Post VP Debate Conclusion: I’m No Nostradamus
3 Oct
Yesterday I predicted how this term’s potential VPs would do in their only debate before the election.
Expected result: I thought that Biden would make a fool of himself and then clarify. I thought that Palin would speak clearly and then make a fool of herself.
What happened: Surprisingly, both showed good tact and presented their cases with more confidence and discipline than I expected. This debate was easier to watch than last week’s bout between McCain and Obama. These two people can look at each other in the eyes when speaking.
Major Issues Discussed: the Economy, Iraq, Afganistan, Israel, Pakistan, Darfur / the Sudan, U.S. giving to foriegn aid, voting records, civil unions…
The winner: Like last week, people will think the person that won is the person they expected to win before it started.
Final conclusion: I don’t understand how Joe Biden’s eyebrows go back and up like they do. I also felt funny when Sarah Palin winked at me. My hat is off to both of them for their performance in disciplined speech and their ability to instill confidence.
May the Lord’s will be done,

Don’t sweat it. The real Nostradamus wasn’t nearly as good at predictions as the one history remembers…
I was actually uncomfortable a few times when Palin looked into the camera, but I suspect that there are a lot of folks who like those personal qualities. It may make the difference for undecided voters.
I concur with the winking it made me feel awkward.
As an official Hollywood representative, Hollywood is happy with the turn out of the debate. No SNAFUs from Biden and Palin could not keep up. This result equals a happy hollywood.
