I truly believe that if she did nothing else tonight, she proved to the American people that her critics were WRONG when it came to her being nothing more than an empty-headed bimbo... I don’t think ANYONE could’ve watched the debate tonight and come away agreeing that she is an imbecile as most of the media and partisan hacks have alleged.
I happen to think she did even better than that, and that she showed she DOES know what she is talking about. She was confident and strong...
The majority of Americans are not going to be listening to the debate saying things like — Oh, she should’ve said this, instead of that. She should’ve pointed to this, instead of that. I think that is the hardest thing to do for someone who is a political junkie like us FReepers — to accurately judge just how much the public is aware of, and just how much they will really pick up on. I honestly think Biden went over the heads of many “average Americans” when it came to some of his long, drawn-out answers - particularly when he started throwing strings of numbers around. People get turned off by that. We want straight talk, and I believe Sarah delivered that tonight, more effectively than Biden did — especially with a lot of the one-liners, and slams she got in against him.
All JMHO of course! :)
If what you say is true, then most Americans are imbeciles that should never get close to a voting booth. Details matter, and the problem for too long has been the short attention span of our citizens, and there refusal to get into the fray. That is exactly the kind of attitude our lifers in Washington prefer. I would rather we be a nation of well-informed voters, than a collective of uncritical and politically shallow dimwits.
Excellant post.
