Joe Biden

Campaign Myths Busted

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, Socialist or of the Green Party, you are faced with the mind-boggling task of filing through the media's coverage of each candidate. With every click of the remote and turn of the page, falsehoods are being "ripped from the headlines," bearing witness to new age campaigning and swayed voting. As November looms over our heads it is about time that we cleared up a few of these well-known myths.


Mavericks?

If I hear the word "maverick" one more time, I might finally lose my cool. Then again, Joe Biden almost did. Last night's VP debate wasn't the train wreck expected by political analysts. Palin met the low expectations set forth for her and Biden didn't come off as a know-it-all windbag. The most memorable quote of the night was Palin enlightening Biden, informing him that the chant isn't "drill, drill, drill," but is "drill, baby, drill." The most touching moment was when Biden choked up while speaking about the death of his first wife and daughter. And the most frustrating moment when Palin failed to name a single Bush economic policy that she disagreed with. All in all, the debate was entertaining, and slightly terrifying. 32 days until Nov. 4!
