Thursday it's Going to be Quite a Show..VP debates

Normally when looking towards the future presidential elections, you focus on the main players, the folks running for president. Every since I was able to vote, I took it upon myself to go vote, I was quite the enthusiastic participant in this Democracy will live in. Until this year, I was pretty much sure of what I wanted in a leader, then our presidential candidates left me feeling a little lost on what I wanted for my future. Obama and McCain, to me they both aren't my ideal candidates. McCain's years and years of experience, meshed with Obama's youth and articulate skills in commanding an audience, would make the "perfect" candidate to me. So in getting no resolve in my presidential candidates, part look at the VP candidates, to help me foster my decision. Like the presidential candidates, at this time, the VPs don't stand out at me. Palin's VP ticket with McCain for the most part has hindered my views of the Republican Party even further. I always hoped and believed that when deciding on the nation's best interest, that the guys in DC would be taking things with great assault, but upon hearing that Sarah Palin was nominated to be VP, my blood boiled and my confidence of a better tomorrow in the land of the free, went up in ashes. Senator Palin as not done the best in public speaking, and Thursday's debate will be somewhat of a very interesting side show to this overall Joke of an Election. I would hope Senator Biden preps his debate well, because on some levels, Palin might surprise the nation on Thursday. With all the press pretty much expecting for complete failure on her part as an orator, there is much of little expectations on her performance Thursday night. In all honesty, I am excited to see if Senator Palin if just a pretty face, or does she have something really spectacular that the American People has not yet seen?
I understand that candidates need to relate with the general American people, but people!!! The folks running for positions in command of our country, should not be the blue color, back roads-thinking, American Soccer mom! I just hope my generalization of Palin is wrong.. We will see Thursday!
