The Vice-Presidential Debate: Gov. Palin

You’ve heard a lot about John McCain and Barack Obama, and last night you continued to hear about them, except this time it was from their running mates. Sen. Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin took to the stage to appear before America and do their best to convince them why their candidate needs to be the next leader of the free world.

Last night was especially big for Gov. Palin seeing how she’s received negative feedback for her recent interviews with the major networks. The Alaskan governor had to prove she knows what she’s talking about, and tell us why John McCain will bring change to America. Unfortunately she failed to tell us which specific newspapers and newsmagazines she reads.
