The Most Important Part Of The VP Debate Of Course Missed By The Mainstream Media

The highest rated Vice Presidential debate, and...

Well,

from Senator Biden we learned little if nothing new. Why would he want to inject a new conversation into a political race that his ticket is winning?

From the media we learned nothing new as usual. Of course Republicans downplayed Palin exactly as they did McCain so that a second rate performance could be seen as a home run.

The media also got bogged down in number fact checking, quote comparisons, and other pretty useless statistics similar to those given in a lull point of a football game on espn.

Some important revelations have appeared concerning Sarah Palin.

It scares me when politicians start talking about how America is different than other countries, inherently superior with no basis of judgement, almost as if we were ordained by God...

couple this with a strong religious belief in Christian literalism and you have a pure ideologue on your hands. More specifically the McCain campaign has one on their hands.

This is the point,

The most important aspect of this debate was of course not covered by the media. It came well into the debate when the moderator asked about the role of the vice president. While Biden gave the traditional description expected, Palin said loud and clear that she did not only support what Dick Cheney has done with the position, but would want to make it even stronger.

• Quick background: Dick Cheney has stated that the VP belongs to neither the executive branch nor the legislative branch, but participates in both. This means that the VP maintains power in two branches of government, "remember the checks and balances charts from high school" while being exempt from rules of both. 
  

Palin not only supported this, but smiled as she did it, "not sure if she threw a wink in there too."

---Overall---

The VP debate showed us nothing new about the media or the Democratic ticket.

Republicans again lowered expectations so far down that the fact Palin didn't collapse half way through the debate equalled unexpected success.

The scariest and most significant thing learned was the true believer that Palin is, and the fact that this could be exerted in a newly created branch of government formerly known as the Vice President.
