Fight Night!!! Biden vs. Palin

So, the 2008 Presidential elections are now on their way!  With both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions finished and the candidates all in their positions and ready to roll, campaign season is finally in full swing!

Now while Obama and McCain have been ready to go toe to toe for some time, the most interesting story is the VP picks.  Now, Joe Biden, Barack Obama's choice for the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate is no slouch.  He's a well-known individual with a long track record, years of experience in politics and national and international affairs and relations.  His portfolio is pretty extensive.  There is no denying that.  He's even an old friend of political rival for the run of the nation, John McCain!

The Republican VP pick, on the other hand, was the biggest surprise and is really causing the most stir of all!  Sarah Palin, the Governor of the distant state of Alaska, is John McCain's choice for the second most powerful seat in the nation.  She is a virtual unknown and was seemingly picked out of nowhere.  There has been much speculation that the vetting process for her was not nearly the extensive process that most any other VP candidates have gone through.  Her being an unknown and also seeming to have not been vetted as thoroughly as others, people are anxious to find out what will come out of her proverbial closet and media sources are happy to oblige and are digging up plenty that they can find!  Already, stories have been "blowing up" about the things that people have found out about the seemingly mysterious woman!  So far on the table now:

• The extent of her political career is that she was mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Alaska for two terms and has been the Governor of Alaska for less than two years.
• She decided that it was in her and her baby's best interests to fly across the country to Alaska after her water broke and she was a month early for delivery.
• Sarah Palin's 17 year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol, is currently pregnant and engaged to be married to the father, 18 year-old Levi Johnston, who describes himself as a "f___'in redneck".
• On Levi Johnston's MySpace page, before it was removed, where it asked about kids, he wrote "I don't want kids."
• Sarah Palin shows great disrespect to those who have and do play the role of community activists.

Now, are all these things really pertinent in the upcoming election?  Maybe there are ways that some of these will be...  The point is that this is just what was dug up within the first day.  Many more stories are sure to come out, mostly because so little is known about her by the general public.  She seems to be shielded right now from really fielding questions, so the highly anticipated day, though weeks away, is going to be "Biden vs. Palin": Fight to the Finish!
