Debate Musings

With an ah-shucks-doggone-it-yah-you-betcha, Sarah Fargo held her own during last nights Vice Presidential debate.

I've gotta say though, it was a little awkward watching the debate along side Mrs. Fischer, since Fargo kept winking at me all night. She totally digs me.

Biden stuck to his strategy of going directly after John McCain and not tether the fine line of appearing the bully toward the Governor. When Fargo spoke, however, Biden managed to strike an eerie resemblance to a creepy old guy that sits alone at the corner of a bar and gazes with a smitten wide smile at the cute young lady across the room.

Fact checks have yielded copious fabrications and distortions from each side, so we'll render this debate as nothing more than a give-and-take of stump speech regurgitation.

My favorite moment of irony was when Fargo asserted that our brilliant founding fathers had the foresight to submit flexibility in the constitution in regard to executive powers of the Vice President.

Gulp.

The Republican mantra when it comes to the constitution has long been that it is an absolute document that isn't open to interpretation. This is why conservatives often lament activist judges, at least when the liberal media can't be blamed. Conservative judges are referred to as constitutional constructionists.

Both candidates were on their game, with Biden elevating himself with a bit more substance because he chose to actually answer the questions.

As for Fargo?
