I was speaking completely hypothetically...and if you think Obabma is an "EXTREMIST RADICAL" - don't ever come to Canada, you'd have a stroke if you encountered some of our candidates! :)
That's exactly it: once in office, both the President and the VP are not going to be able to pick and choose which crises/problems they want to deal with, or in what order. The debates are the closest that the public is going to get to seeing how the candidates - any of them - react to situations they CAN'T control, which require thinking fast on their feet, and knowledge of things - and of what they want to do/accomplish. It's a test not only of how well a candidate can put forward talking points - which is literally all Palin did, and which can be done in any stump speech - but also, more importantly, of how they react under time pressure in a tough situation to things they can't predict or control. The McCain campaign's insistence that the format of the debate be so restricted that it didn't allow Ifill much room to throw a curve ball to either Palin OR Biden robbed the public of that chance. People call Palin's performance "exceeding expectations," but I actually disagree with that. We didn't even get to see her DEAL with expectations; only rattle off pre-drilled talking points...which is little different from your average stump speech.
Just bumping up so if anyone didn't read post 3, they could have another chance.
