Veep Debate

CNN's poll of 611 Americans conducted during last night's VP debate came to the following conclusions:
  • Only 26 percent of those surveyed said that Palin was more intelligent in the debate compared to the 57 percent who chose Biden
  • Overall, 51 percent of the debate watchers said that Biden did the best job in the debate, while 36 percent gave the nod to Palin.
  • However, the Alaska governor overcame expectations as 84 percent of the debate watchers said she did better than expected

So lets get this straight; Biden is deemed more intelligent by a 31 percentage point margin and is judged to have won the debate by a 15 point gap. Yet, Palin exceeded the expectations of 84% of those polled - They clearly had a staggeringly low opinion of her before she began.

Just because she didn't fall flat on her face doesn't mean she won the debate, nor does it make her any more credible. In the event of McCain being unable to fulfill his duties, for whatever reason, can you really imagine this woman as President?
