With the issues going on the bailout and the upcoming debate between senator Sarah palin and Joseph Biden it was surely a busy week. Now that the debate took place people have their own opinion on how each performed. Peter Baker writes an article about the debate. He claims that Sarah Palin got out of the debate luckily unscathed. According to his article Palin meets test, from Newyork times he describes the debate as a test, which Senate Palin was able to put up well as less expected. He compares it to the previous interviews she had done. He uses evidences and certain facts and figures to prove. This goes ahead to show his credibility.
Peter Baker first mentions was what palin was going up against. That is Senator Joseph Biden, ‘who has been debating on the floor of the United States Senate for the past 36 years.’ This is unlike Palin. He mentioned that she never stumbled in response to some questions even though she didn’t have ‘breakthrough moments.’
The author also mentions how Palin kept her image whom her fans. This was the “folksy hockey mum.” He gives certain instances to support this. With the Phrases “like ‘darn right,’ ‘doggone it,’ ‘you betcha’ and ‘God bless her.’ The author says that Palin was able to comfortable talk about domestic issues and besides some instances where Biden was able to rise up; she was aggressive and kept going.

Well the author was able to show his credibility by sharing both sides of the story and the some few down falls for Palin. He mentioned that at one point she ‘confused the name of the newly confirmed commander of U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, Gen. David McKiernan, calling him McClellan.’ Although this happened Palin was probably able to manage and stay focused at the debate. This goes on to support the author’s claim that Sarah palin had a great test that she managed to emerge largely unscathed.
