My Sunday Wrap-Up

Source Accessed at 11:15 pm on Sunday, October 5th, 2008

These are the key topics of the week:

1. The VP debate - The vice presidential debate on TV was one of the most highly expected show since the Presidential debate. It was watched by millions of people. Many voters say that the VP debate doesn't really mean much to the actually presidential race, but I beg to differ. I know that especially in this debate, if McCain were to win, Palin would have to take over if anything should happen. Many people are starting to take the VP race just as important as the actually presidential debate.

2. The Presidential Post-Debate Stats - This was the second most talked about topic this week. A lot of people are still on the nitty gitty facts of the debate. Some were arguing that McCain won, while others were say Obama won. I, myself, didn't watch the debate but I have heard but sides of the spectrum. A lot of people are already talking about the next Presidential debate and the tension that is building.

3. Economy - the economy is still an important part the this election. I have a feeling that from now on, there will not be a week without something being said about the economy. It should be that way; there are many voters that are voting primarily on the standpoint on the economy, I am one of them. I will vote for the candidate that has the best economic plan.

4. Bail-out - The bail-out came up again late in the week because of the bill passing the procedural hurdle. I don't really understand what that means but it has to do with the economy so I need to pay more attention. I know this bailout will supposably get us out of the "depression" but were is this money coming from? Also, I have heard that Obama doesn't support this bailout. I thought he was a key follower of it? Who Knows?

5. Palin Problems - The word at the beginning of the week was... Palin is terrible. By the end of the week it was... Palin "Power" is revived. I don't understand, I heard she did terrible at the debate but then I hear that she represented well. With Reuters as my source, they tell me straight up, so I don't have any framing to believe. I kind of feel that I need to have a guideline to go on so I have something to believe or understand. They leave me with making my own decisions. Which isn't always a bad thing.

Everybody that I talked to this week, and what I have over heard from people was that Palin was a mistake. Most people have said that after the debate, Palin was a very poor decision. She didn't represent the republicans as well as she should have. We need a new Republican VP!
