More people tuned into the 1st vice presidential debate last Thursday than are expected to tune into this week’s 2nd presidential debate. This seems surprising to me, how about you? The media is implying that people weren’t watching because they really wanted to know where Joe Biden and Sarah Palin stand on different issues, but rather because people were just hoping that Palin would make a complete fool of herself or that Biden would have one of his all-too-frequent “speak-os.” Does it really take that to get people watching debates?

Some “highlights” of the debate for me:

1) Both Biden and Palin spent their 90 seconds in response to the question about their achilles heels talking about all of their achievements.

2) Palin seemed to be spouting off memorized lines that often were not related to the questions she was asked. Don’t get me wrong, Biden did do his own share of topic changing, too!

3) At different times during the debate, both vice presidential candidates gave answers that were a bit difficult to “tap into” and pull a STANCE out of. I think one did this more than the other, but we might not agree on which one.

Well, I’m not the only one who found the debate humorous: SNL did their spoof of the event this past weekend, and I thought you might get a kick out of it. If you weren’t able to see the real thing, you can get up to date by the fake one. However, if you, like me, DID see the debate, I think it’ll be even better for you!

Here you go, a huge thanks goes out to Tina Fey and her writers…you, as Washington outsiders and mavericks, are really speaking directly to the American people. Click here to watch the hilarious fake debate!
