The Vice Presidential debate is this evening. I am not watching it.
Why? What substance will come of it? Will Sarah Palin suddenly present herself as a great orator? Will Biden become warm and homey?
It's not likely. What will certainly come is more rhetoric, more division and more bickering. Why do I want to bring that energy to my life?
I am going to vote and will watch the remaining presidential debates but in the long run the VP debate means nothing to me. Yes, I know the office is a heartbeat to the President (and with McCain's age folks certainly should have an eye on this!). The office of VP is a support role. It is often used as a 'pitbull' role to protect the goodwill of the President. In my opinion, both Palin and Biden can do do this effectively.
I don't vote for a pitbull. I vote for a leader. If watching the debate, will help you vote - THEN WATCH THE DEBATE!!! Just vote! Please. McCain? Obama? Choose! Nader? Fine!
Just exercise your right and responsibility to vote.
So what will I do tonite? I am spending it at work. A good civil servant. Doing my job!!

Watching the debate did my heart good. Biden came off as perfect Presidential material. Palin was an improvement over her Katie Couric performance, but she ran out of sound bytes midway through and just kept recycling, never actually addressing the question being asked. If any even reasonably intelligent person was in doubt, this would have clinched it.
