APUSH Extra Credit

Joe Springer Hr. 2

1.) Who won the debate and why?

I personally think that Joe Biden won the debate. He
addressed key issues and kept his defense and offense
momentum going the entire drive. Senator Palin however
was the underdog in this situation, and did exceed original
expectations. Yet Senator Palin merely survived the debate,
she did not win by any means. Biden attacked, Palin
defended. Some news networks considered the debate a tie. I
mean really? Just because she didn’t breakdown and cry
during the debate doesn’t mean she put up a debate just as
good as Joe Biden’s.

2.) Who do you feel will make a better vice-President and

why?
I feel that Joe Biden will make a better VP due to his
knowledge of the government and his strong history. I also
think that his “loose tongue” is a good trait in the America of
today. Too often Presidents are lying to us, and making
things seem better then they seem. What we need in the
world of today is an elected official who isn’t afraid to go on
national television and say “We screwed up” and not dodge
the truth. Palin claims she’s an outsider and that this
somehow benefits her. Really? Doubt it. She doesn’t know
how to do anything. She’s a puppet of McCain, not to
mention only picked to win over Hilary Voters.
