Vice Presidental Debate

Tonight at 7 o'clock Mountain Time Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin faced off in the first and only Vice Presidential debate. I had the opportunity of watching this debate on campus with a group of students and professors all brought together by their yearn for wanting to become a better informed voter. When I walked into this room tonight I was both exited and anxious for what the night held in store and for also being able to talk about the debate logically afterward. Sadly, this excitement began to diminish when I realized that I had walked into a room that was completely one sided. They didn't take into consideration that there might be opinions other than their own sitting right next to them. It was hilarious to listen to the outburst responding to the answers given. For example, Sarah Palin was so wrapped up in her rebuttal that she forgot to answer the original question asked. The whole class then proceeded to grill her on this issue. Then, not two questions later Senator Joe Biden did the same and you heard no outburst stating that he forgot to answer the question. I just believe that if you hold one person to a certain standard isn't it right to hold others to that standard as well.
