Aftermath of the VP debates

After veiwing the highly anticipated vice presidential debates we can now see the candidates in a slightly diffrent light. This was certianly an oppertunity to get to know Sarah Palin better. He deminer is something to be noted. She used many expressions during her speach such as "Joe six pack" "say it aint so Joe" and "dog gone it". These expressions may be used by her to realte to the American public and make her seem down to earth and home-townish. But did they do the job? Is this how America wants it's polititions to act? How did her performance during the debate affect how America veiws her?

i think she was jsut trying to relate to the american people that mccain doesn't nessecarily relate to. but i think it also made her look a bit silly, she may very well be vice president one day and i know that i don't want a vice president that doesn't sound intelligent when she speaks. as vice president she will travel the world, representing the united states and i dont want her to do that sounding so ridiculous.

I can see how Palin's use of words may appeal to the average American but I also think there is a place and time for certain language. I don't care if she talks like that during less formal occasions, but I don't think it fit with the setting of the debate.
