Vice President Debates: Palin Dodging Issues

The Vice Presidential Debate of October 2, 2008 proved to shock America, as Palin demonstrated her ability to think politically, however still lacked the ability to addresss the issues at hand. Biden showcased his competence for the Vice President position by addressing fiscal issues, health care, and the war in Iraq. Surprisingly, focusing his attention to the policies in which McCain supports, Biden concentrated on Wall Street's economic decline. Commenting on McCain's support for deregulation and further lack of public interest, Biden drew upon the struggle of middle class America. However, when asked to counter Biden's argument, Palin steadily avoided the delicate topic, choosing to focus her attention upon tax issues. When asked directly by Biden to address the issue again, Palin refused by saying that she prefers to speak against the high taxes in which ironically, McCain previously voted 477 times to increase tax prices. If Palin is incompetent to address a simple question, then how is she expected to run this country?
