she won. On the other hand, Sen. Biden was senatorial, fact-filled and gaffe-free for the whole time too, so he didn't lose either. However, there is one catch, many of the facts that Sen. Biden gave with such conviction are just not true.
For example, he said that he and Sen. McCain voted against the Iraq war and it wasn't a war resolution anyway. Gov. Palin called him on that, she said not only was it a war resolution, but everybody knows that Sen. McCain voted for the war, and so did he. She said that was typical of Washington, where people say they opposed the war after they had supported it. However, McCain did vote later against a bill that included a timeline for troop withdrawal even though it included funding for the war.
In addition, Sen. Biden claimed that Obama did not say he was prepared to sit down with Ahmedinejad of Iran without any preconditions, when in fact he did say that and later backtracked. So Biden prevaricated in order to appear factual and authoritative, but instead he appeared pompous. Palin scored a big point when she said that Biden was always looking backwards to Bush, in order to say "gotcha," instead of looking forward to making real change.
Whatever you think about the VPs, I have a logical problem with those who say that Gov. Palin is too inexperienced to be a "heartbeat" away from the President, especially if he's old and infirm. I don't get it, because these same people are prepared to vote for someone who is more inexperienced and will be the President! Noone says that Obama is experienced, his only job before running for office was as a black Community organizer. I fear that that's how he views the job of President, take from the white rich to give to the black poor, a kind of Obama Hood.
Know a person by his friends, who were Obama's friends? Rev. Wright (no more need be said), Tony Rezko (a slum landlord with mob connections), Emil Jones (the Democratic Speaker of the Illinois Senate, no doubt the soul of honesty), Rick Davis and William Ayers (former leading leftist "weathermen") and Rashid Khalidi (a Chicago financier and supporter of Palestinian "resistance"). Who want Obama elected? The Bahrainis, the Saudis, the Lebanese and Hamas in Gaza, the French, and the anti-American Brits. Obama is ahead because he's a great orator and has charisma, but noone knows what he'll do with the immense power of President. McCain is old, white and crusty, but he has real courage, extensive experience and is reliable. OK, bring on the next debate.
