As soon as the words "he has been no maverick on the issues that matter to people" rolled off his tongue I was happy. At the beginning of the debate I was waiting to see the real Biden, and with that statement he came through. Biden is a man with a lot of personability, to put it simply he's got that grandpa quality, and that is exactly what the Democratic Party needs.
Not that I am an expert on any level, but to be honest this election has done to me exactly what it has done to so many other young people who for the first time have decided to take a passionate interest in the election. There have always been qualms about the environment, religion, issues have always existed. But in this era the information is streaming so much faster into the hands of the public and especially kids that its impossible to overlook it, its all over MTV for gods sake.
This debate brought it full circle. it was a striking portrayal of politics today.
The Republican Party is exactly where they were 8 years ago, and they should be it has been winning them elections, and a lot of money. They have a story, they have connections, even if their loyalties are to the richest of the rich they have the ability to recruit the poorest of the poor. Palin is just another story, but perhaps this time Republicans will be able to see through the cover, and see exactly what she is, a fictional character, and that is not sexism. You could see that in everyone of her answers.
The Democratic Party is somewhere new, and you can tell they are a little bit apprehensive about it, as they should be. At no time in history has computers and cell phones played such a major role in an election. Not to mention his race. Its an amazing time to part of politics.
Thats it for now. But there is more to come on this subject.
