As interesting as milk-toast...

As I watched the vice-presidential debate Thursday night there was a recurring theme that kept floating through my brain as each candidate did as their party requested and did not rock-the-boat...this debate is as interesting to watch and as spicy as milk-toast.

The only saving grace for Joe Biden was that he actually answered the questions put to him and answered them with grace and facts.  Ms. Palin, on the other hand, refused to actually answer the questions put to her and instead set her own agenda.  Her folksy dialect began to wear thin about half-way through the meeting as well.  

Ms. Palin spoke about belief in family values and I wondered as I watched her family after the debates what exactly her family values were.  See, what I saw was Ms. Palin holding her new baby and then her youngest daughter carrying this newest edition to their family around the podium area.  At no time was Daddy Palin involved in the caring for of this child - as a matter of fact, in each of the appearances the family has made, Daddy has been noticeably hands-off with this newest edition.  He seems more interested in being recognized for being "the guy" rather than taking care of the rest of his family...I'm just saying that this is the appearance as I see it.
