The place, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, the West Gate, the Gateway to the West deep American. Opposite, two very different candidates for Vice President. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden. The moderator, Gwen Ifill, of PBS , whose objectivity was questioned prior to the debate, because it is pro-Obama, has been reflected in a performance slightly in favor of Biden, but in general independent.
A veteran like Joe Biden face someone relatively new to politics as Sarah Palin. The feelings after the debate is that the Governor of Alaska has withstood the stake and has made a good defense of McCain, who has defended his hero status and " maverick." Joe Biden has proven content, avoiding direct skirmishes and pointing directly at McCain.
Palin has shown throughout as a working mother and a common citizen who knows the challenges of everyday life. This has been a great success because it allows you to connect to that vast mass of working mothers, the hockey moms, who can identify with it. Palin has promised something simple yet very important: to fight for the middle class, something that seems to lose sight of the magnitude of national problems, but it is fundamental. He was well trained in energy policy and aware of international challenges.
Biden kept his distance and only disqualified his opponent to talk about role of Vice President, focusing on McCain, who was partly responsible for current economic policy, financial deregulation and protector of corporate interests and the wealthy.
Palin was direct and bright in the Iraq issue by accusing Democrats of having only a plan that is waving the white flag of surrender, highlighting the position concerned, cowardly and defeatist Democrats long. Recalling the threat posed by the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran and the U.S. need to avoid a second Holocaust, showed that fully understands the tremendous danger posed by the Iranian regime.
is true that Biden skills he demonstrated on a wide experience. Not for nothing is a political veteran. But this did not help him to defeat a clearly combative Palin believes in and defends his ideas with honesty and thus is able to connect to the average citizen. Many scholars and political experts see this as a handicap, the stuff of an amateur, giving the victory to Biden by virtue of their experience. It is a mistake because as important as political experience or more is the defense of ordinary people and American values \u200b\u200bof excellence, something that Biden trounced Palin.
The debate left the feeling of a veteran Senator, member system, a Washington DC insider, compared to a normal citizen who defends his ideas with courage and sincerity. Intellectual elites always tend to underestimate this, but history shows that the average citizen in the United States emerges as the victor. Ronald Reagan did in his day, George W. Bush brought the power of the people to the White House against those who think that only members of the establishment of always being prepared to govern. Palin rightly claimed Reagan's vision of freedom, country and future generations, taking up an idea that is deeply rooted in the American psyche and that no Biden can overcome it by very senior.
The debate Sarah Palin served to reconnect with ordinary people, he put his hand to Biden won half the medium, showing dynamic, consistent with their ideas and energetic. The veteran senator, for his part, and it must be said, was convincing and solid, avoiding the smug attitude that often accompany times, resulting bright moments.
in all it was an interesting debate, which fulfilled the huge expectations it raised. A winner? Palin and Biden eloquently showed he was outspoken and friendly. Everyone wins said. But Palin comes more benefit to having completed the process with ease and defeated critics who predicted its failure, something that did not happen.
