I was going to vote 3rd party until I watched the debate last night. Palin is so scary that I'm forcing myself to vote Obama, even though I disagree with his lack of a truly progressive agenda on virtually every issue.

I think you need to watch that debate again and then hit the books for some accurate information. I counted two factual errors made by Gov. Palin. She called the general "McClellan" instead of "McKiernan".Given the heat of the debate and the fact that McClellan was a famous general, it's not too bad an error. And she said that troop levels were down to presurge levels. They aren't yet, but will likely be later this year.

On the other hand Sen. Biden made at least 22 errors. You can visit multiple online sites to see the growing list--NRO online is one of the best. Some of his biggest errors include:

1.Saying the US and France kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon.Maybe he really meant to say Syria was kicked out of Lebanon. But we didn't do that either. It was the Lebanese that kicked Syria out.

2.Biden said we spend more in Iraq in a month than we have in the Afghanistan war. That's off by 2000 percent.

3.He was wrong about Article I of the constitution and the role of the VP. And Biden is a lawyer.

4.Saying McCain voted against a nuclear test ban treaty which all other senators supported. Actually 49 other senators voted against it.

5.Saying Pakistan can hit Israel with nuclear weapons. Actually the longest range missle they have would fall 1000 miles short. Unless he was revealing classified information, in which case he should be prosecuted for same.

6.He said he supported new coal plants, but earlier videotape has him opposing it.

7. He said that McCain had said he wouldn't meet with the government of Spain. That was false.

8.Biden denied that Obama said he would would sit down with Ahmadinejad without preconditions. But its on video for everyone to see.

9.There hasn't been a Katie's restaurant on Union Street for 25-30 yrs.

There too many other mistakes and gaffes to enumerate, but clearly Sen. Biden is either ill-informed or having memory problems or deliberately lying. As an Independent, I believe Gov. Palin clearly won the debate. She used Biden's own words against Obama when she noted that Biden said Obama was not qualified to be President. He had no response to that.She also has more executive experience than any of the other candidates. She was also more forward looking and positive than Biden, who seemed more interested in running against President Bush than McCain/Palin. This debate makes me want to vote for McCain/Palin. The other ticket seems too negative and too risky. Picking Biden as VP candidate shows appalling judgement on Obama's part.

Everyone has been so conditioned to believe everything they hear in the news and see on TV, that they don't even recognize real when they see it. Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin, nothing insidious or scare about her. For all of you who've been brain washed by the elitists, hollywood, and the media . . .I am really sorry that you will never recognize the truth when you see it.
