Keith not connecting with VP candidates
I talked to Keith Clark today about his impressions of the vice presidential debate. Keith didn’t feel a connection to either candidate.
Keith already knew about Sarah Palin’s family, but was looking to get a feel for where she stood on the issues. Did she swing his vote?
“Ms. Palin hardly answered any questions,” Keith said. “She went around them and would say ‘I’m sorry to not answer the question, but I want to address the American people instead.’”
He thinks she came across as fake when saying things like “Goshdarnit,” “Joe Six-Pack” and “Hockey mom.” He said she seemed confused and had some of her facts wrong. Keith said she miscounted the number of troops in Iraq and didn’t say the right name of the general.
Keith watched a Today Show story on Monday about Palin that talked about her salary and three homes.
“She says she’s middle class,” Keith said. “I don’t see it.”
Joe Biden didn’t do much better with Keith’s vote. Keith didn’t like that Biden spoke in terms of being president.
“One person’s fake and the other one thinks he should be president,” Keith said.
Though Keith had a lot to say about Palin, Biden didn’t seem to make much of an impression on him at all.
I wonder what’s worse?
