DEBATED BREATH II
Instant reaction, the shortest version:
Sen. Biden: I can spout off reams of numbers, but projecting ahead the consequences of policy and more specifically laying out the wanted consequences is not my forte. However, he did directly address and answer a lot of questions.
Overall? Professorial versus professional. Came across as more human than he usually does.
Gov. Palin: I can spout off foreign names and soothing generalities, but what the Constitution reads and what the meat rather than the packaging of policy consists of is not my bag., so maybe projecting vapidity by hypnosis through intently staring at the camera will work.
Overall? Image versus substance. Came across as extremely tentative and leery of being vulnerable.
Personally, ye old scribe doesn’t want Jed Clampett anywhere near Pennsylvania Avenue, and that is who Gov. Palin most came across as. Wouldn’t choose Sen. Biden for the White House either, but as the one designated to wait in the wings and be more able to get value and, more important, validity from from doing so, can swallow it.
