Straight Up: The Vice Presidential Debate

I will admit, it is difficult going into a debate with a borderline unhealthy love of the Obama Biden ticket versus the McCain Palin one. After reading every article that pops up in my iGoogle news about the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, it was hard to take Palin seriously. I consider myself a pretty objective individual, but I can admit that I was predisposed to cognitive dissonance from 9:00-10:30 pm last night. Inwardly, I cheered everything Joe Biden had to say, choosing to ignore his stumbles, but when Palin made an equally good point, I found ways to discredit and ignore those as well. The self-fulfilling prophecy of a predicted Biden win. I of course don't like this point of view, but I feel it stretches across the broad population. At this point, those voters in November have made their decisions-- and there are very few who may swing to the other party. Here I go again! What about swing states? What about those just getting involved in the debate?Again, NY is not a swing state and the majority of minds are made up, same thing in Massachusetts so my exposure to teetering areas is limited. I will have to follow the polls more closely in reference to who is receiving more support after the next two debates.
Before the debate Caitlin, Kim, Camille and I went to see a pre-screening of Bill Mahar's documentary, Religulous. Check out the link, and check out the film. It was awesome. It will be released in all theatres today (3rd) and Spectrum Theatre is also showing us. Shout out to Br. Linh for giving Caitlin and I the passes!
