Uninspired...

I was hoping that tonight's VP debate would leave me with one of two reactions:

1. 100% undeniable confirmation that Sara Palin is a blubbering idiot.
2. 100% undeniable confirmation that Joe Biden is not just another politician.

I was disappointed on both fronts. While I do not endorse ANY of Sarah Palin's views on ANYTHING, I can't say that she looked like a blubbering idiot tonight. Yes, she needed to quit with all the, "OMG, that's just 'cuz he's a Maverick..." crap, BUT she actually came across as somewhat articulate and legitimate.

I have been a Joe Biden fan for a long time... I always loved how he spoke his mind and wasn't afraid to hold opinions based on reason and intellect. I do support the policies and views of the Obama/Biden ticket and think these two are the men for the job and support their ideas on civil liberties (which is what I consider "Freedom"), foreign policy (diplomacy > armed conflict), energy conservation, and the economy (greater taxes for people who can afford it? sounds good to me!). That being said, Biden left me uninspired tonight. He didn't come across as condescending (which I think many of his supporters might have enjoyed seeing someone over-qualified to be VP put the smack-down on someone under-qualified, but what do I know?). His policies and arguments were valid and articulate and he kept his cool, BUT I saw a politician running for office.

Anyway...there's my two-cents on the debate. I'll have to read through this again tomorrow as I am currently tired and heavily medicated (effing cold/allergies/migraine)...

OH! And also...the Cubs only need to lose 1 more! October Choke? Yes please. God I hate the Cubs.
