America says Biden won the debate

Prior to thursday night, the vice presidential debate was a highly anticipated event as millions of Americans were eager to hear the views of both Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. In a recent story that I read, America feels that Joe Biden is more knowledgeable and although people really like Sarah Palin they question wheather she can lead this country.

If America had to vote immediately after watching the debate, 52 percent would for Obama/Biden. It seems as if Palin's performance in the debate did nothing to persuade the votes for millions of Americans. Palin is a very likeable candidate and I think she will be able to take some votes because of her personality and character. Biden is very straight forward and Palin is able to deliver her views in ways that appeal to voters. However, according to America it seems as if the Obama/Biden campaign is still favored to win the election.

While Obama has solid leads among blacks and the young, McCain attracts older voters. One aspect that differs for the candidates is the location of the voters. Urban voters are voting heavily for Obama while rural areas are voting heavily for McCain. Whatever happens in the next month, this election is shaping up to be a exciting one
