I am truly enjoying watching the run-up to the U.S. Presidential
elections. Not only is this a traditional market moving event, but it
is also, like a novel, full of surprises and twists and turns, made
more appealing by the tug-of-war on the bail-out bill that adds up to
an anticipated exciting climax in November. Last night's vice
presidential debate was one such dramatic turn for me!
I am not an American and my scant knowledge of the political
personalities involved in this unfolding drama is limited to the blogs
I read and the newscasts I watch. And in most accounts, the Republican
vice presidential candidate was being pictured as wanting in many ways,
committing one boo boo after another, in short, a misfit unfit for the
calling of president-in-waiting of the biggest democratic country in
the world. But ah, last night's debate turned my world upside down.
Contrary to the blog posts I read about her, Palin turned out to be
more of a principled crusader and a better statesman the night of the
debate than her arch rival Joe Biden. Palin not only held her ground
against a more experienced elder statesman, but she also practically
outshone him in all categories. Biden, although cool and composed
throughout the debate lacked fire and enthusiasm appearing at times, to
me, as being totally detached from the ongoing financial turmoil in his
country. He appeared more like reciting lines from a memorized script.
On the other hand Palin was more spirited and spoke with convictions.
